War and heredity in nation building by Professor Jordan
The essay argues war destroys the strong and breeds a weaker future, contrasting views of Professor David Starr Jordan and Harvard critics. It links heredity to national vitality, cites Rome Greece and Napoleonic battles, and discusses England Japan Germany and America, warning against reversed selection and urging civilian-led preservation of race strength.
