Some such effort as this has been made by the Galton Laboratory of National Eugenics in Great Britain. The Children's Bureau reports only incidentally present this impressive evidence. They fail to coordinate it.
'A officer niver wants nobody to ate but himself. Then, 'Take thot! he yills, and flings his whiskey straight into Smith's face. "Av cour-rse, we ixpected to see him smash Galton to smithereens, him being dhrunk Galton, I mane but he stood still as a post, sir, and tur-rned white as a sheet.
When in any nation the standard of intellect and the number of intellectual men have increased, we may expect from the law of the deviation from an average, that prodigies of genius will, as shewn by Mr. Galton, appear somewhat more frequently than before. In regard to the moral qualities, some elimination of the worst dispositions is always in progress even in the most civilised nations.
But the study of Nature leads us further and, as Galton said, "Eugenics rests on bringing no more individuals into the world than can be properly cared for, and these only of the best stocks." That is to say that the only instrument by which eugenics can be made practically effective in the modern world is birth-control.
We want a hand in running things, and we want a portion of rum served at meals, as every decent ship allows. We want " "Oh, so it's drink, not eating," satirized Madden. "Rum's our right as sailormen," mumbled Galton. "Rum in this climate?" Ridicule tinctured the American's tone. "Smith, I believe you once proposed to write an article on Climate and Alcoholism."

This last Deane Elmer always spoke of as his hobby, but we may doubt whether all his interests were not hobbies in the same sense. He is the natural descendant of those earlier amateur scientists the adjective conveys no reproach of the nineteenth century, among whom we remember such striking figures as those of Lord Avebury and Sir Francis Galton.
He then remarks that, when Galton comes to the point where it is necessary to advance from theory to the duties the theory suggests, he "subsides into the meekest conservatism." "Duty is plain; we say we ought to do it we want to do it; but we cannot. The law of God urges us on; but the law of society holds us back. The boldest course is the safest.
"You haven't told me I oughtn't to go out till the blizzard lets up," he said presently. "No, I haven't, Mr. Tembarom," she answered. "You're one of the kind that mean to do a thing when they've made up their minds. It'll be a nice bit of money if you can keep the page." "Galton said he'd give me a chance to try to make good," said Tembarom.
