...classic human document expressed in lyric prose. But since then (1913) Author Lawrence has played less the artist and more the psychiatrist, his favorite study still the positive and negative reactions of sex attraction and repulsion. At their best the short stories of the present collection are a neurological graph done into Lawrence's powerful prose, and at their predominant worst (witness the title story) they are queer extravaganzas of symbology...

Unlike some advocates of birth control who whine for an indiscriminate decrease in the world-birth rate, Authors Huntington, able Yale environist, and Whitney, able Secretary of the American Eugenics Society, with many a diagram and graph, powerfully defend their contention that the intelligent minority should be more prolific. Most novel, indisputable, disastrous, are the statistics which they produce upon those who achieve irritating and ephemeral success during their collegiate careers, and who, when they graduate, are reluctant to duplicate their superiorities in offspring. Even chorus girls and stage ladies...
