Gregor Mendel, peasant boy, monk
and abbot of Brunn, an experimen- ?
tal botanist whose work in his clois- c
ter garden laid the foundation of s
that exact knowledge of heredity i
which is now being extended in
many directions, was born July 22, J
j?; 1822. ,
He died in 1882. Eighteen years 1
later began the appreciation of his j
labors. His doctrines, which are <
called Mendelism, form the scientific j
basis of the science of Eugenics, ]
"The science of being well born." <
Mendel's work made it possible for
us to predict with precision whether i
good or bad traits will or will not j
appear in future offspring and to j
forecast vbith mathematical accu- (

re- the importance of Mendel's work to S
the public health and public pocket ^
!jlic book is readily seen. ^
ong The prevention of the propaga- ^
tion of defectives may be controlled
in" by the education of parents so that
*ns they will endeavor to prevent a un- ^
1.on ion of their children with children <
in" of defective families; legislation ^
, requiring a medical certificate of n
her .i.i : .?
parties applying iui mtunagc *i- _
censes, and surgery which aims to c
render defectives incapable of pro- ?
1 e creating. Indiana, Wisconsin and ^
a.ne California have laws permitting such
in- ,. c
operations.
The segregation of defectives has j
0 not proven practicable; in fact in .

nck their number.
Mendel's experiments were < made

ng' to mankind but to all of the lower

to the public health worker,
the botanist and the agriculturist.
WHAT HOME SHOULD BE.
? .
} .j|: (York News.)
Home should be made the most inr
!|; teresting and best loved spot on
>\\ earth, not merely four square walls
r of wood and brick. It should be the .
' fountain of civilization, the very
! :j: word should touch every fibre of the
^ I;! soul, and strike every chord of the
human heart with its angelic fingers
1 ||; a place where things are centralized
' on the higher and better things of
1 fife, bringing forth in the highways ;
' :j: and byways an influence that will be
: felt by all with whom it comes in ]
| 'jj! contact. It should be a place where /
; ;|; the heart is, a place where angels
l |;j unfold their* wings, the place we
* ;!; love best, because it is the place
; i where mother is. Man can build a
i ; |; house and roof it so as to withstand
ff?e storms and the elements, but
man with alt his genius and artisan
| 8 science cannot make the home; that
, ;j: ever was and ever will be the task
J; of woman. It is she alone who can
i : |: bring it to warmth and beauty. Here
1 jj; she reigns supreme.
