We hear less sentimental talk about

time. The maternal instinct may
move a mother to a certain sort of
protection of her child, d survival of
the primal instinct which nature pro-
vided for the perpetuation Of the
species, but the higher form, mother
love, is that which moves her to an
intelligent anxiety in regard to it's
care, and which, taking no account OF
personal sacrifice, leads her to desire

development Her disposition in this
