siders that any class of people must
have on the average four children
per family merely to keep its num-
Der constant from generation to
generation.
So far as / am aware, no attempt
has ever been made to investigate
the conditions in the colleges of the
South. Are the best families of the
South gradually committing suicide
by sending their sons and daughters
to college? Family suicide is ter
rible price to pay for college educa-
ton. If the Southern College is. hav-
ing this effect on it's students, the
causes of this evil should be dis
covered and remedied. Collegiate
education and parenthood should not
be antagonistic to one another.
Since college mans or woman's
views on marriage and parenthood
largely determine their future con-
duct, it is important to know what
college people think on these mat
tiers. The writer intends to mail a
QUESTIONABLE in few days to each
student in the University, request
ing that it be filled out by the stu
dents In the University and re-
turned to me by mail. No
one is expected to sign his or her
name to this paper. Therefore no
one need fear that the ideas express
ed will ever be known to any one
else.
One part of the QUESTIONABLE is
designed to discover what constitutes
the ideal University of Mississippi
bride and groom. A list of per-
sonal characteristics will be given,
and each student is to indicate the
relative importance he attaches to
each. of these characteristics. He
will designate the characteristic he
considers most important by a."
the next most important by g." the
third by "3'', and so on through the
whole list. A mathematical analy-
sis of the data will furnish an ap-
proximate description of the ideal
Mississippi husband and wife.
| If the purposes of the question
naire, or the method of filing it out
are not clear, the writer or any of
his students in Biology will be glad
to furnish information.
A careless or frivolous attitude
toward the investigation on the part
of the University students will make
it valueless. l earnestly REQUEST
EVERY STUDENT TO COOP
ERATE WITH ME- TO THE BEST
OF HIS OR HER ABILITY IN
FILLING OUT THE QUESTION
MARE. -.
Sincerely yours,
H. r. HUNT.

Contradiction In Berlin.

Fats, oils, clothes, milk for babies
and other necessities are scarce In
Berlin, and SO high-priced that the
poorer people can hardly afford them
at all; yet the shop windows along
Inter den Linden are full Of beautiful
goods.
Housing conditions pinch despite the
fact that Berlin and other cities have
less population than before the war.
Every candy store window in Berlin
has a crowd before 1t all day long.
Adults, as well as children, stand and
stare at the displays Of sweets.
Moyies-most Of them immoral-are
always crowded. Twelve new moving
picture houses are to be erected. The
most popular firms are those ION the
ragged edge"
Theaters are crowded, and SO is the
opera, as rule.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT.
Questionnaire TO Be Sent Student

To The Editor of the Mississippian,
The writer asks the privilege OF
placing before the student body Of
the University few facts regard
ing biological and sociological
problem of great Importance to us
and to future generations. Briefly
stated, the question is this Does
a collegiate education tend to dis
courage marriage and the rearing
of children :"
The role of heredity in the pro-
duction Of able. men and women
must be understood to appreciate
the full significance of the answer to
this question. Southern people have
long recognized the fact that .abili-
ty tends to run in families.
Likewise menal weakness is often
inherited as is shown by the histo-
ries of the notorious luke and Kali
kak families. Generation after
generation these families have been
largely composed Of lunatics, paup-
ers, prostitutes, feeble-minded per-
sons, and criminals, though their
environment has been no worse, on
the average, than that Of respectable
families. The members of these
families inherited their mental and
moral weakness from ancestors SIM
ilarly defective.
The history Of the family of JON
athan Edwards exhibits the other
and brighter, side of the picture
Edwards came from that mentally
morally, and physically vigorous ole
English stock which preferred te
face the dangers of inclement ano
hostile shores rather than submit tc
religious persecution. In 1900 Ed.
wards descendants numbered 1894
They are college presidents, physic.
ians, clergymen, army and navy of.
ficers, authors, judges, congressman
in short leaders. Ability surely
seems to have been inherited by
most of the descendants of Edwards
The studies of Francis Cation ir
England, and of Frederick Adams
Woods in this country show thai
great men are far more frequently

TGet Wert resolving that II they could
help it It would not put its lash upon
their children. They knew poverty
Intimately. It wasn't word, a name,
1t was living hateful. cruel compan-
ion. It was the devil that recruited
the Marys Of Scarlet Hall. the Magda-
lens OF the slums, and always the
army was modified from the shanties
of the poor. Children who had been
robbed Of their youth, who had never
owned a flower, poorly fed and mis-
erably clad, dragged out Of bed by
alarm clocks, sounding the call to toll,
when they should have been answer
ing the school bell. children physical
ly unfit for the breadwinner's strug-
gle. children without the moral en-
durance necessary for the fight, were
driven into No Woman's land, the
rotten scum under the world.
Light In Education.
Before the war men were brooding
on these things. papers. books. maya
zines mirroring life, pictured these
horrors. They were the subject of
public discussion and debate. Men re-
turning from hard days work talked
these things over with their wives aft
er the children had gone to bed, and
many man left his supper table to
peek through the half-closed door into
the room where his Riddles were Sleep
ing, tiptoeing back, only to look into
the eyes of mother, and see reflected
there the fears he felt.
The invention of the typesetting ma
chine, the cheap manufacture of paper,
the growth of public school systems,
and public Libraries, brought light to
the dark minds of the wOrkmen. In
that light they saw more clearly their
needs and more completely realized
their rights. 1t is the natural ambition
of man to climb. He wants to get on
and up. Ignorance had kept him from
climbing. Ignorance Is darkness. Men
stumble when they try to go forward
in the dark. Education is the light In
the road. They sought to make haste,
to make up for the lost time. Education
taught them to want things for them
selves and their families that their
fathers and mothers never thought of
wanting. The homes which satisfied
their parents depressed and irritated
them. The bathtub and tooth brush are
acquired habits. The desire to straight
en- the back that has been bent In toll
too long, is put there by education.
One thing stood in the way-it OBJ
structed the path upward to decent
living. They saw the barrier clearly
and distinctly-poverty. They saw this
impossible obstacle was made out OF
poor wages. They saw more. They saw
that poor wages built the poorhouses
and filed them, organized the bread
lines, introduced the soup house. Out
of their thoughts, in their experience,
they carved truth, "As long as some
people have more than they can pos
sibly use, while others through no
fault of their own have less than they
absolutely need, something Is wrong
and when the call to arms came these
thoughts were living In the mass mind
of the world. Many not concerned with
the problem of the other seven-eighths,
knowing nothing of what was happen
ing In the minds Of the men and
women of toll, and caring less. they
did not know that these men were
uniting and planning to tear down the
wall of poverty.

It is to he hoped the horrible story of the burning alive of the czarina of Russia and her family is untrue. So many tales have been told of the dis pOsal ot the czar and the imperial fam fly that one Is not more entitled to credence than the other and, especial ly are the tales of murder to be doubt ed which offer as part proof the fact of jewels being found with parts of human bodies. Such men as the mur- derers are represented would never leave jewels lying about to tell tbe awful tale. It now seems likely that the real mystery of the unfortunate ROmanOffs will never be solved.
