Dr. Adami warns us that we are well upon 67, QUEEN'S ROAD CENTRAL the way to the category of C3, Civilisation has suspended the operation of the process of natural selections- Pity, charity, and humanitarian legislation have produced conditions which, in Dr. Adami's grim summary "favour survival of the unfit and the inevitable deterioration of the race. We have mitigated the struggle for axistence, we have made the world safe for the weak, and however noble our motives, the result must be that the weak- lings will increase, the category of C3 become a larger and larger proportion of the race. Such is Dr. Adami' diagnosis, though, wiser than some of our passimists he fs careful to specify that the unfit whom we favour so the physically unft. Though their fesh be weak there is at least the chance that their spirits miny be strong But the Vice-Chancellor is not satisfied with the prospect, and he pres cribes a remedy which compels us to "admit that bis courage in of the highest class. To world which has been taught to beliere that democracy is a panacea for all evil, be recommends the quest for aristocracy, What storms will soon burst upon his devoted bend we dare not imagine. The orator who stands up in Manchester in the year of grace 1922 to preach, as he con fessed without shame, "the unpopular doctrine that men are not equal," must be prepared for a life of shocks. The task before us if we would save mankind is, be proclaims, to rediscover the true aristocracy, the people who in bmin and body stand out above; the mass of their fallows. We regret to say that he does. not propose to discover them by a General Election.

HOW TO FIND THE FITTENT.
The man of science, coldly ignoring the spirit of the time, licks faith in the ver diets of the majority. How, then, the twentieth century may well ask in despair, are we to know the great, the wise, and the eminent? Not without a tone-of wistfulzess the Vice-Chancellor points out that it was easy in the old days. Then "the man who was strongest with his club or rendiest with his wit pushed him- self to the top of his. tribe," He chose for his wife the finest woman physically and mentally that he could come Baros),."" and the offspring were naturally gianta and mem of renown. But we have abrogated that good old rule, the simple plan that he should take who has the power and he should keep who can. There is now no assurance that the battle will be to the strong and the race to the swift, still less that the hero will marry the heroino. What is to be done an be comes don, the Vice-Chancellor adver us to hold examinations

All science, it has been said, la “ mentore. ment." Such has been the improvement in ite methods that now-Dr. Adami guarantees it-mental stature can be measured almost as accurately as the girth, of a calf or the suppleness of a biceps or the soundness of a lung. In a little while we may suppose men will know the now size of their brains as well as they know their size in hats, and there looms before us. a melancholy, dis illusioned world. Our country is to be provided with a series of stations where body and brain may be scientifically tested. Examination, we are glad to learn, will be voluntary, but Dr. Adami suggests that "the hope of being passed into the honour- able first class of the mentally and physically perfect" will provide many candidates. We. agree with him in his estimate of the prevalence of modesty. Those who are classed A1 in this new Lloyd's list, which, we regret to remark, he calls "a national stud book," will be the new (and true) aristocracy. The employer wanting a perfect man will know where to find him, which will certainly be 蘊 дет experience, Fren more important, the perfect man and the perfect maid: will be able to avoid inferior partners and marry ene, other with a confidence hitherto unjustified, that there is no deception." The coatingencies of an inadequate supply of perfection in one sex or of perfection failing to appeal to perfection are dismissed with "true scientific optimism. We needs must love the highest when we see it in the national stud book. Thus, a true aristo- cracy will be established, and from generation to generation the file will Improve by the infallible process of un- natural selection. Yet into some minds a given haunting doubt may steal..
