Your editorial July Il, 1909. on
The III bred criminal lOafing ele-
ments amongst us"lis such q sharp
appeal to the common sense of the
people. that none should overlook
the same nor under rate it's inn
portance Your suggestion of re-
form for the criminal classes of our
Race and of aid in preventing the
rising generation from being Grim
inals. Is certainly worthy of the best
thoughts. the greatest effort and the
most effective aid of which the in
telligent and united strength of the
people is capable OF. Such is indeed
the greatness of the subject. That
il is TO be very much regretted that
YOU gave. so little expression on the
subject in your Editorial. and did not
out line the plan OF reform as you
see TO be needed Tor the work of re
form and -the aid in preventing the
rising generation. from being Grim
inals, some plan indeed Of which the
good meaning people might gladly
and willingly turn TO and endeavOr
20 work out once they understand
and become interested. one great
blame and short coming OF the peo-
pie for lack of activity and keen in
terest IN suggested reforms MAY
with Justice be excused merely on
account of a lack OF knowledge as
20 the proper beginning and the man
aging of reform work. l fully agree
with you that the work Of reform in
this matter should begin in this gem
GRAFTON. But I absolutely do not
agree that the ill-bred criminal class
of the present generation can be re-
formed in a satisfying measure to
cure the evils complained of, and I
will here assert my conviction in the
matter and say that the reward of
the very best efforts OF the present
, generation can only be realized in
the next and succeeding generations
I take the stand and hold the view
that the remedy for the evils COM
planned OF may be found only in. Pre-
Natalism because the evil is positive
ly strictly of Prenatal origin. and
that means that we have got 10 start
! a generation ahead in any work Of re-
form of nature, where we wish 20
accomplish a change either for good
or FOR bad. This simply means that
the people regardless of Race or
class, must add another line to their
Educational list and educate thor
oughly in Pre-Natalism. That done
they will be prepared TO fight any
and all Prenatal ills and evils en-
tering the human system. without
such education any and all work Of
reform along those lines may be Of
about as much effective as would be
the results IL just so much labor and
effort would be spent in trying TO
turn the flow OF the ocean to an up
stream instead of allowing il to go
on in its own natural downstream
course undisturbed and without mo-
lestation. for il may be found in the
end that the Ocean will have won
the fight against whatever restraint
thrown up in its way and natural
course, and just so also will the end
be in reform work done in a fight
against Prenatal evils.
! entertain the view, that all Nat
uraI evils complained of in the hui
man system have a Prenatal begin
ming and that any positive cure for
such evils must likewise have a like
beginning. The remedy is in touch
with all prospective parents. and II
Is the duty of the parents of the
present generation 10 train and edu-
cate the prospective parents properly
in Pre-Natalism in the surest and
only positive way TO overcome I'm the
future generations; the evils com
planned Of in the present generation
We must come to understand
cleaIly that the cause of the evils
complained of against the criminal
classes amongst US as amongst ALI
or human kind. may be tradd to
the birth OF those classes tbroueb
Prenatal knowledge, and the simnIa
fact Is that those classes. are not horn
right. Do not live right. and viii
not die right. inspite too OF so mucb
reform effort spent in their behals
ms conclusion applies to the classes
ohplalned OF amongst all human
KIND alike the same. Whose entire
ne is predominated by their pre-
Natal characteristics.
EHective reforms at best are only
productive of good among such or
the classes complained of, who has
