GRAY" NOT WANTED SAYS
SANANT

Word comes from Sydney, New
South Wales that Prof. Bateson, the
biologist in his presidential address
to the British Association, spoke on
heredity and the races of men.
1t has been declared, he said, that
men were born equal and that in
equality was brought about by unequal
opportunities. The pedigree OF disease
showed the faulty Of such fancies.
From the population of any ordinary
English town as many human breeds
could be isolated as there were now
breeds of dogs. Indeed, such a popu-
lation in its present state was much
what the dogs of Europe would be in
ten years time but for the inter-
ference OF dog fanciers.
Heredity being strict in its action,
the consequences in civilized countries
were much what they would be in the
kennels Of the dog breeder who con-
tinued to preserve all his puppies,
good and bad; the proportion of
effectiveness increased. Outside every
great city there was a smaller town
inhabited by detectives. Round Lon
don there was ring of such towns,
with some 10000 inhabitants, of
whom $4,000 were detectives, largely
descended from previous generations
OF detectives.
The remedies proposed in America,
which aimed at eugenic marriage,
