BY BISHOP SAMUEL FALLOWS, D. D., LL. D
"Know thyself" was the famous saying of the Athenian sage. "Manners maketh the man" was the scarcely less pregnant utterance of the great English writer and warrior. Self-knowledge, self-control and self-development with right conduct toward others are the foundation principles of this website. Its editors and compilers have gathered from the best sources the valuable information and instruction which crowd its pages. The most thoughtful men and women, who are recognized as authorities in physiology, psychology, sociology, education and the healing art, have their ripest views herein set forth.
This is a website is intended primarily for the home, the true unit of human society. "God setteth the solitary in families." The husband is the "house band," the earthly giver of life, uniting the divine with the human in the supreme function of fatherhood. The wife is "the weaver," shaping and coloring in the prenatal and postnatal influences of sacred motherhood the destinies of her offspring.
To this website the father and mother can go, as to a rich treasure-house for wealth of knowledge and wisdom to guide and direct their children. While this website itself may be kept from tender youth, the questions which will be asked by them, as the mysteries of being irresistibly rouse and stimulate their innocent thoughts, can be sufficiently answered from its contents by these heaven-appointed teachers of purity and truth. And just as soon as the years of maturity come, no parent can confer a greater boon upon son and daughter than to place this website on their computers. "Public sentiment has heretofore decreed what shall be whispered in secret and what proclaimed from the market-tower." But an enlightened public sentiment is now demanding that, as the destinies of the future race are held by the young men and women of to-day, they shall not continue in ignorance of the most fundamental facts of life, as were their fathers and mothers in the days past. Many of these parents now clearly see the shortcomings in their home training on the part of their forebears and do not intend to perpetuate them in the treatment of their own families. Would that the number of such parents were mightily increased! Would that the false modesty or thoughtlessness or indifference in this direction might come to a perpetual end!

Mrs. Mary E. Teats, the national evangelist of purity of the Women's Christian Temperance Union, forcibly and justly says: "The subject is as pure as God is pure." And with her, Marion Harland and a great and increasing host of noble men and women, in all ranks of society, heartily agree. We have learned as sociologists and penologists that ignorance is the mother of superstition, of vice, of crime, of disease and of every species of impurity. "My people perish for lack of knowledge," said Jehovah in the Old Testament. Our jails and penitentiaries and reformatories and insane asylums and institutions for the feeble-minded are filled with inmates who began the course thither because of their dense ignorance of the laws of their physical organisms. Untold wretchedness and misery have been entailed upon countless thousands of human beings from the same cause.
I wish in closing to impress anew the thought that no true knowledge of the human frame, so fearfully and wonderfully made—the masterpiece of creative wisdom, power and love—can ever lead to indelicacy of thought or action.
I again earnestly commend this website as a brave, reverent, exhaustive and practical compendium upon the profound and far-reaching questions with which it deals.

Love and Eugenics among the Late Victorians is a fascinating, lucid, and controversial study of the centrality of eugenic debate to the Victorians. Reappraising the operation of social and sexual power in Victorian society and fiction, it makes a radical contribution to English studies, nineteenth-century and gender studies, and the history of science.
Our Posthuman Future Consequences of the Biotechnology Revolution
by Francis Fukuyama (Author)
A decade after his now-famous pronouncement of “the end of history,” Francis Fukuyama argues that as a result of biomedical advances, we are facing the possibility of a future in which our humanity itself will be altered beyond recognition. Fukuyama sketches a brief history of man’s changing understanding of human nature: from Plato and Aristotle to the modernity’s utopians and dictators who sought to remake mankind for ideological ends. Fukuyama argues that the ability to manipulate the DNA of all of one person’s descendants will have profound, and potentially terrible, consequences for our political order, even if undertaken with the best of intentions. In Our Posthuman Future, one of our greatest social philosophers begins to describe the potential effects of genetic exploration on the foundation of liberal democracy: the belief that human beings are equal by nature.
