WAR Babies" Finest Children
Declares Noted French SdVdnt

of a child, every mother was sought
out and, if she needed assistance,
she got it, while mothers were pre-
vailed upon more than ever be-
fore to nurse their own children;
in consequence the war generation
will be a rugged one.
Large families are o found
among the thoughtful and prudent, '
Prof. Rinard points out Us proof
that restriction of birtu5 is the re
suit of reflection. They are only
among those who do not think,
permit them to neglect prudence, or
among thaose who do not think,
who live from day to day, from hama
to mouth. and never worry about
the future. Prudence-embracing
economy native quality in the
French character, carried to en-
cess, is. if not the only cause, the
most potent influence in the re-
striction of births.
The regretted General Gallieni,
VIM ltdllLCu inc udASSl anu NdS Il
man of action, succeeded by mere
administrative measures in obtaining
a like result in Madagascar when
he was governor general of that
colony. In 1900 there were 3S
births per 1000 inhabitants there;
they rose to As in 1901, to AZ in
1902 and to 81 in 1908. Parlia-
mentary action on such questions is
slow; ii required some momentous
event such as the present war to
stir every mind to the necessity of
action.
The bringing up of children in
public institutions is a failure" Pro-
fessor Pinard declares. France will
repeople itself only through the
family. That systems which separ-
ate the mother from her offspring
are defective is proven by the re-
port of DR.. D%rouineau on 100000
children confided to the Assistance
Publique, of whom only a third
were brought to manhood.
Instead of substituting itself for
the mother, charity-or common
justice-must enable the mother to
raise her own child properly"

profigacy of ministers sons Forty
years ago his father, a aBptist
preacher, needing the call of the
west, removed with his family from
Milledgeville tho birthplace of Doc
tor Brooks, and the sometime cap
ital of Georgia, to Johnson county,
Texas. OF his subsequent distin-
guished heir the fcther was wont to
say: Palmer will venture" Per-
haps the young fellow, who finding
no royal road to learning, construct
ed one with pick and shovel, came
naturally by his audacity; for in the
COS and 70's it was deemed no in
considerable undertaking to journey
from Georgia to Texas
In the new country the young fell
low found but little opportunity for
learning what is in books. Schools
were few and far between, and the
pecuniary compensation of his faith
er's ministry did not suffice to fur
nish the leisure and advantages that
may come with wealth. 1t was a
hard struggle--one either to sub
merged to mediocrity o rto elevate
to distinction; and the grim faced
youth determined to make it the lat
ter alternative. While toiling at
10 ell nd hot 70 az
ng necessities for the home, he
dreamed a dream. He would devel-
OPP his capabilities to the utmost; he
would take his place with those who
largely serve. At first he thought
TO fit himself for the practice OF
medicine. A neighbor physician
generously offered to lend him such
books as he most needed, and with
these tucked under his arm, the
youthful aspirant to medical ca
reer trudged proudly home-his
tell, siney figure presenting a pic
ture not unlike that of another
young fellow who some years before,
up in Illinois, borrowed law books
from which he was to acquire knowl-
edge ,afterward to be used in a ma
tons crisis
But the medical books were filed
with strange words and phrases that
perplexed to bafflement. Young
Brooks saw that he was attempting
