such a way as TO make the audience

for our benefit alone bur for the
dement, OF the human race OF the fu-
ture.
Prof. Maynard compared the brain
OF the lowest class of nan TO that of
the high class animal. n through
education IL will require seven gen
erations 20 erase from the human
race that animal instinct and produce
learned men and women in general.
by the study OF the past and present
in human nature IL takes only a little
knowledge TO know what will be the
outcome Of the future unless we are
advocates OF broader education and
we can trace the instincts TO igno-
rance OF ones own self. We should
understand ourselves and attempt to
correct our living for the good OF the
human race.

look TO the proper raising OF children.
Legislature donates $4,000 to the
raising OF hogs. etc. but not one cent
toward the raising OF children. IL
seems II does not really matter wheth-
er or children are born. II n man

lie the reason for such and the
heredity OF ignorance OF self. In
