EUGENIC CONSCIENCE
<, SCARCELY YET AWAKE. The eugenic conscience was scarcely as yet awake in the medical profession, said Professor J. A. Ryle, Regius Professor of Physic. Cambridge University, in a recent lecture. The family doctor was rarely prepared to give advice in matters connected with eugenic prognosis. He should be educated to consider the subject of eugenics as coming within the natural sphere of his activities. Never were the common people more anxious to be kept informed in respect of the fundamental things affecting their health, or more ready to accept advice with a scientific back-ftig. There should come into existence a national council embodying an alliance between medicine, eugenics and sociology whose funciion would be the direction, in an advisory capacity, of education and research in human genetics and social reorganisation.
