Abstract
THE author of this skilful little book is persuaded that the improvement of the human breed would be accelerated if people knew more biology. They perish for lack of knowledge. “Science says human beings will be safer when people know the facts, and are influenced by them. Teachers say ‘Give us the facts, and we will pass them on to the boys and girls whom we teach.’ Both man of science and teacher agree that the human race will be better able to escape certain kinds of peril if we let young people know what the perils are, and how to avoid them. Such is the purpose of this book.”
