“ Some of us here in New Hampshire are engaged in man-hunting and we find it great fun. We are not looking for people whom we wish to injure or capture against their will. We are seeking men and women who will join us in the thrilling work of state development. ”

“ Upon the economic foundation must be raised the cultural superstructure, so there are opportunities for educators, artists, musicians, sculptors, craftsmen of all kinds, gardeners, forsesters — for all men and women who love to express themselves in the creation of beauty. ”

“ It is of first importance to see that a solid economic foundation is placed under all families. There must be economic security for homes. There must be no unemployed. Three great fields must be developed to provide economic rewards. ”

“ No one is asked to take part in this development work as a duty. Those who enlist do so because of the joy they find in it. People who love the same things are grouped together and they have a glorious time in friendly contact. ”

“ Many men who are now living in cities and are engaged in business write and ask us what they can possibly do to keep busy, should they follow their inclinations and move to the country. They do not want to vegetate. ”

“ These are agriculture, industry and recreation. Surely any man with ability, initiative, eagerness to serve, and good health can find something to do in these three departments that will keep him busy as long as he lives. ”
