Speaker Recommends Fl Years
as the Limit.
President Of EugenIc Society Explains
to English Royal Commission
His Views on Marriage
Certificate of Fitness

London.-The eugenic view Of mat
rimony, including the proposal to es-
tablish new age limit for marriage,
was explained to the roysi commits
sion on divorce by Mr.. Montague
Crackenthorpe, X. c., president of
the Eugenic Society.
In this view. he said, marriage was
an institution designed, amongst other
things. for the continuance of the
human race. 1t should. therefore, be
regulated by the community. which
had a great interest in the children
born into It,
One-half Of eugenic teaching was
concerned with the production of the
flt, the other with the elimination of
the unfit. So when certain defects
were present before marriage in one
of the intending parties the marriage
should not take place, and IL they de-
veloped after marriage 1t should be
dissoluble at the instance of the un-
blemished party.
1t is absolutely cruel that a man
should marry girl OF whom he knows
very little-except that he has met
her In society and regarded her as a
charming object-and shortly after
marriage she should show herself OF
unsound mind and has to be put away
and that man is made a celibate
against his will.
AS to the equality of the sexes, II
was contended that there should be
perfect equality. but biologically the
sexes were not and never could be
made equal. The sexes started equal
but with adolescence they differen
tiated and nature had ordained that.
The sexes were not equal. for you
must consider consequences. If a sin
gle act on the part of a man be fol
lowed by the same legal consequence
as misconduct on the part of wife
divorce will be made too easy" for g
little oollusion would always bring

effect on mentally unstable people
and caused the sending of many to

them anti-social and insane. He did
not find that the children of drunkards
were feeble minded. but IL the in
fluence existed for two or three gen.
erations disease manifested itself.
DR.. Chambers. joint editor of the
Journal Of Mental Science, said that
the remedy lay not In making insan.
fly a ground fer divorce, but in pre-
venting the marriage of the unfit.
The know edge that insanity was a
ground Tor divorce would have a pre-
judicial effect on the mental health of
some people, and would distress the
minds and retards the recoveries of
many of the insane who were under
care.
The last witness of the day was DR..
G. H. Savage, the famous mental ex-
pert, who has forty years experience
in the treatment of the insane. He
had written to medical officers Of
asylums asking whether insanity was
a justif1able ground for divorce. re-
ceiving eighty-two replies. These
were: Yes, 81; no, 20; Indifferent. 2.
He himself thought that. despite
the existence of very large num-
Der of cases of individual hardship.
there was no ground for immediate
action.
