Show (SEfllBJWWWN,-. ; 02: AW LOSE OUT ' ! 1 CHICAGO, Aug. 10.-Prof . W. I. Xhomasof the University Uni-versity o Chicago, a sociologist authority of note, has produced a treatise on woman, which, after ignoring the Adam and Eve and numerous other theories "of the origin of humans, proposes a unique history of the relations of man and woman from the beginning of time to the present pres-ent day. Life itself in the beginning was female, and for countless count-less ages after man. was created from woman, the latter ruled him and was his superior, the professor holds in the essay, which is' contained in the current number of the American Journal of Sociology, issued from the University Univer-sity of Chicago press. Then came a transition in which man gained the upper hand, which has resulted, in the middle and higher classes, in the degeneration of the physical, moral and mental life of woman. . Man's superiority over woman in physical, moral and mental qualities, Prof. Thomas regards , as adventitious, adventi-tious, and hints that the time may come when the restoration restora-tion to the earlier state of affairs, with woman the dominating domi-nating force in the economic as well as social affairs, will take place. |
