BEST MARRIAGE

Declares Speaker on Eugenics

| Speaking at the opening os the
Imothers' conference N Philade lphia
recently, Dr, Macmillan p. D. Grosz-
mann, educational director Of HE Ma

prevention OF Exceptional Children,
said that after all Is said and done,
love remains the best guide to mar
fiage. &
I Sane eugenics Is q vital and neces-
sary thing, Doctor Groszmann said,
hut up to the present, It cannot CONS
pete with true. refined love as a guide
to marriage. Only away back in their
minds, the speaker told several humid
red mothers, teachers and social
workers who attended the meeting,
women must remember that they. new
er marry single man, hut mis- whole
family. In other words, they marry
into a new stock, and the condition
and characteristics OF this new stock
are bound to come forward In their
children.
!. Not nearlyyso many children suffer
from hereditary ailments, however,
the physician said as from Hhe foi=
lowing four causes Birth after5 their
mother has passed 355ryeaFs Of age;
reluctant parents; Lie in apartment
houses and hotels and unhyg ienic
conditions at birth III

comes down to this, however, said
Doctor Groszmann, 1--WE must teach
our children that parenthood IS SEN

ienthood is Impressed upon them they
will not think Of marriage as an +,ins
clean thing, a thing to Joke at-but

God to man. And they will prepare

for their respective vocations..
