Excerpt from EugenicsBut it does not. Nor does eugenics propose to do violence in any other way to any humanitarian or Christian effort. Eugenics does not mean, as some have imagined, compulsory or government-made marriages. Some people have thought that eugenics was some half-baked scheme to breed the human race as we breed domestic animals, and to make a race of pug-noses or blond hair or blue eyes or any other fancy that some master of ceremonies should conceive. Nor does it mean a reduction in the proportion of love marriages. On the contrary, it means an increase of such marriages. Just as soon as men and women come to see and admire, as in ancient Greece, the ideal of physical perfection they will fall in love on that basis, as nature always intended that they should. There will be less interference with love marriages through ambition to acquire property or title.Eugenics is simply an application of modern science to improve the human race. "But," says the skeptic, "that will take millions of years!" Nevertheless, I reassert that it is easily practical to alter and improve the human race and to do so in a very short time.This Is The New Optimism Of Eugenics and it is based on solid evidence. Until recently no one realized how fast the race could improve if it would. Even Galton himself, when he first proposed eugenics, was under the impression that we inherit from our ancestors in a way which would make possible improvement extremely slow. He put forward as a theory (what we now know to be incorrect) that each child gets half of its nature from its parents, one quarter from its grandparents, one-eighth from its great grandparents, one-sixteenth from its great great grandparents, and so on indefinitely back, the sum total of those fractions being, when added up to infinity, just unity or the whole inheritance.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Two good supplements are 'For The Public Good' by Belle Boggs and 'The Social Direction of Evolution: An Outline of the Science of Eugenics' by William Kellicott. No study of Eugenics is complete without research of key individuals involved including: Francis Galton, Herbert Spencer, Karl Pearson, Harry H. Laughlin, Charles B. Davenport, as well as such institutions as The American Eugenics Society, the American Breeders Association, the Pan-American International Exposition. A good secondary resource is Stefan Kuhl's 'The Nazi Connection: Eugenics, American Racism & German National Socialism).
5 of 9 people found the following review helpful. A short and bad book By Dalton C. Rocha I read online, this very short and bad book. This very short book was writen by American economist and eugenist Irving Fisher (1867 - 1947). In fact, to be very short, with just about 26 pages of text, is the only quality of this book. Repeated eugenics arguments and believes. Just a few things with use are in this book.And in fact, God's hand cursed the Irving Fisher. His young daughter, Miss Margaret Fisher, became mad with schizophrenia in 1918. Looking for a cure, Irving Fisher went to Dr. Henry Andrews Cotton (1876-1933). This famous doctor was a quack. Irving Fisher, the author of this book had his daughter transferred to Dr. Henry Cotton. This quack attributed her condition to a "marked retention of fecal matter in the cecal colon with marked enlargement of the colon in this area" for which she was subjected to a series of useless colonic surgeries before dying of a infection, got from these useless surgeries, in 1919.Years later God's hand went against the Dr Henry Andrews Cotton. His hundreds of victims, included even his own sons, Henry Jr. '30 and Adolph '31, stripped of their teeth as a "prophylactic measure" prior to their matriculation at Princeton University. Both killed themselves, some years later.Being so short and being writen by Irving Fisher (1867 - 1947), I must give two stars for it. If this book would be bigger, I would give one star for it. I'll repeat: shortness is the only quality of this bad book.
