HE and IT is astonishing how soon the race can
leave the result of age long Influences behind. We

slave and tyrant die too Unfortunately however
women seem to be getting rid Of their slave souls

many tragedies and much unrest. Mothers might
do much solve the problem If they would, but
far my experience goes most Of them are
sedulously cultivating the qualities which they
ought andeavor 70 eradicate, even TO the extent
Of creating them where they do not in any appre-
ciable degree exist "
