Show BIG FAMILIES THE BEST. Flank Beck, of The Holton Recprder. hasUined up on the side of President Roosevelt in the big-family controversy, contro-versy, and raises a new point to justify his position. "If the opposition will investigate in-vestigate the matter just a little it will find that nine out ten of the 'great men and women of this country have been members of large families. And if it will carry the investigation a little further, it will discover that as a rule where there are only two or three in the. family they become spoiled and selfish and seldom amount to muchJ The more education you give a spoiled, selfish boy the worse you make him, unless he can in some way overcome his selfishness. We will leave it to any of our observing, intelligent readers if among' their acquaintances the best of boys and girls are not as a rule the members of large familtiee." Kansas City Journal. |
