SAYS DESTINY OF MAN IN HANDS OF PSYCHOLOGISTS

"Hope for the happiness of man rests upon the development of a now science for understanding the brain." this statement, made by Dr. Alexis Carrel of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research was seconded by Professor William McDougall of the Department of Psychology yesterday.

This science, contemplated by Dr. Carrel, would supplement medicine in saying civilization. Medicine, much as it does toward reducing human ills, seems to safeguard men from one disease, only to find them liable to another.

The new science, through its treatment of the brain; will be a very high form of psychology. Dr. Carrel insisted, "It is obvious that the functions of the brain must be better understood in order that, without intellectual or moral deterioration the human race may stand the new conditions of life imposed on the individual by modern civilization."

Dr. Carrel said, "Instead of merely in increasing the number of human beings, we could increase their quality. The progress of medicinal understood in this manner, would be the most important factor in the development of civilization."

Professor McDougall explained. "The class of people whom science now saves from typhoid is the class most susceptible in the diseases of civilization, cancer, and the like.

"The class of people who best stand civilization may not be the class most worthy of life. Science must determine the type it wants to produce, and must breed for quality.

"This new psychology is our only hope of improving the quality of human beings," declared Professor McDougall. In company with the rise of this new science must come some social control of the birth rate. We are breeding too many who are unfitted for this life.
