Our readingWhat is a korrent?
Charity attends to what a man ought to be rather than what he is or may become
Drawn from what Jane Addams said
What Jane Addams actually said
- Jane Addams American social reformer and founder of Hull House (1860 to 1935)
But in our charitable efforts we think much more of what a man ought to be than of what he is or of what he may become; and we ruthlessly force our conventions and standards upon him, with a sternness which we would consider stupid indeed did an educator use it in forcing his mature intellectual convictions upon an undeveloped mind.
