The public of all countries is more willin' l : to listen to eugenic .proposals than at any other previous period. The public are Ih>donring familiar . with rationalisation in the world oft hie business. Instead of being controlled by circumstances business men take steps to control circumstances so that t.hev happen according to plan. The highest .l'"nitaries of the church are now spoking to open the wav for the eueenist. Thov have removed the taboo which surrounded all that confer nod tlm source of human fertility and the nmasses of reproduction. 'Problems which formerly wore discussed by medical men in private are now the sublet of o’> r 'u do'hoto in church conorewos. The churoh is nnvjnir the n">v for the p.w»onint t That is all to tho »n»<] end vet. T SUiSneet that tho LlT—ti'i'v of i'Hinranc.o which surrounded the oonree ohbhuman life did serve some utilitarian purpose.’’-i-Sir Arthur Keith.
