OPPOSES LEGISLATION
TO PREVENT MARRIAGES
DR.. Alexander Graham Bell Says Ef-
fort to Keep Physically Unfit
From Wedding Is Unwarranted.
Percentage of Undesirables So
Small, He Says. They Are Mere
Drop in Ocean of Humanity.

That legislation to prevent the
physically unfit from marrying is un-
warranted was the belief expressed
by DR.. Alexander Graham Bell in an
address at the Y. N. c. a. last evening.
DR.. Bells address was the first OF a
series on "E.ugenics' which are to be
given at the association.
The less interference there is with
marriage the better off we shall be,
he declared Marriage is too sacred
an institution to he dealt with lightly.
Every man has a right to liberty
as to whom lie shall marry.
Unless marriages are positively m
furious to the community, such legisla-
ton is unjust. The percentage OF un-
desirabl is SO small-leSs than ! per
cent-as compared with the normal
population, that they are mere drop
in the ocean of humanity.
"Cndesirables, anyway. come from
the normal population. If we prevent
marriages of undesirables We will have
undesirables from the normal popula-
ton. If we kill them, they will be bred
again. Children of undesirables. any
way. show d tendency to revert to nor
NAL
the parties TO the marriages. said the
speaker in the course of his address.
1t is not within the realm Of lcgis-
lators or teachers. Teach the young
and let them apply them unhindered.'
Divided Into Glasses.
Dr. Bell first divided a theoretical
community into three classes-'desir-
ables,' 'normals" and "undesirables.'
He showed that the function of eu-
genics is not to eradicate the unde
sirables, or foster the desirables. but
to leave the former alone and inter
breed the latter with the normals.

about kiiilng off the defective classes.
But they are only 1 per cent OF the
whole, and if we should kill them off.
there would be that same l per cent in
the next generation, for they are gem

persons. Above the normal, we have
again l per cent of desirables--that is.
persons eXcelling in certain Qualifica-
tions. such as height or longevity. The
from marriages of desirables and nor
NAL persons a race which shall have
all the potency of the desirable par
ent.'
Dr. Bell showed by compiled tables o.
q famous American family that the
children of parents who attain ven
cradle age are. in turn, more likely tC
attain to a ripe old age than the nor
NAL person, and that the offspring o,
short-lived families are in more danger
of early death. He deduced from these
statistics a general rule that any pc
culiarity of the human race can be pre-.
served and developed by marriage OF
those possessing ii. Thus he proved
heredity almost boundless in its po
tentiality.
