From Him we know all blessings come
How thankful We should be also

ton of detectives may be controlled
by the education Of parents so that
they will endeavor to prevent un-

of defective families; legislation

render detectives incapable of pro-

Gregor Mendel, peasant boy, monk
and abbot of Brunn, an experiment
tai botanist whose work IN his clois-
ter garden laid the foundation Of
that exact knowledge of heredity
which is now being extended in
many directions, was born July 22,
1922.
He died in 1882. Eighteen years
later began the appreciation of his
labors. His doctrines, which are
called Mendelism, form the scientific
basis of the science of Eugenics,
"The science of being well born" p"
Mendel's work made it possible for
us to predict with precision whether
good or bad traits will or will not
appear in future offspring and to
forecast with mathematical accu-
racy the proportion in which certain
