A choice excerpt from the "Motley Fool":
| In the United Kingdom, the Charitable Uses Act of 1601
| attempted to define what is and what is not a charitable
| purpose. The preamble to that Act lists the following as
| charitable:
|
|"The relief of aged, impotent, and poor people; the maintenance of sick
| and maimed soldiers and mariners, schools of learning, free schools and
| scholars of universities; the repair of bridges, havens, causeways,
| churches, sea banks and highways; the education and preferment of
| orphans; the relief, stock or maintenance of houses of correction;
| marriages of poor maids; supportation, aid and help of young tradesmen,
| handicraftsmen and persons decayed; the relief or redemption of prisoners
| or captives and the aid or ease of any poor inhabitants concerning payments
| of fifteens, setting out of soldiers, and other taxes."
|"Moral Of The Story" (MOTS)
|
| Everybody writes standards,
| Nobody reads standards.
