WATER COLORS or? 2 NORTHERN SCENES Lothrop Stoddard Points Out a Possibiligy in Ngyv Book; Surely, never was high intelligence so needed as in our complex modern civilization. Yet the, weight of sci- entitle evidence apparently reveals the alarming fact that this most vital quality is today on the decline. 'All over the civilized world the conditions of modern life seem to handicap the most intelligent elements, whose numbers are stationary or diminish.. imr; whereas the low-grade and men- tally defective elements of the popu- lation are rapidly increasing. ' The problem of human degeneration is lit.. erally a life-and-death question, in- volving not merely the fate of mod- ern civilization but possibly the em tire future of mankind, says Lothrop Stoddard in "Stientifie Humanism,” published by Charles Scribner’s Sons.

Indeed, some go so far as to predict that the down- fall of dur civilization would be but the prelude to the extinction. of the entire human race. _ Humanity's watch-words must be: "No surrender!" and "Carry ont" Only by fresh defiance of nature; only in greater mastery over natural forces and a more perfect artificial environment, can man find safety and assure his future.

JARDINE GIVES GOOD VIEW OF FARM STATE His Work Exphins Many Points Secretary Jardine of the Depart- ment of Agriculture. has done a real service for the nation in the study! of farm incomes for 1925 and 1926.' One of the serious handicaps in pro- curing adequate remedies for farm conditions has been the disposition on the part of the industrialist to' say that the farmers were wiell off, and on the part of the farmers to deny} completely any advantage and to pica tare their condition " even more de- pressing. In this particular report just issued, however, the Secretary sets forth that while farm incomes have improved; so that the average farm family has earned $24.00 more than the previous year, that the earnings are still 80 per cent lower than in 1919 and“1920, while factory wage-earners for the last three years have only _beert earning what they have earned in 1919 and 1920, they have been able to buy more. In other words, farmert, had an investment re- turn of only 3.5 per cent, while the industrial workmen have had a’ re- turn of 4 per cent. The one thing to do Tow is to see that farmers and industrialists get together in a com- ‘mbn acceptance and agreement on ) these (UGS. _ The trend of the people from the farms to the cltiee contains now I serious element of danger. The fut again that virgin land in the United States is virtually eliminated in 1190 worthy of note.
