Her Father’s Daughter

CHAPTER XII
11/32

If the homemakers of this country don't get the idea into their heads pretty soon that they are not going to be able to hold their own with the rest of the world, with no children, or one child in the family, there's a sad day of reckoning coming.

With the records at the patent office open to the world, you can't claim that the brain of the white man is not constructive.

You can look at our records and compare them with those of countries ages and ages older than we are, which never discovered the beauties of a Dover egg-beater or a washing machine or a churn or a railroad or a steamboat or a bridge.

We are head and shoulders above other nations in invention, and just as fast as possible, we are falling behind in the birth rate.

The red man and the yellow man and the brown man and the black man can look at our egg-beaters and washing machines and bridges and big guns, and go home and copy them; and use them while rearing even bigger families than they have now.
