DISABLED SOLDIERS MARRY IN ENGLAND

As soldiers who were disabled at the front are likely to be of superior eugenic quality, it is important to their nation that their disabilities should not prevent tliem from leaving descendants. The English Eugenics Review, which has interested itself in this problem, publishes some interesting facts in its last issue. Of 400 blinded soldiers entering St. Dunstan's Hostel, 144 were previously married and 290, or rather more than twothirds, were single. Of these single men 65, or 18 per cent., have married since their disablement. It is noted that tho wives are to be considered in every case B9 extremely suitable, and almost'without exception as unusually good looking. It is evident, therefore, that the idea [suggested recently in England of finding wives for blinded soldiers among those girls who are physically so unattractive as otherwise to be destined to celibacy is not being carried out.
