men and women for marriage and
parenthood-the most important oc-
cupation of life.
Women will be guarded and protect
ed before the birth of children and
taught the wonderful import Of par
entail influence. Men will lift their
hats to an expectant mother and the
child will be welcomed with rejoicing
and reared as carefully as he was born.
This was done In the days of old
Greece, but woman was not allowed
the intellectual freedom which is hers
today, and the world was more cruel
and possessed less scientific knowl-
edge.
In the next hundred years science
is to make marvellous religious truths,
only known now to the few enlighten-
ed minds, universal facts, and that will
help men and women to go about the
propagation of a higher order Of
human beings with reverence and pa
thence.
The time will come when it will
seem a matter of surprise to the deni-
zens of the earth that diseased and
vicious people were ever allowed to
produce offsprings Meantime let
mothers remember how much they can
do today by keeping their minds up
lifted and their hearts full of love for
the unborn child they are moulding
And let them think before they be-
come wives of the manner of men
they are choosing for the fathers of
their children.
Every well-born child which comes
into the world today will help along
that time of which Miss Sickles writes
the time still far away, but coming
nearer and nearer, when men and
women shall realize what it means to
populate the earth.
So great an advance along these new
paths has progress made In a decade
that it seems interesting to reprint
the prophecy.
Since the above article was written
the society of eugenics has been form
ed and an international law has been
held.
A bureau of eugenics has been es-
tablished on Long Island, where men

ly existence of that life and that they
are quite as responsible to God and to
society for the lives they bring into
being as they are for the lives they
murder
THAT day is not as near as Miss
Sickles hopes yet such day must
come.
A day when the propagation of the
human family will be under as strict
a law as the breeding of fine fowls or
blooded stock with the additional ele-
ment of religion to aid science. Fine
animaIsS are bred by science-the
science of careful selection and wise
mating.
But it requires more elements to pro-
duce splendid specimen of the human
family than perfect animal.
Fine feathers make fine birds and
tender flesh and certain productive
and salable qualities complete the we'll
bred fowl.
The high-bred horses needs fine
points, speed and carriage. But the
perfectly bred human being, such as
the world waits to welcome, must be
mentally equipped and morally en-
dowed, as well as physically developed,
opd oil fboaa traits ohouId ha anuaIIu
balanced.
The man of stunted or deformed
body or giant proportions, the anemic
and undeveloped temperament or the
over-sensuous and self-indulgent, the
material-minded or the spiritual bigot,
are all types to be eradicated. The
ideal race-the coming thoroughbreds
will be men of good statue and
strong vitality, intellectual and rev.
erent, and all animated with an ambi-
ton to work together toward the bet
terment of this beautiful world De-
formities and degenerates will be I'M
known, save as accidents.
There are few deformed animals, be-
cause animals, even when left to them
selves, breed their young more accord
ing to nature that the average
man. All deformity of mind and body
is the result of wrong conditions-ig-
norance, self-indulgence, extreme pow
erty and extreme luxury. By and by
the wise people of the world are going
to see how necessary 1t is to control
the conditions under, which children
are propagated and reared.
Science will establish laws and par
ents will abide by them. No criminal,
no diseased person, no drunkard, viii

permissible for chronically insane,
criminal and diseased men to be steril-
lied and prevented from perpetuating
their ills. And in Indiana alone more
than five hundred such cases have
been operated upon.

NORWAY'S LITERARY LION

Love is the keynote of all human
action. the oldest, strongest and most
vital of human problems, and there
fore it is always the most attractive
and interesting subject, always old,
yet always new"
Thus Knut IIamsun. the Norwegian
literary lion" who has been hailed
as the equal of Isbcn and Bjornson
by his scandinavian admirers. and
whose works are now being read all
over Europe and are beginning to at
tract attention on this side of the
Atlantic.
There are Norv cgianS i'm New York
Wisconsin and Minnesota who may
recall one knut Peterson, a ''grcen-
horn from the old country, who some
thirty years ago. worked as "A hired
hand, a cobbler and a harbor laborer,
and who posed as a lecturer and

offices OF the scandinavian nCwspap.
ers. The Knut Peterson of that time
became the Knut Hamsun, the literary
celebrity after his return to his native
land. The hard working Norwegian
farmers of Minnesota and Wisconsin
considered Knut Pederman as some
thing Of lazy vagabond. AS for
Pederman, he hated America and
Americans, and afterwards expressed
that loathing in his books.
The author was the son of ~ poverty
stricken farmer. and had practically
no education other than that he picked
up by his own efforts. From his youth
he was an eccentric dreamer. with
poetic instincts. and while working on
his fathers farm he composed verses
