HE Views on Marriage

London.-The eugenic view Of mat
r1mony, including the proposal to es
tablish a new age limit for marriage
was explained to the royal commits
sion on divorce by Mr.. Montague
Crackenthorpe, X. c.. president Of
the Eugene 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 Il.
One-half Of eugenIc teaching was
concerned with the production Of the

were present before marriage in one

that must hinder the community's
progress.
1t is absolutely cruel that q man
should marry q girl Of whom he knows

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 IL made q cellbate

AS to the equality Of the sexes, It
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 difieren-
tiated and nature had ordained that.
The sexes were not equal. for you

them anti-social and insane. He did
not find that the children Of drunkards
were feeble minded, but II the In
fiuence 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-
ity a ground for divorce. but in pre-
venting the marriage Of the unfit.
The knowledge that insanity was a
ground for 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
q justifiable ground for divorce, re.
ceiving eighty-two replies. These
were: Yes, 81; no, 90; Indifferent. 2.
