INST!NCTS IRREPRESSIBLE. SEN THE STRONGEST. LONDON, January 28. “Our dirty little civilisation might as well try to dam Niagara as to stop our primitive instincts, which find expression in hunting, the open-air life, and the cultivation of the land,” says Professor Burs ball, of the University of Birmingham. He ridicules the idea that 3000 years hence there will be 1 a. race of intellectual supermen. “Intellectual power has no influence uron the race,” lie says. “The development and expression of the primitive instincts is far more important than that of the intellect. “The sex instinct is the most permanent and powerful in the human race, and there is not the slightest danger of its being diminished by intellectual development.”
