I have pre-WW2 text books... Only science in the science books.

On that note, let's have a reading from the Scopes trial textbook, Hunter's Civic Biology.

"...anatomically there is a greater difference between the lowest type of monkey and the highest type of ape than there is between the highest type of ape and the lowest savage..." -- Hunter, Civic Biology, pg.195

"Hundreds of families such as those described above exist to-day, spreading disease, immorality, and crime to all parts of this country. The cost to society of such families are very severe. They not only do harm to others by corrupting, stealing, or spreading disease, but they are actually protected and cared for by the state out of public money... They take from society, but give nothing in return. They are true parasites. If such people were lower animals, we would probably kill them off to prevent them from spreading..." -- pg.263

And here is something from the popular pre-WW2 textbook Applied Eugenics by Darwinians Popenoe and Johnson:
To-day, how is it? The inefficients, the wastrels, the physical, mental, and moral cripples are carefully preserved at public expense. The criminal is turned out on parole after a few years, to become the father of a family. The insane is discharged as "cured," again to take up the duties of citizenship. The feeble-minded child is painfully "educated," often at the expense of his normal brother or sister. In short, the undesirables of the race, with whom the bloody hand of natural selection would have made short work early in life, are now nursed along to old age.

The social heritage of the Negro has been described at great length and often with little regard for fact, by hundreds of writers. Only a glance can be given the subject here, but it may profitably be asked what the Negro did when he was left to himself in Africa. If the number of original contributions which it has made to the world's civilization is any fair criterion of the relative value of a race, then the Negro race must be placed very near zero on the scale. As a result of the careful measurement of many skulls, Karl Pearson has come to the following conclusions: "There is for the best ascertainable characters a continuous relationship from the European skull, through prehistoric European, prehistoric Egyptian, Congo-Gaboon Negroes to Zulus and Kafirs. The indication is that of a long differentiated evolution, in which the Negro lies nearer to the common stem than the European; he is nearer to the childhood of man."

I don't have the eugenics book. I found an archive copy of one of the ones in my collection. Biology, general and medical (1920) Author: McFarland, Joseph, 1868-1945 Subject: Biology Publisher: Philadelphia, London, W. B. Saunders company Year: 1920 Possible copyright status: NOT_IN_COPYRIGHT Language: English Which says pointedly on page 283: St Augustine AD 354 430 entertained a philosophical conception of creation that probably grew of his early Manichean education and speaks of creation of things by a series of causes Aquinas 1226 74 recalled St Augustine's teaching upheld it but the creation became a dogma of Church and interrupted scientific thought and investigation for many centuries.

If you interested in antique books I have an original copy of this one:

“Proverbial Philosophy” by Theologian Philosopher M. F. Tupper. It’s a brilliant work.

Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, “Here, let me take the speck out of your eye,” when all the time there is a plank in your own? You hypocrite! First take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
