[left side] resistance, these undesirable are apt to receive more than their share of attention. Our Bureau deems it a special privilege to be so situated that its efforts can be projected into the distant future. May not others be able so to shape their work as to embrace not only the point outlines above, but to include eugenics as a whole or a part of regular and legitimate health work? The future of the white race and its civilization in America, and the welfare of our children, are in the keeping of this generation. Shall we arise to the situation and save our country from the terrible calamity which awaits us if we are indifferent? Shall we meet the situation with courage and determination, and secure our land forever for the unmixed descendants of those who have made it what we find it today? Since this is our only course, let us stand shoulder to shoulder, with unyielding front, determined to preserve our racial integrity at all costs. Let us turn a deaf ear to those who would interpret Christian brotherhood to mean racial equality. Those who would have America perform her full part in the evangelization of the world must not lose sight of the fact that this will be done by us only as a white nation. The colored race of the South has shown commendable zeal in providing for its own religious needs, but who can point to an example of any great concerted effort on their part to provide for the religious or physical needs of those afar off? The mongrel groups of Virginia, which have descended lowest, unlike the true negro, are lacking in the initiative and zeal to provide for their own religious, educational, and even physical needs, ut depend upon the white people to build their houses of worship and supply them with the Gospel and old clothes, under the guise of "Indian Missions." These groups point clearly to the condition when our whole population is mongrelized. In [22] [right side] that day we will be a helpless mass of mental weaklings, incapable of strong government, and effective resistance to any nation of pure race which chooses to exploit us. Discussion Dr. A. T. McCormack, Louisville, Ky. [em dash] The very important matter presented so ably by Dr. Plecker is of a great deal of practical importance unquestionably and, at the same time, one of the best statements that can be presented in regard to the value and integrity of vital statistics. I think it is of extreme importance and should be kept before the public mind. Dr. Plecker's statement has caused me to think of a remarkable incident at the State Health Convention in Chicago, when we heard Judge Olsen in an address on criminology that covered this whole matter. Judge Olsen is making a study of crime from his extensive experience as a criminal judge, and says that criminal instincts are ninety-two per cent inherited and eight per cent from environment. He has established a laboratory in connection with the criminal courts of Chicago in which examination of criminals is carefully made, and he is confident that with careful segregation of the criminal element of the country crime can be exterminated in several generations. Criminal law should be determined not by the present type of courts, but by experienced judges after careful psychical and medical examinations and criminal segregation. He made an appeal for the immortality of the body; that the chromosome we transmit in marriage develop to remain here, that the child be trained from the beginning in the responsibility of what he is to transmit to his offspring. I had the opportunity of going to Panama, where every race had contributed something, and the negroid influence was predominant, and where degeneration of all races had been more rapidly brought about by that [23] [end]
