cago."
Mr.. Stokes says he has written his
book out Of his experiences as owner
OF the Patchen Wilkes stock farm al
Lexington and his observation OF nu-
mans. He says he realizes he throws
himself open to criticism, but feels
| that he must help ''to lead my coun-
/ trvrnen to a vision Of the need OF
Breeding better men and better WON

Engs and detectives and the breeding

! the saving of our country from mora

! He pleads that IAN this has been
idone in the horse family and can just
/: ~ easily be done in the human. II
p; tizinktnx people will give heed" Some
| people try to raise children, he says;
Aothers, who know their business
breed them. The average man Is do
ing nothing to improve his race. "Ht
odds to the numbers only. They are
lso far as eugenics is concerned, sim
ply drones in the human beehive"
ANOTHER paragraph says: There Il
limo reason why, by jud1ctous crossing
and breeding, you cannot produce {
Eboy OF IL who win have the eam'
mental and physical development of I
tyuunx man Of 20 today. We hav'
Edone this in the horse and we can d.
it IN the human, but 1t will take iron
tffteen5to twenty times the amount o
Etime."
Mr. Stokes would, for the present a
least, cut out Of our public school,
and colleges ''the dead languages
such as Latin. Greek, Sanscrit AM
Hebrew, also music and dancing am
in their place teach, first, American
patriotism, then the laws Of heredit,
and hygiene.
Nothing is better known to tn
horse breeder" he says, than If yo1
breed to fool horses you will get foo
horses, but If Intelligent horses ar
mated Intelligent foals result Thi
same law applies with equal accurac
to human heredity. Neither brain
nor water will rise higher than thei
source. To expect to produce a grea
or eminent man from the medtocr
strata OF the race Is as foolish as t
expect to secure worlds champion
troter from the mating Of scru
horses"
Mr.. Stokes thinks that classes {
human beings should be registere
just as classes of horses are. Their
should be a registry for the laborin
classes, who would breed $50 tina
their actual value will be known t
themselves, the public and their pros
pectfve wives, and the amount of la
Dor they are able to perform can b
estimated and they be paid accord
ingly." He exclaims:
What an incentive this will be t
elevate and improve the breed Of tn
1aboring class. This will do away wit
Che crying need Of labor unions, flo
walking delegates, business agent
and bomb throwers to protect tn
