This article focuses on the book "Is America Safe for Democracy?," by William McDougall. For to Professor McDougall the secret of history and of progress lies almost wholly in race, and we are rapidly adulterating and destroying our best race to make room for others. That there is something in his major premises is obvious. The difference between a fast trotting horse and a slow Percheron, and between both of them and a snake, is primarily one of breeding. No amount of education will train a horsefly to pull carts or a cowbird to give milk, or will overcome the inherited dipsomania of the mosquito or the homicidal taint in the blood of the tiger.
