“ For You and Me the City is all Very Well, but we Owe our Helpless innocent Children a better Home. Children Need the Country. They must Grow Up in the Midst of Cows and Hay and Green Trees. Less than that is Cruelty. Any Book will Tell you That. An Apartment is Not a Home." So they Bought an Abandoned Farm on the Outskirts of a Suburb and Built up a Home There.
