To improve the human race Mrs. +.
f. Wieland is planning to adopt sixty
children a year for ten years. She,
with her husband, John G. Wieland of
Rensselaer, Falls, n. Y, and Benja-
min Franklin of New York city, has
Incorporated the Commonwealth under
the laws of the state of New York.
Eight acres of land, q house, mill
and a stream, with sufficient water
power to light town, are in the pos
session of the corporation at Rensse-
laer Falls. Here the adopted children
are to be trained to right mental,
physical and manual effort as a prac-
tical demonstration of the laws of vi
bration."
Mrs. Wieland gave an enthusiastic
exposition of her theories, prospects
and hopes at the Sign of the Green
Teapot, in New York, the other after
noon. Names, numbers and colors are
fundamental principles in her plan.
She wore a surplice of pale blue be-

her system, she said, it would be Just

Mothers gasped at this, but Mrs. Vie.
land insisted that a comprehension OF
the laws of vibration and mental sci.
ence reduced work to the vanishing
point.
1t Is proposed later to have mothers
as well as infants in the Common
wealth, so that they may be properly
instructed in the duties of motherhood.
Mrs. Wieland is her own nurse and
physician and files the birth certificates
herself. She displayed four certifi.
Gates to prove her case. Her children
begin to work as soon as they can
walk, and that principle followed with
sixty babies would prove quite profita.
bic. One of her children, she related,
carried wood into the house and ar.
ranged it neatly in rows at the age Of
eighteen months. At the age of two
and half years the children begin
gardening. When they are five and
six years old they raise corn, two ears
being shown as a part of the crop
raised by children of that age.
The first of the sixty has already
been adopted. She is Russian Jew,
three months old, and has not yet been
named, because it is necessary to get
the date of her birth from Gouverncur

selected.
