(Revived Lmpo Night 10.30 o'clock.) LONDON, September 4. Sir J. Cnghton-Browne, President of the Sanitary Inspector's Congrouj at Sheffield, referring to the subject of eugenics, said that love matches, were more likely to improve tho health, of future .generations than conventional alliances. Ho lamented tho fact j that rank, social influence, and considerations oi' cash were the dominant, marriage factors to-day. Sanitation, should, ho said, precede and not follow education. Children should hefed before they were crammed with; knowledge. He advocated the segregation of criminal, feeble-minded and physically unfit children; and the lifelong seclnsiom of the worst habitual criminals, without punitive imprisonment. Notwithstanding that it was bureaucratic, tho Insurance Act would be an invaluable help in stamping out tuberculosis, which would disappear in two or three generations.
