Excerpt from The Story of Robert Raikes: For the Young IF I were to show you a watch, which for one hundred and twenty years had worked without once stopping, and if I were to touch aspring and you were to hear musical bells chiming the hour and the quarters, many of you would ask me to take it to pieces and tell you all about the genius who designed it. I would gladly show you the wheels, and the jewels on which they run, and the musical chimes, and the slender springs moving like living things, and never growing tired, for it is a good sign when young people wish to know about what is useful and artistic.
