Clara Barton’s slogan: “People’s Help for National Needs.”

The American Red Cross (1896) never appeals for, nor solicits, aid for any purpose. Clara Barton.

The Red Cross has received nothing from the Government. No fund has been created for it. Clara Barton.

Not a penny of tax, nor dues, has ever been asked for the expenses of the National Red Cross. Clara Barton.

Every dollar and every pound that has been received by the Red Cross has been the free-will offering of the people, given for humanity without solicitation and disbursed without reward.

Clara Barton.

The greatest work performed by the Red Cross has consisted in the education of the peoples along the lines of humanity.

Clara Barton.

The Red Cross was “her child,” and Clara Barton naturally and willingly provided for it. Heroines of Modern Progress.
