employments, and dropped to the rank of unskilled or casuals where they are little likely to mate or breed. On the man who is the victim of his own evil inclinations we squander much sympathy and effort that ought to be reserved for the worthier persons who are the victims of the evil inclinations of others. We war feebly against sin because so energetically against vice. As regards hell, there is something to be said for the open-door policy. PROFESSOR WELLS I do not wish to be understood as being opposed to a wise philanthropy, but as insisting that our philanthropy cannot safely overlook the biological consequences of its activities. It should not favor the multiplication of weaklings, or put degenerate and defective human beings in a position to propagate their kind. Nor am I opposed to the widest measures of popular education; but I do believe that we must modify our methods. We need more industrial and manual features, shorter hours, more playgrounds and gymnastics, fewer subjects and a shorter period of training. In time we may get back to the saner notions of the Greeks upon these subjects. I suppose we must submit to the higher education of women. It appears inevitable; but it seems to me not yet proven that this education should be the same in kind and amount as that afforded to men. Not identical educational environment, but one nicely adapted to natures and needs, apears to me to be a sound ideal. These natures and needs are physical in great part, and not purely intellectual, and cannot be neglected without damage to the individual, the nation, and the race.
