Francis Galton now calls "Eugenics," in the mating of the members, and there was also a limitation of offspring. Beyond these points the inner secrets of the community do not appear to be very profound; its atmosphere was almost commonplace, it was made up of very ordinary people.
Galton, show interesting varieties in the conduct of mental operations. Thus we speak of 'vision' in a poet, or novelist, and it seems likely that men of genius 'see' their fictitious characters and landscapes, while people of critical temperament, if they attempt creative work, are conscious that they do not create, but construct.
The study of these possibilities constitutes the new science of eugenics, which its founder, Francis Galton, defined as the study of "those agencies which humanity through social control may use for the improvement or the impairment of the racial qualities of future generations." Dr. Kellogg defines it as "taking advantage of the facts of heredity to make the human race better."
"Do ye think she'd overlook the whole west half o' th' sea, Galton?" "She weel run against us eef she cooms thees way." "But she might not know we are in distress?" "Disthress, is it ye're sayin'? We're not in disthress, ye loon. This is th' happiest day o' me loife." Leonard turned to the Irishman.
We're going!" As he moved down to the doorway amidship that led below, he heard Galton mumble: "Yes, we'll be going, Hi think, down some sea sorpint's scaly throat, but th' tug an' th' dock'll stay 'ere."

"I've 'card as 'ow this was a great place for derelicks." "'Ow could she be a derelick," argued Mulcher, "w'en she 'as so much canvas aloft? You run up on derelicks an' git sunk, ever' cove knows that." "I carn't think of hall these things at once!" retorted Galton. "Perhaps she ees the Vulcan under sail with deesabled engines?" suggested Deschaillon.
You'll have an opportunity at Galton to rely upon yourself. You'll begin in the ruck. You'll be one of many who struggle year in year out with an ordinary parish. There won't be any paragraphs about St. Luke's in the Church papers. There won't be any enthusiastic pilgrims.
"Say," said Tembarom, reflectively, "doesn't it seem queer to think of a fellow having to keep up his spirits because he's fallen into three hundred and fifty thousand a year? You wouldn't think he'd have to, would you?" "But you find he has?" queried Galton, interestedly. Tembarom's lifted eyes were so honest that they were touching. "I don't know where I'm at," he said.
"You'll find out when you go to England." "Well, I'm not supposing that you don't know about how many billion things I'll have to find out when I go to England." "There will be several thousand," replied Galton moderately; "but you'll learn about them as you go on."
