Material objects have cost the nations untold effort, but human fiber--the life blood of nations--has been overlooked or forgotten. The world is weary of this emphasis on things and this forgetfulness of men; the ether trembles with the clamor for manhood. The fields, white to harvest, are awaiting the laborers who, building on the discoveries and inventions of things in the past, will so mold the human clay of the present that the future may boast a society of men and women possessing the qualities of the Super Race. What is a Super Race? Nothing more nor less than a race representing, in the aggregate, the qualities of the Super Man--the qualities which enable one possessing them to live what Herbert Spencer described so luminously as a "complete life," namely,-- 1. Physical normality. 2. Mental capacity. 3. Concentration. 4. Aggressiveness. 5. Sympathy. 6. Vision. These characteristics of the Super Man express themselves in his activity: 1. Physical normality provides energy. 2. Mental capacity gives mental grasp. 3. Aggressiveness. } } produce efficiency. 4. Concentration. } 5. Sympathy leads to harmony with things and coöperation with men. 6. Vision shows itself in ideals. The energy to do; and the mental grasp to appreciate; together with the capacity to choose efficiently, furnish the basis for achievement. Achievement, however, is not in itself a guarantee of worth unless its course is shaped by sympathy and directed toward a goal which is determined by the prophetic power of vision. Such are the characteristics which, combined in one individual, insure completeness of life. About them, philosophers have reasoned and poets have sung. They are the acme of human perfection--the ideal of individual attainment. Though they have been thus idealized, these qualities are not new. They have existed for ages, as they exist to-day, occasionally combined in one individual but usually appearing separately in members of the social group. They form part of the heritage of the human race, and in spite of neglect and lack of fostering, they are widespread in all sections of the population. The production of a race of men and women, a great majority of whom shall possess these qualities, will mean the next great step in human achievement.
