MEN OF MANLIER MOULD.
REQUIRED BY THE EMPIRE.
CARICATURE OF THE IDEAL.
London, July 24
At to day’s sitting of the Medical Conference at Brighton, Dr Campbell, of London, read a paper on "Eugenics.” It was theoretically possible, he said, to breed a race of supermen and convert the present man, who was a mere caricature of the ideal, into a being perfect in form and supreme in moral and intellectual endowment. We wanted to raise up a race immune from disease. If we desired to retain our vast possessions we must raise a manlier breed, and a better ruling stock than those now directing the destinies of the Empire. We wanted not only physique, but also moral and intellectual capacity.
