QUALITY NOT QUANTITY.
Mrs. AdIai E. Stevenson Attacks
Rooseveitan Theory.


Bloomington. Ill.,, Oct. 17.--Presi.
dent Roosevelt Is all wrong In his
encouragement of large families. His
exhortations to American papas and
nammas to have tel or twelve young.
sters should be revised and improved

Quality is what the nation needs
IN children. not quantity
This. at any rate. is the emphatic
opinion of Mrs. Adlai E. Stevenson
wife OF the former vice president OF
the United States, and also the opin.
lon of the Illinois Federation OF Wo-
mems Clubs, II the applause which
greeted Mrs. Stevenson's speech is
TO be taken as criterion.
After dealing with the child labor
question Mrs. Stevenson turned to the
Rooseveltian theory OF big families
and of children by the wholesale.
while this appeal for larger fam.
lilies has been most urgent | do not
recall that there has been any word
In reference to the health or life of
the mother, nor has the ability of the
mother physically, mentally, morally
spiritually or financially to rear her
children been touched upon. The
question should not be how many
children, but what their conditions
are and what kind of citizens they
will make"
Mrs. Stevenson then took up what
she declared to be the duty OF all and
club women in particular--to see that
their husbands are well fed
