EVAvE you ever watched the development
of a butterfly? If you have, you must
- often have compared the emergence Of
the moth from its cocoon to the gradual process
of growth in human beings. Both are natural
phenomena deserving of note. But ask any
young man in love which is the more interesting!
There is a drabness about the moth that is
not discernible in the sweet girl of fifteen. She
found her gaudily painted wings. In her cocoon,
she is a petulant child, victim OF every whim

to recite to you what a writer says about it.

Civilization is q rather difficult term to

condition of an orderly society in which the OBJ
~jectives, ministering to health and happiness, are
within the reach of practically the entire popu-

Then, TO make sure he is understood, the writer
continues: "A civilized government is primarily

its best maintenance under given conditions of
health and physical efficiency"
