BY an interningling of several sub
races this sixth SUFFRAGE, the new
race type, is now developing. which
is called in the diagram the Austral-
American. 1t is now IN process of
formation in the United States and
Australia especially, but similar new
race types are found in most coun-
tries.
And now. says Prof. Pape. as life,
through successive embodiments. as
cends to fuller and nobler capacities
of thought and feeling, we see, right
here. how necessary all that outline
OF the past becomes to grasp the
why's and wherefores of our great
ness
Turn to the Pape diagram, Race
characteristics" You will then see
what slow, long building up Of
precious qualities was necessary TO
blend the perfume of times flower
(Which means ourselves or oursD
and the particular race characteris-
tics of the AustraI-Americans in
tuitive cooperative and fraternal.
How do they know that we and the
Australians are developing the supe
rior race type?
Full evidence. they say, is found
along research lines: % medical, CD
psychological. (3) mathematical, 90
educational. and particularly. in a
study of children born OF parents,
here and there in Great Britain and
elsewhere. and, above all, in the
United States and Australia, one of
the latter of whom was actually in
the line during the late war:
There is no space in this popular
story for the medical evidence, found,
much in the study of the glands and
the luminous suggestions of the great
Sir Arthur Keith (before the British
Association) that evolutionists are
more and more inclined to adopt the
view that nature progresses expert
mentally. We must necessarily be
impressed by the work of the glands
in the human body, for it is through
the medium of these glands that ma
ture seems to experiment"
There is a particular demonsua-
ton from the pineal gland, as index
of the keener sense organs and spir-
itual proclivities. Its increase of
size at the expense of the posterior
part of the cerebral hemispheres ac-
companies a corresponding develop
ment of that part of the Uranium.
CIT must be remembered that these
are only physical correspondences.
just as the ordinary human brain is
the registering organ of memory, but
not memory itself.")
Nor is there space here for the evil
dences OF medical research into (a)
increase of nervous diseases, (b) dis
ease resistants, and (c) acute infec-
tions in childhood, all contributing
their proofs for the new race.

THE psychological demonstration
goes hand in hand with Berg
sons and Geley's inadequacy of "the
survival Of the fittest' theory in evo-
luton, and certain abstruse things Of
relativity.
The mathematical part works along
the lines of the study OF the atom and
the fourth dimension-ouite impos-
sible to make easy or attractive read
ing.
Even the. educational evidence is
too voluminous and technical for the
Sunday magazine. Yet you may like
to know this. 1t is found in the i'm
pressionists (of whom we all know
something. if only of the novelty of
their reaching out--that is, their in
stinctive seekings-rather than their
accomplishment up to dateD in art,
music and poetry.
(The new Irish poet, Yeats, who
has just received the Nobel prize of
literature, can serve as a concrete
example of the tendency, among the
Celts.)
In all these, speaking generally. it
is the synthetic aspect which shows
the new type-ie., giving widesweep-
ing views that relate to number of
lines of research which hitherto have
been supposed quite separate, show
ing the reason for things as q great
whole, "and all bearing out the in
