Majer Leenard Pnrwln, a son of the I
author of "The Decent nf Man." urged
the experimental life of the X-rax, with'
the consent of the subject, te prevent
descendants from the feeble-minded and
habitual criminals. He stiggeted sug-1
regotien for the wastrel, the habitual
drunkard and "the werk-shv" te pre
vent the transmission of their traits te
future generations. j
Majer Darwin also urged that thet
round and fit anil superior peoples j

Induced te rale larger families. Il.u nl

"What is necexnrv Is te make it
ideeplv and widely felt that it Is both
I, Immoral and unpatriotic for couples

' the size of their families." he added.
Majer Darwin discussed State poll pell

lie said that some geed result might
be achieved In this waj . but that the
F-ubjeet was extremelj rltfBcult. b'caus"
I of the danger thnt premiums en pnrent

should be limited and net affect these

Majer Darwin said that he would en
courage limitation among fami'ies m
i such circumstances that the children did
J net have n fair chance of healthy
growth and education He uaid that the
'problem of dentin; with very large fam
ines having very small Incomes wa ex
tremely difficult, but added :
"I can only suggest that State and

"I hardly knew what te ugget. in

Discusses Use of X-ray
He advocated special taxes en the un
married and the ihildlrss, nnd said that
the feeble minded in the Tinted States
numbered between 300.000 and 400.000
He afllrued that nil who had studied the
t.xpes. in maintained. If men and
women of great natural gifts could he
Induced te mate, as some eugenists
wished, they would he likely te pro
duce n superior generation, possibly In
cluding persons of genius, according te
Majer Darwin, but their excellences m
a few geneintieus would become peeled
with the common attributes of man
kind. Prussian I'vpcriment Failed
He discussed the dns'lc eugenic ex
periment of the father of Frederick tin
tirent in recruiting his famous Potsdam
(linnt bv hiring and kidnapping men
of huge stature from nil ever Kurepi
and mating them -with lnrge women
This attempt tr, stock the Prussian
Arm with artificially bred seven-foet-irs
and eight -foetets did net make the
slightest impression cu pestent. , -,,
far as known, he said.
Majer Darwin calculated that if th
2,",M0 tallest men and women In Amer
lea were mated nnd Induced te raKe
two children mere than the normal fam
ily rate, nnd that If thl selection of the
tall was continued for centuries, the
uverege height of an American would
be Increased one inch everv liiOO years.
The attempt te rnle the nvernge level
of Intellect and character by breeding
experiments, he said, would be equally
futile.
"The qualities of selected parents
would be due te manv factors." he said,
"nnd these factors, like the money of
spendthrift descendants of mllenalres,
would tend te become mere nnd mere
widely scattered nmeng the people, in
accordance with an Inevitable law of
nature, the final result, we may be cer
tain, being disappointing te the eugen
ist. Majer Darwin 'aid thnt undeubtedl
persons of high character nnd intelli
gence limited their offspring in order te
insure them an education ami a fair
start In life. Hut he urged such per
