MUST BE GIVEN FAIR CHANCE
Soeiety's Obligation to the Child Well
Set Forth by Writer In
Atlantic Magazine.

AS member of the social group,
every child born is in some sense the
child Of the whole community. Organ.
lied society has always found it's real
meaning in the ideas, faiths, fashions,
hopes, emotions, which have been held
In common. The child Is born without
any character and without any knowl-
edge. 1t is the business of the various
social organs to do their best With
each fresh life The immediate social
organ is the family, of most import
ance during the first five years; after
that come the school, the street, liter
allure, business, politics, and whatever
else expresses the social faith. AS the
child receives these impressions he be-
comes gradually citizen of the little
world in which he finds himself. The
important field for practical eugenics
at the present time is in the social eff
fort to see that every child has fair
chance. To begin with, the child must
have the chance to live. M. Bertillon
says that of thousand children born
among the rich, 943 are alive at the
end of five years. But of every thou
sand children born among the poor,
only 655 are alive. The blood of these
children cries from the ground. Social
hygiene on the physical side, including
all the modern municipal efforts for
improvement, scarcely needs discus
sion, but it is equally important for So
ciety to see that the child not only has
a chance to live and to live well, but
also an opportunity for the fullest de-
velopment-Atlantic

Curious Facts About Oysters.

An oyster is wonderfully prolific,
producing 100000 young in one
year. If they and their offspring all
survived, they would within a few
years multiply so greatly as to fill up
our great bays and sounds, like Long
Island Sound, Peconic, GARDENERS,
Narragansett, Great South and Chesa-
peake bays. so that navigation would
be prevented. The oyster shells would
form solid land. as do the houses of the
coral insects; but, instead of increas-
ing, the destruction of the young oys-
tiers by their enemies is SO great, to-
gether with the depletion of the nat
ural beds by the demand for this de-
licious food by mankind. that, far from
increasing. the supply has greatly de-
pleted. and in many cases has threat
ened to become extinct. This was es-
pecially true in Great Britain and
