[2] The author wishes that this were literally true, for he believes that no great man or great woman ever was born from a mother with a painted face, dyed lips, false hair, and a body pitifully distorted by ungracefully ambling about in high heeled shoes. The power of suggestion is so great in its influence on the plastic mind of youth that a mother who is little else than a perambulating falsehood will leave descendants wanting in many if not all of the attributes of manly and womanly virtues.

TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE Some Charts and Figures have been moved to be closer to the text paragraph they illustrate. The very large wide multi-page table on relative humidity on pages 69, 70 and 71 has been split into seven parts to keep the width under 75 characters. The wide tables on pages 262, 263 and 264 have each been split into two parts. Obvious typographical errors and punctuation errors have been corrected after careful comparison with other occurrences within the text and consultation of external sources. Some hyphens in words have been silently removed, some added, when a predominant preference was found in the original book. Except for those changes noted below, all misspellings in the text, and inconsistent or archaic usage, have been retained.
