While Professor J. Macmillan Brown was in England recently an arrangement. was made with the Oxford University Press to publish his two books, “Riallaro,” a satire, and “Liminora,” a “Utopia,” in which the professor pictures society reconstructed on a scientific basis. Some of the professor’s beliefs regarding social eugenics are embodied in his writings. He thinks it would be of great benefit to the human race if defective types were sterilised so that they could not leave a tainted posterity. When interviewed yesterday he stated that he had tried to arrange with the publishers to issue his works at as modest a price as possible so that they might be available to a wider section of the public.
