Letters
To the Editor of the Bulletin:
The loss of the work shop, ma
terials, and equipment of the Try
on Toy Makers is not only a trag
edy for the workers involved but
for the community at large. I
have been brought into contact
with many organizations devoted
to good craftsmanship, but never
in my experience have I known
one in which there was so fine a
spirit of cooperation and happiness
in the work from day to day as
that inspired by Mr. Richard
Brooks.
The clean cut character of the
thought underlying, this whole en
terprise was seen in the orderliness
and good management from the
office to the last board of walnut,
or mahogany, or superb cherry
that was neatly stored in the base
ment rooms.
Orders were piling in from the
finest companies in this land. Ob
jects that had heretofore been im
ported at great expense from
England were, under Mr. Brooks’
direction, improved and put out
in a professional perfection that
caused them to be reported in the
press at large. I ran across an
item referring to the English type
boot-jacks in one of the publ’’ca
tions of the TIME organization.
It is rare indeed that a man
of wide experience is so devoted
to the welfare of youth that he is
willing to spend the days that are
generally devoted to leisure in a
consecrated attention to building
up a fine industry in good crafts
manship, and take the risks, finan
cial and otherwise that are always
there when anyone does anything
constructive in this world.
My sympathy goes out to these
young men and women who had
the daily inspiration of contacts
with Mr. Brooks. There are

My Hero
I admire the man who can write
a biog—
Or an autobiography:
And the man who composed (what
a mind he disclosed!)
A book on Geometry!
But the mind of the man—
(Just conceive, if you can)
Who sets my poor mind all Agog, — A
Is the great Master-mind (all the I
rest lag behind!)
Who composes a CATALOGUE!
The big Dictionary that book
arbitrary—
Is an amplified decalogue:
But the computations and illus
trations
And knowledge of Zones and P. 0.
regulations—
Are all in a CATALOGUE!
All the magazines with their fash
ion-plates,
And the type of '“mugs” that an
artist hates,
With their chins poked out (and
their “tummies” too,
And their hands on hips, with their
arms askew,
As they show all the newest “togs ’
Are all eclipsed, as they ought to
be:
For the only beautiful girls we see,
Delights to the eyes of you and me, m
Peep out of the CATALOGUES."
