and docile and easily handled.
While in Switzerland the breed is

There would have been none but
multitudes of morons. Per contra,
to try to estimate the possibilities in
health, accomplishment and happi-
ness if the ripe" end procreation
were as general as it is rare is to daz-
zle the feeble minds of the sons of
short generations. All genius comes
through high birth rank.
The American Genetic society, stu
pifed by the radicaism of this dis
covery, doubted the contentious, but
could not disprove them. So Redfeld
sent them 5000 to reward him who
could find anywhere in history an in
stance of an Intellectually great man
having been born of a succession of
young immediate ancestors. After
nearly two years the money still is
posted. The specialists are baffled in
their speciality. .....
Let any one compare the birth
ranks of the exceptional men whom
he knows with those of the defen-
dants (taken at random) in the
cheap-criminal and delinquency
courts. Redfield says there is no ex-
ception to his index. Friends, con-
suit your resources, find an excep-

facts stand out: The majority of chill
dren are youngsters children; the
majority of people are mediocre. We
are used to assuming it to be ineVita-
BILE that fool be born each minute.
These facts corroborate Redfeld.
But among the men born of par
ents aged in the thirties or above, or
of parents whose ancestors averaged
high in birth rank, we find every in
tellectual paragon that history men
tons!
For instance, Benjamin Franklin is
adjudged the wisest American of his
day. Why not? He was "the young
est child of the youngest child for
five generations. His father was
81 years of age when he was born,
and his grandfather was 70 when his
father was born, which provided
him a birth rank that guaranteed his
intellectual primacy. .--..-.
IRedfield says we limit the family |
at the wrong end thereof. Now that's |
a rich thought, for indeed, by youth |
full breeding we are providing hordes |
of billiards to meet the kings need |
of soldiers, the capitalists need of
slaves and the clergy's need of the |
faithful. We are encouraging the |
mentally immature to beget their
like. The stupidity and physical in
trinity of kings are notorious and |
may be explained by the fact that |
primogeniture is the way to the |
throne. And can we not connect the |
fact of early reproduction with the
social workers reports that Is per |
cent of American children are de-
fectiVe? Of course.
But what if we should limit the
family at the green" end and extend
it at the ripe" end? This question
is merely rhetorical and may be an
