CONDITIONS IN CONNECTICUT.
Too Sweeping Generalisstions from Isolated
Instances.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In regard to the statements In the ADDRESS
of the Rev. Mr. Hutchins concerning the moral
conditions prevalent in the small towns OF Con-
necticut I would say that think the picture Is
somewhat overdrawn.
We in Connecticut bad enough. put not So
bad az we have been painted. do not believe the
conditions in the small towns are so alarming as
the conditions In the cities. Is this state so
much worse than its sisters in the Union as 10
deserve the unSavory reputation the puollcatlon oI
the address IN question is giving 1t.
Wherever oce goes he can find enough cases Of
depravity &c make up pessimistic story. But
in the interests OF accuracy should take q
comprehensive view Of questions of moral status
and should discuss them in a spirit or ju0icial
fairness.
The fatal defect OF the address is that Of the
common fallacy of making sweeping generaliza-
tons from certain isolated instances. The address
Is open to criticism, not much because lis state
reuts of fact may not be true. but because II does
not give the whole truth on the subject under o''
cussion.
We cannot deny that there is much moral inertia
in these towns there is also considerable moral
vitality that afd snSH5d to not vennre upon the

Sonable order OF procedure to say Let US nrsI

THE SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEsT

Not a little Of the apprehension mani
tested over the decline of the birth rate
among certain elements Of he popula

not Increase and multiply society is to
be a loser. In this assumption We have
an expression OF the aristocratiC theory
for which there has been little justifica-
tion in our history. In most countries
and at nearly all times the class living
in luxury has been less prolific than the
elements which have done the real work
Of the world. While there are and al
ways have been exceptions 10 the rule.
the families which survive and increase
must be regarded in the long run as the
ittest. and there can be little doubt that
sooner or later some member or mem
bers viii demonstrate the fact
The very fact that families wax and
wane that wealth takes wings and that
luxury carries certain penalties consti-
tutes one OF the most conservative forces
known 10 society 1t is potential even
IN monarchy IN q republic il should be
accepted not only as a matter OF course
but as something eminently desirable
The real Americans are not dying out.
TO matter what the statistics as 10
births in the families Of :he highly
favored may show. The strains which de-
serve 70 endure Will persist. regardless
OF fortune or environment, just IS they
always have done. II Will not make much
difference to the world whether they are
