A Knotty Problem Discussed by a
Woman.
Victoria Woodruff Martin, in her
magazine, the Humanitarian, says: A
man may possess a noble character ana
have a magnificent physique, but II he
does not perpetuate these qualities they
do not survive. A man may be dis
! eased. stupid or reckless, but withal he
marries and raises a large family; his
qualities are perpetuated, but 1t is not
the survival of tire fittcst. Many men
break their health down by overwork,
! and the terrible strain is seen In the
| nhvsical condition OF their children.
Many men have not over-exerted them
selves. and have had no scruples about
living on the charity of their relations
or friends. and hence their children 40
not srffer from the depleted physical
conditions of their fathers; but are
these children the survival OF h MT
test? Moral checks which would ap--
neol to the superior intellectual mind
do not influence the unfit. In the ma
iority of cases they have not q nervous
system sufficiently developed to appre-
ciate these motives.
An educated man made n remark
q short time ago: 1.-The cause OF so
much misery among the poor to-day Is
REORGANIZATION; it is their reckless In
dnlgence in large families. I am too
poor to marry, I can't afford to have a
family. 1 wish I could; and yet 1 am
called upon to pay taxes to educate and
help support others paupers;" Here Is
a MAJ who was accustomed to a GER
tain standard of living, and who, there
fore, did not care to have offspring who
would not have the same advantages
as be had had, or to have a family WHO
might become a burden IN others. The
abstention from reckless marriage by
the conscientious, of which this is an
example, has results which are most
disastrous in their effects en- the quality
of the human race. 1
