more millions are in prospect.
The need for fine national high

1t is her idea that the important thing
is to acquaint the parents with the
gravity of the matter and to train
them how to present the facts to chill
dren. Miss Stephens is of the opinion
that the opposition to school instruc-
ton in this subject is so great at the
present time as to render doing much
with the matter impossible in the
schools, but she feels that much may
be accomplished through parent
teacher associations and similar or
CARNATIONS.
Mr.. W~odsedalek, whose subject was
Feeblemindedness, explained at some
length the Mendelian law of heredity
and used charts in illustration. He
pointed out that there were more than
a million persons of low mentality in
the United States in 1910. Such in
dividuals are even more prolific than
normal beings and the carrying Of
faint in the blood is inevitable. Every
effort, said Mr.. Wodsedalek, should
be put forth to prevent these mental
detectives from reproducing, and i'm
migration laws should be amended so
as to keep out persons whose ances-
is tainted.

that it is absolutely essential that the
