Greeley. Colo-"We are rearing our
animals with the utmost care, but our
human beings are allowed to rear
themselves without thought" said DR..
Samuel Schmucker of Pennsylvania
Normal College in his closing lecture
to the students of the summer school
of the State Teachers College here.
I'VE must apply our knowledge of
heredity to human stock as well as
animals. Amy man who attempts to
meddle with monogamy through eu-
genics or any other means will fail.
but that does not prevent the regula-
ton OF the human product. We must
conserve the weak and MANNED of hui
man stock by so doing.
"The blight of feeble-mindedness is
hanging over humanity. This tide
must be stemmed; they must not be
allowed to bring others of their kind
into the world. We must segregate
them. with profitable labor if possible,
for life. and not for a few years.
'If modern civilization Is robbing
the people of children, better have no
civilization. 1t is the patriotic duty
of every family to rear from three to
four good, healthy, normal children"
Dr. Schmucker had been lecturing
all week on evolution, and his lee
lures contained many startling state
ments. They We're listened to with
much interest by the l,200 students.
DR.. Henry Suzzallo of the teachers

lecture this week, taking up the sub
jects Of Tradition and Reform in
Public Education and, for the first

British lay In the vicinity OF Charles
ton, and 1t was In that city that the
sessions were held. On one occasion
Hayward presided 1t the trial of some
persons charged with treason. They
were convicted Of having held CORE
spondence with the enemy and exc
cuted In full view Of the British lines.
This act. especially, led to Hey.
wards great disfavor in the eyes Of
the British. At the same time he was
Judge he held military commission
and was in active service. Command
Ing q battalion Of artillery, Hayward
and RutiedEe were together during the
defense OF Charleston. Ia one en-
counter Hayward received gunshot
wound. the scar OF which he carried
the remainder Of his life.
Although in that engagement victory
was with the Americans. Charleston
was destined to fall. Then Hayward.
like his two compatriots. was taken
prisoner and sent to st. Augustine,
where he remained a year. During his
imprisonment his plantation was raid
ed and his slaves sent to Jamaica
Some were afterward reclaimed.
Although not Intentional on the part
OF the British, the trip from st. Angus
tine to Philadelphia came near being
the means of Heyward's death. While
on the boat he In some way lost his
balance and fell overheard. Straight
way vigorous efforts were made for his
recovery, but the time consumed was
30 great that It was only By clinging
to the ships rudder that he was saved
from drowning. Upon returning home
he was still further afflicted. this time
by the loss Of his wife. So depressed
was he by all his misfortunes that It
was considerable time before he re-
gained his normal condition and was
able to fully discharge his public du-
ties.
Although never captured, John
Hart of New Jersey was nevertheless
made to feel the hatred England bore
toward all the signers Of the Decla-
ration. Honest John Hart" a. he
was called, was another one OF the
men who at the time they indorsed
the separation OF the colonies from
England had nothing material to gain
and much to lose. His farm, In Hun.
terdon county, was large, and his
home was considerated as seat of
hospitality" but so situated that, In
the event of hostilties. 1t would be
open to the ravages of the enemy.
This Mr.. Hart realized when he took
his stand, and later even more fully
appreciated. When New Jersey was
invaded by the English he was one of
the men particularly sought. His
family, by q timely and distant re-
treat from their home. were saved
personal violence, but he was forced
to seek hiding From one house to
another he went, not daring to stay
more than a single night under the
same roof While thus trying to keep
beyond the clutches Of the British his
farm was destroyed. and his stock,
which was numerous and valuable,
became the enemy's spoil. The per.
sonal safety Of himself and family was
assured only by General Washington's
successful march upon Trenton, the
capture OF the Hesslans posted there
and tho enforced retreat OF the foe.

tlon, but their families as we'll. had
become the objects Of vengeance by
the British, and also that the reduced
number Of the American army made 1t
impossible to hope for protection from
that quarter. Thirty miles from his
home, in Monmouth county. he left
his family in safety. Refusing to Inn
peril them, however. with his pres
ence. he went to reside with Nj.
Covenhoven, friend and patriot. But
. fate was against him as, through the
treachery Of some one. party Of Brit
ish refugees was informed Of his tenn
porary residence.

both Stockton and Covenhoven were
surprised and captured by this party.

he was allowed to suffer from the ex-
treme cold and want OF sufficient pro
lection. Later. when taken to New
York he was again placed in common
jail and subjected to similar treatment.
So great were his sufferings that he
contracted the disease which resulted
in his death not long afterward.
Not only the comforts, but the bare
necessities Of life were refused Stock
ton during his Imprisonment In New
York. At one time he was left with
absolutely no food for more than "a
hours. and then given some which was
SO coarse In quality, not to mention
scanty in amount, that he would have
been better OF without 1t.
Fortunately. however. word of his
treatment reached congress. A mes
sage was Immediately sent General
Howe. stating that he would either
have to treat Stockton more humanely
or expect retaliation.
Such Ill treatment as Stockton en-
dured in prison did not make up the
whole of his sunerings at the hands
of the British. While he was thus
confined his property was plundered,
his personal papers burned. and his
fine library destroyed. as we're also his
horses and cattle.

wiped out So great was his poverty
that he was forced to call upon friends
to secure the necessaries Of life for
himself and family. This state Of A.
fairs so depressed him him that his
already delicate condition was further
aggravated. and in February. 1881, he
died when but fifty-one years Of age.
