murder OF a wealthy neighbor.
Those social students who emphasize heredity as
a controlling dominating factor in life would
probably shake their heads in disnay over the
probable fate OF this babe, born in prison with
its parents condemned for life

Not the hrmest believers in heredity nor
those who are Aghting hardest for laws to control

babe TO a life OF crime
There are homes ready to open for this child
when the officials consent homes in which her
baby smiles will be by real notherly
kisses homes which will never All her childish
mind with memories OF prison stripes or her little
nostrils with the smells of cells
Education the highest order may be hers She
will be protected from temptation She will be

will be directed TO the fine and bright things Of
life. She will walk the hard path of drudgery
and neglect and bitter struggle which led her
mother to the barred windows Of a prison
