Synopsis

Excerpt from The American Idea: Does the National Tendency Toward a Small Family Point to Race, Suicide or Race Development?

As usually happens, when a new problem con fronts a nation, theories arrive before facts. Each theory, as a rule, is based upon its originator's personal experience - *inevitably so, because of the lack of data on the subject. Such has been the case, to a remarkable degree, in the discussion of the race suicide question. Naturally, a nation as young and vigorous as ours could not foresee the coming of such a contingency - one which has hitherto occurred only in older countries. We have been taken by surprise.

This book, therefore, is not the elaboration of a new theory, but an assembling of facts and Opinions from widely varying sources. It is an attempt to represent American opinion as a whole.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
