safeguard to marriage; endeavor to
have medical inspector for the pub

to individual homes and not spread
to all pupils.
DR.. Wiley dwelled long on heredity
and criticized laws that allowed unh'
people to marry and continue a line
of deficient people. While not direc

his belief in the science to this extent
