Educators make much of growth, nor can we over-emphasize the
importance of the principle. But if the thing that is increasing
is bad, then growth is a curse immeasurable. Given a spark
and growth means a conflagration that ruins a city. Given a
gipsy-moth in the parks of New England and growth means the
devastation of the forests of a State. Given a disease, and
growth means death. Given any form of sin, and growth means
the wreckage of character and destiny. (Text.)--N. D.
