of the heart as much as of the head.... In the mating of men and women, money, social position, worldly expediency, the conventional and fictitious values so influential in these days, will count for much less, while organic health and efficiency, character, unselfish devotion to high ideals, to the great world interests will count for far more. In this obedience to ideals so farsighted, romantic love will not be lost in any way, as some seem to fear. Men and women will not choose one another in cold blood simply because intelligence and reason point the way, but human sentiment and every romantic quality will be enhanced when permanent and future interests are furthered by a saner and finer human choice."[845] [844] For a radical discussion of this topic, see STANLEY, "Artificial Selection and the Marriage Problem," _Monist_, II, 51 ff.; _idem_, "Our Civilization and the Marriage Problem," _Arena_, II, 94-100. He is criticised by WALLACE, "Human Selection," _Fort. Rev._, XLVIII, 325 ff. An extreme position is taken by GRANT ALLEN, "The Girl of the Future," _Universal Rev._, May, 1890; and "Plain Words on the Woman Question," _Fort. Rev._, Oct., 1889. _Cf._ WERTHEIMER, "Homiculture," _Nineteenth Century_, XXIV, 390-92. [845] See DR. THOMAS D. WOOD'S able paper, _Some Controlling Ideals of the Family Life of the Future_, 27. There is then no need to despair of the future. It is vain to turn back the hand on the dial. The problem of individual liberty has become the problem of social liberty. Individualization for the sake of socialization must continue its beneficent work. There must be growth, constant readjustment. Marriage will in truth be holy if it rests on the free trothplight of equals whose love is deep enough to embrace a rational regard for the rights of posterity. The home will not have less sanctity when through it flows the stream of the larger human life. The family will, indeed, survive; but it will be a family of a higher type. Its evolution is not yet complete. Coercive ties will still further yield to voluntary spiritual ties; for individual liberty appears to be the essential condition of social progress.
