which it seems probable the govern
ment will sanction is the following:
Every .hild born to an unmarried
woD~ will take the name Of the
me- Ter. The city already pays all the
expenses at birth. After that the
mothers will be given from l 10 3
marks a day toward the cost Of caring
for feeding the infant. As the
child gets older it will be supported by
the State until it is old enough 10 20
to work Its education in the public
schools will be entirely at the govern
ment's expense. After it is II years
of age it will have an opportunity of
learning a trade or some kind Of bust
ness at the governments expense.
The reason the birth rate OF illegiti-
mate children is constantly increasing
is because the government indirectly
encourages. especially the working
girls. TO believe that it is their duty
to the fatherland TO recreate thu race.
Married women are encouraged in III"
same way.
