Excerpt from The Forum, Vol. 67: January 1922 June 1922
What remains to a legitimate eugenics movement," I read to-day in one of the best and most intelligent of American journals, "when the race problem is dropped from its programme?" It is a reasonable question to ask. At a time when the eugenics programme of many eager would-be eugenists contains so many items that had better be dropped, one may well ask what remains.
As I am one of those who, like Dr. R. H. Lowie, the writer of the article I have quoted, believe that much remains, I should be glad to state here the grounds and the nature of my eugenic faith. And in the first place it is important to clear away the rubbish that merely encumbers the ground on which a sound eugenic faith has to be built up.
The race problem, with which some have sought to obscure the eugenic problem, may indeed be eliminated at the outset. It is another question, and a question only profitable for the historian to consider.
