There are eugenis's and eugenists.

There are eugenis's and eugenists.
I am strongly impressed with this fact
as read the following utterances OF
the state charities commission OF I'LL
nois: o.
I'VE do not favor the enactment
into law Of the principles which the
eugenist has promulgated.
"They are worthy Of public thought
and consideration.
But whatever merit they contain,
to be effective. must be accepted vol
unfairly by an enlightened and quick
ened public conscience. and not fore
ed upon II by statutory enactment.
Much more can be accomplished
In this field by the dissemination OF
clearly demonstrated facts than by
attempts to impose by law upon the
public poorly understood or wholly
misunderstood principles Of human
conduct and life.
MANY eugenists are going to ex-
tremes.
They are responsible for the ridi-
cule into which a serious subject has
been plunged.
"The science OF eugenics IL a digni-
led. deep and serious study OF the
tremendous problems Of human life.

spectful consideration.
