The Future of Evolution
By Stanton A. Coblensz

THE DIRECTION OF HUMAN EvoIu-
Ton lion. BY Edwin Grant conkiin.
n YER since the appearance Of
I'D the "origin Of Species the
Evolutionary concept has been
fastening itself more firmly
upon modern thought. This is true,
despite the recent theological opposi-
ton to the theory, for, as Professor
Sonklin states in the new edition Of
ms book, evolution has been finding
1Tesn support constantly rs knowledge
advances. It is now universally &C.
cepted by men Of science. and the So
called religious arguments against It
are fruits OF the same ignorance as
forced Galileo, under penalty OF tor
ture, to deny that the earth moves.
AS proof OF the rapidity and thorough
ness with which evolution has been en-
trenching itself, we need only recall
that at first 1t was applied TO biology
only, and that its study was originally
confined to past events; that Of later
wears. 1t has come to be extended from
the biological to the purely human. or
social. and that we have begun not
only to trace its course in the past but
to foretell its operation in the future.
The latter tendency Is strikingly In
evidence in Professor Conklin's latest
volume, a clearly reasoned and illu-
minating work wherein the author en-
deavors by scientific analogy to OUT
line the probable future Of mankind. At
the outset Professor Conklin emphs-
sizes the fact that mankind as it exists
to-day is the product Of prodigiously
long process Of evolution. commencing
with the one-celled animal and uass-
ing through countless ages and innu-
merable species until finally human
creature is born, which itself evolves
for perhaps million of more years
before giving birth to the man Of the
present. In view of these facts, the
author insists, we must take "the long
view Of the human race" We must re-
member that any seeming reversals in
the tide Of evolution. involving even
a. generation or two, are but eddies in
the current. The broad stream must
flow on interminably unimpeded, as It
has flowed almost interminably in the

The New Italy

MODERN ITALY. BY Tommaso Tittoni.
The Macmillan Company.
D@ HIS book is valuable for it's
presentation Of the views of
an Italian regarding modern
Italy. The author, leading
Italian statesman, endeavors to include
q comprehensive survey of all the ac-
tivities of his fellow countrymen, from
painting to philosophy, from poetry to
jurisprudence. He devotes a chapter
to Italy's contribution to international
law, another to her economic problems,
another to her labor question and yet
another to her national budget, and, as
q result of covering so many fields, and
all in volume of some 200 odd pages,
he is necessarily cursory and sketchy
in his method.
Perhaps the most instructive chapter
is that which deals with the immigra-
tion problem; the author maintains
without restriction, that men who are
employed in Italy will never immigrate
and that even the unemployed ordin-
arily cross the seas only in response
to definite demand.
For emigration, Mr.. Tittoni would
have us believe. is as natural as the
fight of birds, and in deliberately
limiting it we are meddling with one
of the laws of nature, or, at least, with
an economic law that we cannot tamper
with without serious danger
Only through unrestricted inmigra.
tion, the author contends, can be created
a condition that will "conduce to the
re- establishment of normality of labor
and of production in every country,
and to wider exchange of goods and
thus insure greater supply of the
necessaries of life" S. A.. C.

past. Accordingly, even the catastss
phe OF q world war must not cause u1
TO despair of human progress. The
process of evolution has been too long,
too vast to be 1ullifed by what frera.
the point of view Of the race is os.y y
momentary setback.
Yet within every race of mankind
there are factors operating for the
survival OF the fittest. The best
adapted tribe, as the best adapted in
dividual, Is the one likely to endure:
not the one with the highest artificial
standards, but the one that conforms
most nearly TO natural law. "In the
long run supremacy will pass in every
community, nation or race to the more
intelligent, the more capable, the more
ethical. rather than to the best livers."
Consequently, our attention should be
centered upon raising the standards
OF heredity, Of education and of social
ideals rather than upon standards of
living"
But Professor Conkiin does not be-
lieve that, even with maximum OF
artificial attention, any OF the races OF
mankind will long remain iGtact. eft
needs only the vision that will look
forward a few thousand years." he
says, "to Gee the blending of all racial
currents IN common stream" Laws
and customs may delay but cannot
avert this event, which is inevitable
now that geographical isolation Is be-
ing abolished. Yet Professor Conkiin
does not view the situation with
alarm; he does not believe that the
mingling of the races will mean the
deterioration of mankind, but that the
one race Of the future will In every
way be about the average of the races
of to-day. But if the author does not
predict an inferior race, neither does
he anticipate vastly superior one:
he regards the "superman" as a bio
logical impossibility.
However, this does not mean that
humanity will not continue to evolve.
But we may expect it to advance by
the new process "of annexing to its
own powers the illimitable forces OF
the universe"-a path of progress that
