The world at large gives small attention to human effort until it has reached the full stature of a robust maturity.
By way of encouragement, it is well for many obscure toilers that there are those who think they see a bud of promise in the yet undeveloped effort.
Because of the loving interest she has always taken in my every "first attempt," I dedicate this little volume to
MY MOTHER.
