Galton thinks that inferior
quality of the offspring OF genius
is due to the fact that human
beings are really mongrels and
are apt In their children to throw
back" to some inferior ancestor.
He reaches the positive conclu-
sion that with proper marriage
restrictions a race of geniuses
could be developed to govern the
world.
Be thankful that nature thwarts
any such scheme for breeding
geniuses and dividing human
beings into permanent classes like
dogs at q bench show.
The wise woman marries the
foolish man, the genius marries
the silly girl, the giant selects a
wife four feet high, Fat marries
Thin, and thus the equilibrium Of
the race Is preserved.

her part. The funds for this work
are provided by the sale of Red Cross
Seals. They provide a simple, mex

whereby each individual may do his

The proceeds of the sale will be
used both for the campaign to pro-
