There is one episode in history which

and that impression has not been lost
or even become fainter in the years
that have passed since.
II happened in July, 1910, when n
group Of men, the representatives of
the American people, were gathered to-
gether about table, signing their
names to that great work known as the
Declaration of Independence.
Among the last to come forward was
a man from Maryland, and after writ
ing his name, Charles Carroll one Of
the others said to him, IF England
ever gets us in her power we are sure
to be hung as traitors. But there are
other men in the colonies by the name
Of Charles Carroll so you have more Of
a chance TO escape"
For Il moment there was silence, then
Carroll picked up the pen and after his
signature wrote the words: "Of Carroll

Like pretty much everything else,
this matter of having children has
two sides to it. AS a great many chill
dren are failures and as children are
the joint product of borcdity and cnvir-
onment, both elements pr2ponderantly
under parental control. il would seem
more sensible to say that there were
too many people undertaking parental
responsibility instead of too few. And
further, parenthood has many cares
and sorrows and eXasperatiOns. Still,
when all is said, how many persons
who found themselves childless at
forty five have been able honestly to
congratulate themselves?
Children have 4 use as an assurance
against restitution and loneliness in
old age. They are satisfactory to the
vanity for family Immortality. But
more than these and all other advan-
tages is the advantage Of prolonging
ones life. Growing children will keep
any proper man or woman young in
spirit and in mind, will retard the de-
velopment of that sour yet complacent
cynicism which curses old age both
for ones self and for those about
one.
