There is a good woman who seek
eth every now and again a ne"
Tail for her Kite, and among the
last of these Appendages Is the Sci
ence of Eugenics.
And she came to see Keturah,
and besought her that h would
bring Safed and hear a Famous Wo-
man Lecturer on Eugenics.
And she said, Safed will not be
disturbed if there be no other men
And we went, I and Keturah. and
I sat back, but / saw and heard
all that was said and done.
And the lecturer told how many
Defective children were born, and
how many Morons were born, and
how many children were reared in
U~nwholesome Surroundings, and
how the world was on the Tobog-
gan because no one had known the
Science of Eugenics. And L am
afraid that most that she said was
true.
And the women sat around her,
and listened with all their ears and
felt the importance Of what she
said.
And as we went away, Keturah
inquired of me, saying. What didst
thou think of it?
And l said. 1t was a fine example
of the waste of Good Stuff on peo-
Pile who have no need OF 1t; and
Furthermore, it dealt with but one
aspect of the question and that was
Negative.
And I said, I hope the recording

to the lecturer. For a majority OF
those women were unmarried, a
quite unlikely to marry. And a ma
jority of the others were widows
and likely to remain widows. n a
majority of the others were mar.
ried and childless and some OF
them more likely to remain chlldiess
than to remain married.
And as for the rest they averaged
about three-quartersN of a child
apiece. and that fraction was a
Puny and Badly Pampered Frac-
ton. And I mentally applauded
the heroic resolution of that Whole
Bunch that they would do nothing
to add to the number of badly porn,
children. And I said, But thou
Keturah, who knowest mighty little
about Eugenics, hast practlced IT IN
the positive way. For thou a
given to the world Five Strong,
Healthy children, and these have
married other five, and unto These
God hath given other children.
Thou art the mother of more good.
wholesome, promising American
manhood and womanhood than that
entire Bunch.
And Keturah said, Nay, I know
very little. l have hardly under
stood before the meaning Of the
word Eugenics.
And l said, There is too much OF
our preaching which stoppeth with
telling what ought not to be done.
There ought to be fewer defective
and poorly born children, but there
also is need of good, strong and we'll
born children. And thy Eugenics
has been Of the Constructive sort.
