petition for bare existence keenest, never pro- / gresses as fast as the race which exists under less / stringent conditions. There must undoubtedly / be a certain amount of competition, a certain [ amount of stress and strain, but it is equally un doubted that if this competition becomes too severe the race goes down and not up; and it is further true that the race existing under the severest stress as regards this competition often fails to go ahead as fast even in population as does the race... where the competition is less severe. No matter how large the number of births may be, a race cannot increase if the number of deaths also grows at an accelerating rate. 134 American Ideals To increase greatly a race must be prolific, and there is no curse so great as the curse of barren ness, whether for a nation or an individual.
