THEORY IS WRONG
Extreme School Of Eugenists At
tackled by Doctor SaIeeby.
Based on Wrong PremIse-Takino
Children From Unnatural Environ
ment 10 Not interfering With
Natural Selection.

Liverpool-The better dead" or
extreme school OF eugenists has been
sharply attacked at a national wei
fare Of infancy" meeting here by DR.
c. w. Saleeby, a pupil of Francis Gal
ton, the founder OF eugenics While
heredity does bear on the prob
lens OF health, vitality and longevity,
1t is not said the doctor, all essen
tial and all important Environment
Is quite as important. He accused
those Of the better dead" school of
blocking attempts to improve the con-
d1tions OF human life on the ground
that such attempts interfered with
natural selection.
In fighting against the causes of in
FAINT mortality. Doctor Saleeby denied
that natural selection was being inter
fered with.
Conditions initiated in the slums
and public houses are not natural" he
said They are hideously unnatural"
Eugenists of the extreme school
were accused of forgetting the impor-
SehAlNC VI hhI IuI y DClOIS III III, vi pre-
natal Influences due to environment
They assumed that 1t was simply a
question of heredity from birth, when
it has been proved that infections and
the forces of malnutrition have been
playing on the child for months before
birth. The nurture of the mother is
therefore just as important as If the
child had been fed on gin and pickles
after birth.
There are no statistics and no ar
guments," declared the speaker, as
regards the relative importance of ma
ture and nurture, which seems TO rec
ognize the fact that everyone of US
was alive, or should have been alive,
at least nine months before we were
born, and that nurture was playing
upon heredity during the whole of that
period with Il degree of power which
1t will never be able to display at a
later period"
Alcohol could be found in a baby
born of a tipping mother, the speaker
continued, but this was not heredity;
it was racial poison working out as
ante-natal malnutrition 1t therefore
followed that the nurture of the fu-
ture patent was essential for real
eugenics.
Doctor Saleeby, after criticizing the
biologists who spoke without any prac-
tical experience with either children
or mothers, laid down the following
proposals for the improvement of in
FAINT life:
l. All motherhood to be regarded as
a first charge on the resources of a
nation.
2. Government authority to look
after maternity
3. The handing over of all mater
nifty cases, regardless of wealth or so
cial conditions, to the public health
authority.
4. The establishment of maternity
centers, both prenatal and postnatal,
throughout the country.
All this Doctor Saleeby concluded
is fundamental eugenics, and is far
more easily feasible than any question
of breeding for genius or of deciding
who shall marry whom and who shall
not marry whom.

Money Talks.

Perry Lukens. a well-known New
York advertising man, has discovered
that he is philosopher. He mounted
a weighing machine the other day and,
dropping cent in the slot, waited for
the dial to indicate the exact number
of pounds of avoirdupois tissue he was
carrying around. But the money stuck
and the burned thing wouldn't work.
And not having another penny in
change Mr.. Lukens was about to give
the atmosphere the once over. sulphu-
rousIy speaking, Of course, when he
noticed that youngster had hoped
on the weighing machine. Il don't
weigh anything said the little fellow
when the dial failed to move. That
was because he did not have a penny
to put in the SLOT explained the ad-
vertlslng man. Right here Mr.. Lu-
kens got his philosophical inspiration.
How this applies to every day life
when man hasn't anything" solilo-
quized he. No money-therefore he
does not weigh anything" Which are
profound words of philosophy, espe-
cialiy if you cannot make a touch.
