of the things in which he offered a problem. He never stuck with anything. As a problem child Miss Wald had taken him on to work at the settlement. He wouldn't stick. He wouldn't do the things that needed to be done. They weren't interesting and they were dirty. They often put you in touch with dirty people, or dirty houses. Even factory inspecting, in the interest of improving the physical conditions of factories, proved to be dirty work.

I don't think he stuck with me more than two months - a very brief time. I spent quite a lot of time on him. I never gave him a thought afterwards. Afterwards he went to school somewhere. Then his father told me sometime later when I asked how young Henry was that he had sent him to an agricultural school. He believed that that was going to just suit him. He believed he was really interested in agriculture and that at least they could make a good farmer out of him. At least if he couldn't make a good real estate operator or a good social worker, he was a good farmer. I think Uncle Henry bought him a controlling interest in some New York agricultural paper. It couldn't have been at this time because he wasn't old enough for that then. At this time I would say he was about twenty-one or two. He seemed quite young to me.
