The Fountain of Youth.
From the Saturday Evening Post

From the Saturday Evening Post
Like pretty much everything else. this
matter of having children has two sides to
it. AS a great many children are failures
and as children are the joint product Of
heredity and environment, both elements
preponderantly under parental control, 1t
would seem more sensible to say that there
were too many people undertaking parental
responsibility instead Of too few. And.
further, parentalhood has many cares and
sorrows and exasperations. Still. when all
Is said, how many persons who founo
themselves childless at forty-five have ceen
able honestly to congratulate themselves!
Children have a 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 advantages Is the adj
vantage of prolonging ones life. Growing
children will keep any proper man or wo-
man young in spirit and in mind, will re-
tard the development of that sour yet COM
placent cynicism which curses old age both
for ones self and for those about one.
The man or the woman-again. the right
sort of man or woman-who has children
drinks every day deep draught at tha
fountain Of eternal youth.
