1938rif. 60519Los Angeles CA & Providence RI: The Institute of Family Relations 607 South Hill St. 1938. Two pieces. 1st - 8vo. 4 pp unpaginated. self-printed softcovers photo illust. of Popenoe on front cover crease fold from mailing minor dustsoiling; 2nd - 4to. 8.5 x 11 in. 1 leaf. TLS on letterhead “Copy” and Osborn’s initials in ink crease folds wear & minor tears at folds some age toning still VG- set. These two scarce original promotional brochure and TLS reflect the ongoing efforts by prominent eugenicist Paul Popenoe dubbed “the father of marriage counseling” to spread and inculcate followers into his racist eugenics policies. The letter to the YMCA at Brown University to drum up speaking tour dates from the Institute’s Educational Director Loran Osborn writes that “his Popenoe’s fee is $100 per day . . . and he is perfectly willing to speak two of three times in a day. . . .” His speaking subjects included “A Biological View of the Jewish Problem” “The Progress of Eugenics” “Should Women Compete with Men” and others in the same vein. Popenoe advocated sterilization for those who were deemed unfit to reproduce and marriage counseling for healthy “White” couples and whose lectures often stated that “continued limitation of offspring in the White race simily inites the Black Brown and other races to finish the work already begun by Birth Control and reduce the “Whites” to a subject race. Most of Popenoe’s beliefs became institutionalized into conservative Christian movements and evangelical churches in Southern California and his Institute of Family Relations influenced generations of marriage counselors.

1913rif. 85169Chicago: O. M. Heath & Co 1913. First Edition. First printing. Octavo 19cm. Purple ribbed cloth spine and cover titles in gilt; 3031pp; portrait frontispiece and five unnumbered leaves of photographic plates halftones. A tight clean copy free of markings with just a hint of sunning to spine cloth; very Near Fine. A collection of six short tales each intended to illustrate a different aspect of "the prevalence of degeneracy in the modern era" jacket. Composts of Tradition was self-published and marketed aggressively in contemporary periodicals including The Masses and Pearson's; one such advertisement in the January 1915 issue of Pearson's outlines the book's intention: "It is not a book for prudes either male or female. It is a book for aggressive and advanced thinkers. Among other doctrines it advocates: 1 Sterilization of physical social and mental defectives; 2 Annihilation of the stigma attached to the bar-sinister; 3 Encouragement of reproduction upon the part of the fit; 4 Maintenance of all children by society; 5 Monogamy but marriage ceremonies to be optional not obligatory; 6 Divorce by collusion." At least one of the stories "Maid of the Neptunian Strand" has fantasy elements. Oscar Morrill Heath c.1872-1952 was a Chicago secondary school teacher and lecturer-for-hire on social subjects; beginning about 1905 through at least the 1920s we lose sight of him around 1930 he was the proprietor of a Chicago correspondence school for schoolteachers The Cultural Review School through whose auspices he issued a few ephemeral publications as well as a monthly magazine Teaching As A Profession. Additionally thanks to the trade card mounted in the front we know that Heath was the proprietor of at least two Chicago beauty parlors. From contemporary newspaper acccounts it appears that the current work landed Heath at least temporarily in hot water; the Chicago Tribune for November 6 1913 includes an article stating that Heath's status as an instructor at Englewood High School was "under review" pending publication of a book that was "critical of the nuptial bond" and seemed to condone childbirth out of wedlock. It is quite possible that Heath lost his position over the book as in subsequent years we find him advertising his services as a freelance instructor in a variety of topics including a review course in math for candidates to Army Officers' Candidate School during WW1. Despite its fetching title the current work is somewhat uncommon with fewer than 20 locations in OCLC most apparently in circulating collections. SMITH H-442. Not in Bleiler despite clear fantasy content. O. M. Heath & Co unknown
