subject TO many OF the evils his
civilization imposes upon them, live

attaining maturity than does man.
IL takes man. TO be exact, about %
years to attain his full maturity.
Thirty.five years is the average life
of man today. Thus. he has very

Is required for their development.
Even the humble gosling which Is
