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.
