Synopsis
Excerpt from The Super Race: An American Problem
For ages men have sought to perpetuate their memories in enduring monuments of brass and of stone. Yet, in their efforts to build lasting memorials they have neglected the most enduring monument of all - the Monument of Posterity. These farseeing ones have overlooked their real opportunity; for in posterity - in the achievements of their children's children, men may best hope to reflect a lasting greatness.

The Super Race: An American Problem (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is the result of the author's belief in the possibility of improving the human race systematically through progress in the science of eugenics, the study of the factors affecting inherited qualities. The author argues that this is necessary because although past civilizations have produced improvements in technology and art, there is no evidence that the quality of man has improved in historic times. The book investigates the possibilities of applying eugenic principles to eliminate undesirable traits and encourage desirable ones in humans, thereby creating a 'Super Race'. It also explores how the individual can make changes in social institutions, particularly the home, school, and government, to develop the qualities of the 'Super Man'. Ultimately, the book argues that Education, Social Adjustment, and Eugenics are sciences that, if mastered, could lead to the creation of a new breed of human beings characterized by physical normality, mental capacity, aggressiveness, concentration, sympathy, and vision.
