THE FULITITY OF EUGENICS

Fugenics seems to have pretty we'll run its course
though it is still somewhat of fad Not that 1t dld not
have has not considerable merit but the fad part
consisted in exploiting babies who happened to be more
or less nearly perfect physically, without paying any att
enton to the real object expressed in the term Eugenc
or better born
Another feature of the affair, which was genuine
fadism was the pointing out by the wise ones that we
looked after our CATTLE hogs and horses our dogs
to pet the most perfect Breeds but neglected to do as
much for children" They did not stop to consider
the means we took to improve our stock and certainly
had they done So none would have recommended using
the same MEANS especially about their own babies
"A sound mind in a sound body" is a combnatlOnf
rather unfortunately rare though most devouty to bel
sought after for somehow nature has way OF balancing
things giving the strongest minds to the weakest bodes
and providing splendid physiques with but average or
less than average minds
The Spartans heroicaly killed their puny children and
the result was spendidy developed physical nation
race of soldiers whose achievements were great on the
battlefield and minus quantity in all peaceful pursuits
brief glance at list OF some OF the greatest hgufeS IN
history who physically unfit shows how great may
have been Sparas loss from the destruction OF that class

standard in English poetry, died of consumption when
but "a History tells Alexander the Great was small
of stature and Napoleon whose military genius has
never been exceled was midget barely five feet two
inches President Roosevelt a sckly nearslghted
child who would have been killed in Sparta The list
might be prolonged Indefinitely.
Another eugenc fad is that families should be limited,
or that poverty should be bar to marriage, Yet had
this been the law Thomas Lincoln, wandering wagon
dweer would not have been permitted to marry and our
own immortal president would not have eisted What
prospects it has been asked had the early orphaned Clay
or Garfield the posthumous Jackson and the fatheresS
Hamilton?
Had the size of families been limited we would not
have had Richard Wagner the ninth child nor Benjamin
Franklin the fifteenth John Wesley was also the fit-

These are but few taken at random from list that is
practically endless.
This brings us back to the true eugencs and the i'm
possibility of making it practical With the animal race
and in the vegetable kingdom the practice of inbreeding
carried on until type established that produces true

this can never be done. Why then Eugenics?
