Letter from Elva E. Miller to The Outlook
Elva E. Miller responds to Theodore Roosevelt’s “Race Decadence” article in The Outlook by comparing it to Jack London’s “The Human Drift.” Both pieces attempt to forecast the “comparative population of the various countries” within the next century. Miller contends that such questions are purely academic. Instead of focusing on potential future issues related to decreased birth rates, Miller asserts that reducing the present infant death rate is of far greater consequence.
