Crighton Browne, president of the Sanitary Inspectors’ Congress, which is now being held at Sheffield, referring to eugenics, said love matejabt •vere more likely to improve the health of future generations than conventional alliances.

Children should he fed before they were crammed with

iiiowledge. He advocated the segregation of the ■riminal, the feeble-minded, plhtysicallj -infit children, and lifelong seclusion or the worst habitual criminals with-

out punitive imprisonment. Notwithstanding the bureaucratic insurance Act, he continued, invaluable help would be given by the measure for stamping out tuberuclosis. T.uoh, he opined, would disappear in two or three generations.
