Thus Professor Herman Lundborg.
head of the Race Biological Institute of
the old Swedish university at Upsala,
sets forth the convictions created by a
lifetime of study. And he sets up an in
teresting case for his contention.
Material prosperity. says the distin-
guished scholar invariably brings the
gradual elimination of the good old mid
die class. and in any country this is
sure sign of inevitable decay. And he
goes on:
Experience. past as well as present,
shows that when wealth is suddenly in
creased it brings endless new needs.
Luxuries are demanded. lassitude sets in
and the interest in work and production
falls off. Women begin to avoid ma

destroy the race. Thus they are as
much menace to a country as a power

The argument is not new one. nor
is there general inclination to deny the
correctness of Professor LANDLORDS as
The chances are that the
Swedish savant is altogether correct in
his conclusions, The fact of the matter
is that most people do not care as much
about the future of the race as they do
about present comfort for themselves and
