A brief chapter must be devoted to the question of the conditions of divorce, which are really part of the conditions of marriage. Here, as in every other case, we must apply the universal and unchallengeable eugenic criterion: the conditions of divorce, like the conditions of marriage itself, must be such as best serve the future of the race.
"And," said he, "since unwisely, Miss Westfall, for eugenic reasons, we grant a certain freedom of marital choice to our princes since wisely or not as you will, the Salic Law does not, by an ancient precedent, obtain with us, and a woman may come in the line of succession, the danger to Ronador's little son, is, I think, apparent."
Justice to future generations, and protection of the state, demands at least this much. See the publications of the Eugenic Education Society, especially files of The Eugenics Review, 6 York Buildings, Adelphi, London. Indiana has an admirable law on this subject, and New Jersey has just added the same to her statutes.
The human element would absorb our interest, and as far as the joys and the miseries of sexual life entered into the drama, they would be accepted as a social background, just as the landscape is the natural background. A community which is æsthetically mature enough to appreciate Ibsen does not leave “The Ghosts” with eugenic reform ideas.
I recalled that when I had first heard of Atherton's "eugenic marriage," I had instinctively felt a prejudice against the very idea of such cold, calculating, materialistic, scientific mating, as if one of the last fixed points were disappearing in the chaos of the social and sex upheaval. Now, I saw that one great fact of life must always remain.

Last of all, it will attempt to condition the emotional reactions to respond to stimuli which shall insure eugenic mating naturally and without the intervention of legislation.
Such was the theme of his reflections on the route from the Hotel de Montgeron to that of Eugenic Gontie's, with whom he was engaged to dine with some of her friends, invited to celebrate her success of the evening before.
There can be little excuse, eugenic or otherwise, for not doing the utmost that modern medical science is capable of for their benefit. The Transmission and Hygiene of Syphilis The problem of the control of syphilis as a contagious disease is the least appreciated and the most important one in the whole field.
She received the news of Kirk's outbreak with composure. Privately, in her eugenic heart, she considered his presence superfluous now that William Bannister was safely launched upon his career. In the drama of which she was the self-appointed stage-director, Kirk was a mere super supporting the infant star.
