world are going to see how neces-
sary it is to control the conditions
under which children are props
gated and reared.
Science will establish laws and
parents will abide by them. No
criminal. no diseased person, no
drunkard. will be allowed to pro-
duce his kind.
Before a marriage license can
be procured, in that day to come,
a committee will investigate the
conditions and decide whether
the parties are proven people to
become parents. This viii lead
to the preparation of men and
women for marriage and parent
hood-the most important occu-
patton of life.
Women Will Be Guarded.
Women will be guarded and
protected before the birth Of
children and taught the wonder
full import of parental 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 to-day. and the
world was more cruel and pos
sessed less scientific knowledge.
In the next 100 years Science
is to make marvellous religious
truths, only known now to the
few enlightened minds, universal
facts, and that will help men and
women to go about the propaga-
ton of higher order of human
beings with reverence and pa
tienCe
The time will come when it will
seem matter of surprise to the
denizens of the earth that dis
eased and vicious people we're
ever allowed to produce offspring.
Meantime, let mothers remember
how much they can do to-day by
keeping their minds uplifted and
their hearts full of love for the
unborn child they are molding.
And let them think before they
become wives of the manner of
men they are choosing for the ia
theirs of their children.
Every well-born child which
comes into the world to-day 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.
GO great an advance along
y these new paths has prog
ress made in a decade that
it seems interesting to reprint
the prophecy.
Since the above article was
written the Society of Eugenics
has been formed and an interna-
tional congress has been held.
Interest in Eugenics.
A general agitation of the sub
ject of sex hygiene has occurred.
Every intelligent man and wom-
an, who is not absolutely self
bound. is interested in these pro-
gressive ideas, and the law has
been passed in four POSSIBLY
more) of the States making il
permissible for Chemically in
sane, criminal and diseased men
to be sterilized and prevented
from perpetuating their ills. And
in Indiana alone more than 500
such cases have been operated
upon.
Surely the dream of Miss
Sickles is coming true.

Sarah Padden, n of the youngest
and most interesting of the popular
dramatic stars of the period, comes to
the Kennedy Opera next Saturday
night Feb. l, presenting Charles Ken
yon's remarkable play, "kindling."
"kINDLING" tugs at every wo-
mans heart-strings and fills strong
mems eyes with tears; it portrays the
deep, hidden emotions of humanity
whether in palace or howell. Maggie
Schultz looks forward with terror to
the birth OF her baby in her dark, un-
lovely tenement home. She dare not
tell her husband, lest he strangle the
helpless bit of life when it should
come into the world; to him it was
little short Of murder to bring a help
less child into being, amid such sur
roundings. 1t required only a paltry
sum to go into far-away Wyoming, a
paradise of fresh air and glowing sun
light, where her child could have a
chance to grow up strong and decent.
The fateful opportunity presented it,
self and Maggie could not resist the
terrible temptation to steal the money
necessary to take them to the land of
her dreams. The theft is detected
and her husband is dumfounded when
she tremblingly reveals the truth to
him.
II never thought you were a thief,
Maggie" murmurs her husband,
brosenly, overwhelmed with the
tragedy that had come upon them.
Fortunately, the people from whom
she had taken the money were human
enough to understand and to forgive
the deed and it is through their aid
that Maggie and Heinie turn their
faces Westward, where they find
"roses blooming in Wyoming"
Thirty of the best known writer's
in America have used their influence
and prestige to persuade their friends
to see s'Kindling" and their efforts,
together with the exquisitely human
and pathetic figure of Maggie, have
brought a tremendous success to the
play. 1t Is a vivid, palpitating hui
man document all a-quiver with
pity and truth and written with a
passion OF sincerity so ardent as to
seem almost ablaZe.
