EXAMINE rHOSE WHO WOULD MARRY, 



There is no good reason why those who wish to marry should

One of the principal reasons why parents continue to train 

 their children by old-fashioned methods of guess, hearsay and 

 superstition is that there never has been prepared and offered to 

 them any authentic, scientific literature on the subject. The old 

 hit-or-miss methods of farming and stock-raising are being given 

 up to the exclusive use of those interested in rearing children, 

 while the farmer and stockman take advantage of the methods 

 worked out for them by the trained experts, yet there is no more 

 fertile field for research and investigation today than that of the 

 home life of children. Send trained men and women into this 

 held to gather up the broken fragments of a possible science of 

 child rearing and then place their findings in condensed form 

 free of charge in the hands of all prospective parents. I can 

 think of no better and quicker way of regenerating the whole race
