EUGENICs AND THE DEVELOP
MENT OF CHHDREN. !

Two very Important probiems.of the
present age are Eugenics and the De-
yelopinent Of Children. The aim Of
Eugenics Ia that every Individual be
well born, while the development. Of
children Aiims to bring out all the lat
ent possibilities Of the Individual child
In order that he may be a happy and
useful member Of society.
The realization Of the aim that chill
dren be we'll born depends upon the
proper development Of the children Of
the present. because to have healthy
parents for future generations, we
must get them from healthy children
in this generation.
From the very nature Of heredity it
will always be impossible to intelli-
gently control marriages and the solu-
ton OF the problem must lie in bring
ing children to normal and freeing
them from their inherited and Inherit
able disease states.
It Is q well demonstrated fact. that
any individual under twenty-five years
Of age and with the; gravest Inherit

to him again, he jumped from, his
hiding place and-well, he says him
self that it was just luck and nothing
else that saved him. You see he al
most ran right into q hunter, and the
only thing that saved Peter from the
terrible gun was the fact that when
the hunter saw Peter he was too close
to shoot.
It didn't take Peter many jumps to
get behind a bush. No, sir! And he
was mono too soon, for just as he did
SO there was a bang from the terrible
gun and the shot made a great hole
In, the ground right at Peters heels.
Frightened? Why Peter was so
frightened that for few jumps he
just ran -blindly. not knowing where
he was going. Then he thought of the
dear Old Brier Patch. He would get
there as. quickly as he could. He knew
now Just how Mrs: Grouse had felt
when she was hunted.
