40623The question then is being anxiously asked:"What are the conditions which assure the finest quality in our children?"

28812And do you mean, mamma, that honey in the plants grows into love in the animals?
28812And does the mother- woman warm the eggs as the bird in the nest does, mamma, while the papa- man brings her nice things to eat?
28812And the birds, mamma, have they stamens, and eggs inside? 28812 And would n''t the seeds grow, or the little plants come up, if the bee had n''t gone to the flowers, mamma?"
28812But if he carried it away how could it get into the flower''s ovary?
28812But in reality he did a great deal, for he-- what shall I say-- married? 28812 But, mamma,"she asked,"why should the bee wish to see my nose, even if he did think it might be a flower?
28812But, then, mamma, who could tell which was the father or mother, and which was the child? 28812 But,"she continued, her bright eyes eagerly turned on her mother''s face,"we do n''t eat the buttercup, mamma, do we?"
28812Do you think you can remember all that, darling?
28812I wish to find out where I came from, and you are going to tell me that, are n''t you?
28812Oh yes-- and would that have been right?
28812Oh, then force or growth was the first stamen, mamma?
28812Out of what?
28812Well, then, does every male animal have a stamen and every female an ovary?
28812What is it, mamma?
28812What is that, mamma?
28812What, was Old Croaky ever a little tadpole, mumsey?
28812Why, mamma, is there a father too?
28812Would I die, and you, mamma, and all of us-- Alice and Rosie, and, oh, everybody we know?
28812Yes, darling, but do you see any honey here?
28812Yes, dear, in order to reproduce their kind they must have-- why?
28812You were going to say the bee, were n''t you?
28812And do you wish me to remember that name too?"
28812And how can a bee possibly marry them?"
28812And what do you suppose happened?"
28812But what would happen then?
28812But why did he go to the other flower-- didn''t he get all he wanted from this one?"
28812Can you guess what it is?"
28812Do bees eat flowers, mamma?"
28812Do n''t you think now that what the bee did was quite an important matter, even if it did seem so trivial?"
28812Do we rear our children as we should?
28812Do you think you understand all this, darling, and can remember it?"
28812For do n''t you recall that this cell, which was the first life- form, was produced by the sun shining on the earth or sea?"
28812How is sexual instruction given now?
28812Is it not healthful, logical, common sense?
28812Is it not the wholesome and right and proper view?
28812Is it, mamma?"
28812Is n''t that what you said before, mamma?"
28812Is not this reason?
28812Is that plain so far, dearie?"
28812It is plain enough, and easy enough to do, is n''t it darling-- and you will always remember about it, wo n''t you?"
28812Now what do you suppose happens?"
28812Now, suppose you count those flattened, round- cornered parts of the buttercup-- how many are there?"
28812Of course you ca n''t think how it did that, can you, dear?"
28812Or were they just brother and sister, or two brothers?"
28812She thought a moment, then,"Could he marry my nose to anything?"
28812So the name of this one is-- what?"
28812That has an ovary, and every male plant has a stamen, and I think you said that they must have, did n''t you?"
28812That must have been very, very long ago, was n''t it?"
28812The fact is recognized, but is the duty fulfilled?
28812The little baby buttercups would begin to grow right away, mamma?"
28812Then she asked:"What did the bee want to see my nose for, mamma?"
28812Why do you say they marry?
28812With a certain kind of help they can and do grow, and what do you suppose that help is?"
