NOT READY YET.

Anne Crawford FieXner, who wrote
The Marriage Game" play about how
TO keep husbands once they were got
rather than how to choose them. thinks
we arc not ready for eusenics yet.
Its a nice dream" she said, but IT
will never come true until the state S
attitude toward the individual and the in
dviduaIs toward the state changes. NO
man is going TO stop now and CONSIDER
that for the good Of the state, or for thc
good of posterity. he ought TO marry sucn
or such a woman. What has posterity
done for me- he says. The same is true
of women. What does the state DO tor
me? Does il help me rear the children
or give me encouragement to bear them?
It's none of the states business what KIND
Of children ! have"
Subsidizng motherhood. Mrs. FleXner
thinks. would be one OF the things that
would bring about feeling OF response
biity on the part of parents and would
make for better children.
