Spanking Through Ages Warns Of Generational Traits
Major Leonard Darwin declared in an address at Bedford College for Women that spanking has shaped the current generation toward docility. He claimed the practice is a practical education with immediate effects and, over a million years, could yield hereditary traits making future children more tractable. He warned of the truly awful primitive boy if this has occurred across generations. The piece also notes the Douglas County commissioners moved their January meeting to January 5 and mentions four sleepers at the city jail and a note on Persian daily names.
