for Humanity themselves would their qualities be inherited? That is the question we cannot answer. Without moral and spirituni qualities, the super-ion, in spite of his beauty. his strength and his brain, would be an Inconceivably terrible Frankenstein monster.

The answer to the question. "Can breed a race of super-men?" seems to be, at present, in the nega- tive. But this should not prevent us striving towards the end. If we can- not eliminate
undesirable every quality and expand every good one, we can at least discourage the bad 27% and encourage the good. If we enn- not make men of the 4000 A.D. per- feet, we can, especially by looking before we leap into marriage, make them a good deal better than our- selves.
