OUR COVER 



@ur cover this month shows the human 

 egg magnified ten times. From such a 

 single cell, apparently simple in struc- 

 ture, each of us has grown. By absorbing 

 nourishment from the mother, this cell 

 grows and divides into two, then four, 

 eight, sixteen, and so on until there are 

 millions of them, of all shapes and uses. 

 In this development, the human embryo 

 passes through several ancestral stages of 

 our race evolution, through sponge, worm, 

 fish and tadpole, for example. At one 

 time it has gill slits along its neck and 

 a tail longer than its body. 



This cover idea must be credited to the 

 delightful children's book, "Growing Up", 

 by Karl de Schweinitz, which tells them 

 the true story of sex and birth. This is 

 only one of the many clever pictures with 

 ■which it is so interestingly illustrated.
