Euqenics and Enulish Science

Eugenics may be described as the
study of agencies that may improve
or impair the racial qualities of flu
ture generations, either physically or
mentally, the declared aim being the
retirement Of the human race. The
science was founded by Sir Francis
Gallon us2o-1911), n famous English
statistician, anthropologist, and trnv.
eier. he distinguished himself by his
remarkable work in anthropometry or
measurements of the human body. For
some years he conducted q system of

kensington Museum, London, compiled
from measurements taken from visi-
tors to the museum. He founded the
study OF eugenics at University col.
