- NE OF the most singular Of
the speculations which the
~ attendants at the Toronto
meeting Of the British Ass0cia.
ton for the Advancement Of Sci.
ence were invited to consider,
was that offered by Professor ].
w. Gregory, Of Glasgow Univef-
sity, on the segregation Of the
various races Of man. Professor
Gregory seems to be alarmed by
the ALLEGED fact that when dif.
ferent races live side by side, the
more primitive race, unless con-
.ditions be imposed upon 1t fatal
to its spirit. viii outlive the other
whenever the struggle Tor exist
ence is keen"
II this be indeed fact and not
mere inference drawn from In
sufficient data, It might be used
as an argument against civiliza-
ton. But let that pass, and con-
slider Professor Gregory's plan
for avoiding the contact Of races,
supposed to be 30 fatal to the
continued existence Of the higher
forms.
II fully carried into effect this
plan would turn the face OF the
earth into q racial checkerbo
Each Of the principal races would
have its own allotted region. or
square, wherein to dwell and be
happy. Each could live undis-
turbed in accordance with its
fundamental peculiarities Of body
and mind. Naturally each would
develop q kind Of civilization
suited to itself. The dream of q
united mankind, all dwelling to.
gether In comfy and harmony,
under identical laws and customs,
would vanish, and the earth
would once more be az effectually
divided az It was In ante-geo-
graphic times.
But not only that; for in some
], cases at least, different races
would be distributed in groups on
a single continent. For instance,
Professor Gregory expressly sug.
gested that in South Africa, where
It is said that the negro poulation,
at present outnumbering the
white three to one, IL increasing
faster than Its rival, the territory
might be divided 50 that some
parts would be inhabited only BY
