MARRIAGES OF MINDS
LAW OF FUTURE-ROSS

MADISON-Mental tests for both
men and women before marriage will
be compulsory within the next decade
or two, in the belief of Prof. Edward
A. Ross, sociologist of the University
of Wisconsin. The tests, he said, will
be calculated to produce children of
greater mental vigor, and will make
for greater happiness in married life.
Parents give their children their
mental characteristics as well as their
physical traits" Prof. Ross said.
There is no reason in the world why
standards of intelligence should not
be set. The mentality of an offspring
can be forecast by study of couple
in much the same manner as physical
characteristics, such as the color OF
the eyes and hair can be predicted.
with the offspring of the mentally
inferior swiftly increasing a stricter
marriage code must be enforced. The
tendency of the present generation is
downward in intelligence. Many chill
dren are almost invariably the rule in
families of inferior mentality, and
just the reverse in the case of people
who could give their children herit-
age of intellectual ability"
