EUGENICS IN PENNSYLVANIA

The operation of Pennsylvania s
new marriage-license law, which pro-
vides a list of about twenty intimate
ly personal questions to be answered
by prospective bride and groom under
oath, brings the whole question OF
eugenics again into editorial notice
Some observers doubt the wisdom of
the Pennsylvania law, although they
unhesitatingly advocate the eugenic
movement as serious social effort
which has come to stay and 'to exer-
else an increasingly beneficial influ-
ence" on our national life. On the
other hand, there are those who have
only superior contempt for .the
apostles of eugenics" and point out as
the fatal error of their theories that
human beings can not be mated scien-
tlfically" as animals are mated. Ac-
cordlng to press reports, PennsyI-
vanlas law, which went into effect on
August l, prohibits the issuance of a
marriage license to persons having
transmissible disease and to imbeciles.
persons under guardianship and per-
sons of unsound mind. The marriage
OF first cousins is forbidden, further
more, and to secure license a man
must be able to show he can support
family. Finally, no licenses will be
issued to persons under the influence
OF liquors or narcotics" A particular
objection to this statute, voiced by the
Washington Post, is that it's enforce
ment seems to be left to the mar
r1age-license clerks" Nor should
they be surprized, The Post saws. to
