CHICAGO, X-ASSISTANT
STATES ATTORNEY OF COOK

TORNEY FOR THE BOARD OF
EDUCATION OF CHICAGO.

Apropos of the brilliant article Of
former United States Senator James
Hamilton Lewis, published in The
Broad AK, May 31st, 1924, and the
able article Of Julius F. Taylor, its
editor, in the issue of June l4th, 1924,
I spent considerable time in refresh
ing myself concerning the subject of
the assimilation Of the races and I
am giving these views which very
materially add to the theories ad-
vanced- by ne in tbe article which
wrote for The Broad AK several years
ago on the Assimilation Of the
Races"
No one who has any knowledge OF
past history doubts for a moment the
fact that as we become better ac-
quainted with the origin Of mankind,
that the Ethiopians and Egyptians
played very prominent part in the
first civilization known to us. The
education, culture and position of the
various races Of mankind today have
been brought about by many ages of
progress, and we are told by no less
an authority than Fl. G. Wells in his
Outline of History" that, Through
the hundred centuries or SO while
Reindeer men were living under COM
paratively unprogressive conditions
upon the steppes Of France, Germany
and Spain, these more favored and
progressive people to the south were
mastering agriculture, learning to de-
velop their appliances. tanning the
dog, demonstrating cattle, and, as the
climate to the north mitigated and the
equatorial climate grew more tropical,
spreading northward. They were
peoples at about the level Of many Of
the Polynesian islanders Of the last
century; and they were the most adj
vanced peoples in the world"

Us about the earth, the record OF the

that the races assimilate throughout

separate men into multitude Of local
varieties, and another to remix and
blend these varieties together before
"A separate species have been estab-
lished.
These two sets Of forces may have
huctuated in this relative effect in the
past Palaeolithic man, for instance,
may have been more Of a wanderer,
he may have drifted about over a
much greater area, than later Neo-
lithic man; he was less fixed to any
sort of home or lair, he was tied by
fewer possessions. Being hunter,
he was obliged to follow the migra-
tions Of his ordinary quarry. A few
bad seasons may have shifted him
hundreds OF miles. He may there
fore have mixed very widely and de-
veloped few varieties over the greater
part Of the world.

tended to tie those communities OF
mankind that took it up to the region
in which it was most conveniently
