CHAPTER ONE

America's greatest sociologists and the original coiner of the much used phrase "race suicide," came to this racially serious conclusion years ago. By 1912[1] he was awake to the danger of the swamping of the good old American stock by the too prolific immigrant stock and he recently made impressive public utterances to the effect that changed conditions have changed the meaning of the phrase he coined so long ago and "race suicide" to-day is to be seen in unrestricted breeding.[2] In short, that the world is in greater danger from the stork, than it is from the eagle or the vulture.

It is the medical man's business to tame and control the stork.
