I live for those who love mo, Whoho honrlH are Iclud nnd truo; For the henvous that smile above mo, And await my spirit loo; I'or all human Hum that bind me, For tho tanlc that Clod tiKslgnoil mo, For the bright hope loft behind mo, And the good that 1 can do. the birth rate, but without that all that could possibly be said or done would accomplish little or nothing." said Joseph Leo of the Hostou school committee, prosldont of the Play ground Association of Amorlca. "There could no moro dangerous condition exist In a country than that of poor and Ignorant families with large families and educated families with small families," snld C. C. Carstens, Bocrctnry of tho Mas sachusetts Society for the Preven tion of Cruelty of Children. Dr. John Lovott Morse The real muse of Infant mortality Is that people have children when they know before the children are borli Hint they cannot afford to take prop er care of them. There are two re medies to take bettor care of the children when they come and dis courage tlie high birth rate among i the poor. Mrs. Susan Y. Fltsgerald I am not In favor of oxtravagautly large families. Mrs. Pnrmeuter, president of thu i Waltham Women's club I believe that the rich peoplo should have more children mid the poor people less. Present conditions are pitiable. "Hy all means I favor large fnni IIIor," snld Mrs. .lulla Duff, a well known Chnrlestown educator. "The larger the family the more glorious the result. That Is proved by the brilliant people we llnd In tho larger and poorer families. I hellovo the death rate In the small families Is greater than In the larger families. Chlldrou In the turgor families are nursed by tho mother. That's tho na tural way and they llvo longer. It Is In the largo families that tho fu ture of the country Ilea." Hi'tirntln. a prominent clubwoman with three children, who believes big families should be discouraged, runs the gamut of opinion on Dr. Eliot's statement. "It Is the duty of every wife to raise a big family," declared Mrs. Dunne. "Hlg families are tho greatest curse of this country today," said Mrs. John F. Thompson, president of tho Social Economics club, who has flvo children. "There are too many big families which are larger than 'tho parents can caro for. 1 don't bollove In hlg families. Anyway, Dr. Kllot Is talking about something which neither he nor anyone else has nny power to regulate." Quality moro thnn quantity Is the motto of Mrs. Frederick Lorcnz, vice; president of the Chicago Womnn'sl club nnd mother of three children.: "More attention should be paid to the kind of children and their care rather than the number," she said. Mrs. L. A. Ulshop, vice president of tho Political Kquallty league, be lieves the more the better. "Hut why should Dr. Kllot put a limit or an nverage of six If one can have twelve?" She asked. "A woman can do no moio good In the world that tho bringing of children Into lit." Mrs. Hlahop lm three children. childhood they had lived blameless ' v t0 hmrn tl,,,lr B,"r' llvofi.

There nro two forms of death that liro filled with splendor: Ono Is that' of tho faithful soldier that for his country gives iih his life under a bnt- lln's rnnniiv! the oilier: Mint of n faithful priest who through love, for Aml "vor' w,onK U'l"f ,rlK!,1te,dl 'Ood nnd love for his fellow men, do votes nil tho energies of his life to Who suffered for my sake, To emulate tholr glory And follow In tholr wako, Hards, patrlotH, martyrs, sages, The noble of all ages, Whoso deeds crown history's pages, And Time's groat volume ninko, I live to ball that season, Hy gifted minds forotold, When men shall llvo by reason, And not alone by gold; When man to man united, i'ho whole world shall bo lighted i As I'd en wns of old.

The average American working man, In her opinion, has lusulllclunt ono man to tell another how earning capacity to fluunco nn addi tion to bis family every two years. "I would nt present lny moro stress on tlie huttormunt of tho condition of tho American worktugmnn than on nn increase In the size of his fam ily." said Mrs. Whiting, Mrs. Whit ing sees no objection to thoso In comfortable circumstances having the number of children President Kllot suggests or as many moro as they want.

Dr. Ida (1.
