THE HUMAN SPECIES
HOW TO IMPROVE IT. A SCIENTIST'S VIEWS. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Received 4, 0.30 p.m. London, September 4. Sir .T. Crighton Browne, president of the Sanitary Inspectors' Congress, which is now being held at Sheffield, referring to eugenics, said love marches were more likely to improve the health of future generations than conventional alliances. He lamented the fact that rank, social influences and cash considerations were dominant marriage factors. Sanitation should precede, not follow, education. Children should be fed before they were crammed with knowledge. He advocated the segregation of the criminal, the feeble-minded, physically unfit children, and lifelong seclusion for the worst habitual criminals without punitive imprisonment. Notwithstanding tho bureaucratic Insurance Act. he continued, invaluable help would 'be given by the measure for stamping out tuberculosis, which, he opined, would disappear in two or three generations.
