EVER since the signing of the armistice, the civilized peoples of the world have been demonstrating an amazing aptitude for political and social disorder. A rampant individualism, both crude and incompetent, hinders concerted action toward readjustment. Irresponsibility stands out as one of the commonest of personal characteristics. The rising complexities of our civilization seem to be met by a sheer incapacity on the part of vast numbers to accept reasonable social obligations. This huge distemper is laid variously to maladministration, social injustice, ignorance, and reaction from war; but there is abundant evidence of a deeper malady-of a degenerative change taking place in the quality of the race itself, which is adding significantly to the difficulties of the present social order. <strong>...</strong></p>Humphrey Seth K. - The Indian dispossessedurn:md5:03ef4939cec9b9370e23257338fab74c2013-04-05T22:20:00+01:002013-04-05T21:25:47+01:00balderHumphrey Seth K.North America <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img2/.Humphrey_Seth_K_-_The_Indian_dispossessed_s.jpg" alt="" /><br />

IF the introductory chapter of this book be deemed to bear too heavily upon long-cherished American ideals, will the reader generously consider it as no more than a friendly challenge to discover, in the Indian tales which follow, that those ideals have borne, unsullied, the practical test ? Not once is there question of the high impulses or fair intent of the American people ; but a good intention loses virtue with age, and sentiments which persist without developing into action can weigh little against the plain record of facts. This is no attempt to maintain that "all men are created equal." In the light of all that is best in human history, that declaration attains to nothing more real than a praiseworthy sentiment mistaken for a fact. Whether the nation which gave it birth has developed it into a sentiment to be honored, or into a grotesque absurdity, during its long contact with a race created not the white man's equal, the reader is left to determine.

UNDER the stimulus of a growing conviction that all is not as well as might be with the inherent qualities of the human race, science has gathered in the last dozen years more knowledge as. to what racial values are, and the manner of their inheritance, than in all the years preceding. This knowledge is well set forth in a more or less technical literature, but it has reached the general reader mainly through the public press, and so indifferently that its practical relation to life is usually misapprehended. This book aims to present the subject of race untechnically-rather in its broad social aspect - and to awaken in the lay reader an appreciation of the fundamental part played in human affairs by inborn racial quality. The writer does not make a practice of referring to authorities, for the reason that scarcely an assertion is made on the strength of any single authority. It has been the intention to make no statement involving questions of heredity, either in the chapter on "Principles of Inheritance," or in any other part of the book, which is not based on generally accepted laws. <strong>...</strong></p>
