In the current work Blanchard writing in the voice of a woman librarian looking back from 22nd century America envisions a future world made perfect through collectivization land reform the emancipation of women and - sigh - as in so many technological utopias of the period Eugenics: ".Can you imagine a greater folly than asylums and prisons.making more and more criminals more unfits and misfits being born each year then burdening society with their care and support When Altruism gained power we blotted out those hopelessly unfit to live.we removed the cause of crime and purged the nation of its defective taint."

No dust jacket present. A previous owner was Flemmie P. Kittrell name on fep. A fascinating work a statement of purpose 'arranged in the form of a catechism' from the American Eugenics Society of which Huntington was president. 'This book is an attempt to state in simple but accurate language the main principles of eugenics and their application to social problems.' Ellsworth Huntington September 16 1876 – October 17 1947 was a professor of geography at Yale University during the early 20th century known for his studies on environmental determinism/climatic determinism economic growth and economic geography. He served as president of the Ecological Society of America in 1917 the Association of American Geographers in 1923 and president of the board of directors of the American Eugenics Society from 1934 to 1938. Flemmie Pansy Kittrell December 25 1904 – October 3 1980 was the first African American woman to earn a Ph.D. in home economics. Her Ph.D. focused on nutritional interventions to address high Black mortality rates in the 1930s and she was also the first African American woman to get a Ph.D. from Cornell University. She transformed the field of home economics in the United States and internationally through research and programming on adult nutrition Black infant feeding practices and the importance of preschool enrichment experiences for children. Her work was foundational to the development of Head Start a national social program that provides early childhood education health and nutrition services to low-income children and families in the United States. Kittrell also served as an international ambassador using home economics to address global malnutrition and poverty. The American Eugenics Society AES was a pro-eugenics organization dedicated to "furthering the discussion advancement and dissemination of knowledge about biological and sociocultural forces which affect the structure and composition of human populations". It endorsed the study and practice of eugenics in the United States. Its original name as the American Eugenics Society lasted from 1922 to 1973 but the group changed their name after open use of the term "eugenics" became disfavored; it was known as the Society for the Study of Social Biology from 1973–2008 and the Society for Biodemography and Social Biology from 2008–2019. The Society was disbanded in 2019. During the Progressive Era Huntington expressed concern about immigration and the race mixing. He claimed that liberal immigration policy would lead to the "highest racial values" being "irrevocably swamped by those of lower calibre." Tomorrow's Children is a historical text outlining the goals of the eugenics movement in the United States. The book serves as a "catechism" or guide for the American Eugenics Society detailing the goals and principles of eugenics during that era. It discusses the application of eugenic principles including controversial ideas surrounding population control and sterilization which were active topics of debate in the 1930s.

1923182347Baltimore: Williams & Wilkins Company 1923. Eugenics grows in America First editions of both volumes of the papers from the second international eugenics congress; from the library of the American Eugenics Society with their stamp to the front free endpapers. The three international eugenics congresses were the central forum for the worldwide eugenics movement to share papers and propose policies. Britain hosted the first congress in 1912 at the University of London. The second congress took place at the American Museum of Natural History in New York in September 1921. Henry Fairfield Osborn presided Alexander Graham Bell was the honorary president and the key guest speaker was Leonard Darwin the son of Charles who advocated measures to eliminate the unfit. The third congress met in 1932 at the same venue. The American Eugenics Society was founded in 1922 in the aftermath of the second congress and only dissolved in 2019. It was the main American body promoting eugenics in the 1920s during which eugenic policies were introduced in numerous American states and immigration quotas were set to limit immigration from outside western and northern Europe. The papers of the congress show the breadth of the movement which was at the forefront of scientific research at the time. Some are reputable studies of heredity traits but most include panic-stricken notions of national decline due to the increase of undesired races and peoples:. The papers include "Some Notes on the Jewish problem" "Negro-White Intermixture and Intermarriage" and "The War from the Eugenic point of view". 2 vols octavo. With frontispieces and 45 plates. Original blue cloth spines lettered in gilt. Faint shadow of removed label to spines. Light rubbing and very light wear at extremities contents clean and unmarked save for trivial notations on contents pages. A very good copy. hardcover
