reading in the Sentinel the statement that better Scientists were needed more than numbers, the questions came: Are you meeting this demand upon you?
Probably
nine-tenths of the people in the civilized world regard children as so many little animals, embryomen and women, dependents to be fed and clothed, kissed and petted, but standing on a very different plane—a lower one, too—than themselves.
