| When girl has reached eighteen she IS old
enough to marry, says Dr., Slaughter. chairman
of the council of the London Eugenics Education
Society Men and women of the best types should
for the good Of the race-marry early. though
not too early. The healthiest children those
born when the mothers are between the ages OF
twenty and thirty The father should be a few
years older than the mother.
The trouble with the race. Or. Slaughter says. is
that women don't select their husbands with any
looking for material comforts and all sorts
OF artifcialities enter into the selection.
Rational choosing OF mates does not exclude

airy motives eliminated the right sort Of man
