The article presents information about the books "The Next Age of Man," by Albert Edward Wiggam and "The Right to be Happy," by Bertrand Russell. In the present volume Wiggam continues to discourse on heredity, environment, genetics, eugenics, and what not in his best Sunday supplement manner, and until near the end appears to be alarmed as usual lest the better stocks of our people be petering out. In his book, Russell favors such a modernization of ethics as shall allow pre-marital intercourse without social disapproval, cheap and easy divorce for such couples as choose to have it, and open extra-marital relations aesthetically arrived at for such as desire variety now and then to give spice to the sexual life.
