Professor Dunlap's little book is an argument for the appreciation of beauty in its value to the race. In the first part of the book he analyzes the concept of beauty, showing of what it consists, and in the second part of the book he deals with certain practical issues touching its conservation. His general thesis is that beauty in a large general way signifies the presence of those qualities which are of value to the race and that therefore other things being equal rosy cheeks, a clear eye, a good complexion, and a well-formed body are very safe indications that the possessor is qualified to become a parent and are therefore of high eugenic value. The book is interestingly written and opens up a lot of social problems which do not ordinarily come in for much consideration.
