Black and white illustration of a tree with a thick trunk and lots of branches and roots. Across the branches is the text “Eugenics”. The text on the side of the tree trunk reads “Eugenics is the self direction of human evolution”. The text under the illustration reads “Like a tree eugenics draws its materials from many sources and organizes them into an harmonious entity”. The following words are written in the tree’s roots: “anatomy, physiology, biology, psychology, genetics, mental testing, anthropometry, history, anthropology, geology, archeology, ethnology, geography, law, politics, statistics, economics, biography, genealogy, education, sociology, religion, psychiatry, surgery, and medicine”

6 police officers standing side by side on a sidewalk in front of a building with large windows. All of the officers are wearing an army green uniform with heavy army green body armor with the word “police” across the chest and helmets. They are each holding a black long gun pointed to the ground which is strapped around their torsos.
