Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

Bachelors’ Theses

The one vital f act that is really the greatest concern of society regarding illegitimacy, is the illegitimate child; a child that is fashioned the same as the rest of us; that bears no mark of nature's ill favor; that develops according to all the biological and psychological laws that control humanity in general, giving no more and no less response to ill treatment; reacting viciously only according to the same causes that operate in general. A society that does not properly care for this individual, born or unborn, callously sins against its own moral and physical welfare.
