WHITE OYER COLOURED RACES. it A PROFESSOR’S CONCLUSIONS. BY CABLE-PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. NEW YORK, April l 3. A message from Newhaven, - Connecticut, says that Dr. Bennett, Dean of the School of Anatomy in the University of Virginia, addressing a. convention of the American Association of Anatomists, said that the white- races had advanced physically ahead of the brown and yellow races- despite the limitations attributed to civilisation.
Extensive study of dwarfs and-other abnoranals showed that human beings deficient mentally and physically were common in the yellow and black races, whereas there were no low types in the white races.
He said also that many dwarfs were extremely well developed mentally and physically. He admitted there were some so-called Mongolian dwarfs in the white race, which, however, were not low types, but beings whose development had been arrested by disease.
