RESULTS AND ROSES

The man who wants a garden fair, Or small or very big, With flowers growing here and there, Must bend his back and dig.

The things are mighty few on earth That wishes can attain. Whate'er we wan of any worth We've got to work to gain.

It matters not what goal you seek, Its secret here reposes: You've got to dig from week to week To get Results or Roses.

Wishing you a happy Anniversary - and hoping you have many more to come.

On Your Anniversary -

We are honoring you Dr. Van Waters, on your eighteenth year as Superintendent of the Reformatory for Women - and yet, you seem to be just opening a new field for your girls.

Your work here among the girls must remind you of a flower garden. Your ideas and plans are like seeds planted - some grow and blossom to their fullest, while others are tread upon by disinterested bystanders.

But through rain or shine - you stand by and tenderly care and watch the developments of your seeds.

May I add my sincere wishes to you by saying that in all your future work - may your garden blossom to its fullest height - and may you reap great happiness and comfort in your work.

-Lucille Bean-
