THE CURFEW!
At a meeting . held .in Ounedin the other evening, at which a New Zealand branch of the .London Eugenics Education Society was formed, Canon Curzon-Siggers said that science demanded that the insane, weakminded, and diseased should cease to produce their like. This view will be supported by all who have given eugenics more than superficial study. When the venerable Canon, however, advocated a curfew system, and the adult guardianship of children abroad in the streets after dark, he went a little beyond the realm of practical reform. The enforcement of parental control in the home is of the utmost importance; but, when it is sought to return to the Curfew Bell, enlightened citizens will revolt. The modern conceptions of British freedom are entirely opposed to anything which would savour of coercion.
