Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Future Citizen Through all ages the great effort has been, after the arrival of the boy on the stage of existence, to train him into a good citizen and prepare him to be a better angel in the future life. The very first child on earth, according to Genesis, went violently wrong, and the weakness of the flesh he displayed is still the inheritance of all men. The problem of the soul, that has been the concern of the church and the state and the home since Adam, whom God thrust out into poor environments as a curse for disobedience, and forced on him thereby the necessity of sweating for a living, is still an unsolved problem. However, it is self-evident that frail, feeble, insufficient man, needing help and guidance himself, cannot solve it. The problem is less difficult of solution, it seems in a general survey, if the destiny of the child is prearranged before its birth, - that is to say, a better, higher, happier, holy destiny; - a matter that is quite possible for man to do. Necessity Of Repeating Information It seems in this our day that with all sorts of literature put before everybody, they know all about this question, and that they who do not know it do not want to know it, to be sure, and so any more said upon the question is the work of superfluous zeal and therefore unnecessary.
