Heredity In Relation To Eugenics Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Right to Be Well Born: Or Horse Breeding in Its Relation to Eugenics While I take only a bird's eye View of this wide field, over which my experiences have led me, my earnest hope and prayer is that I may cite practical illustrations in the animal kingdom which will open the eyes of the young to a clear understanding of their serious duties to the state, to them selves and to their offspring. It may lead them to a study of the subject and'to a perusal of the writings of some of our well known eugenic scholars, like Dr. C. B. Davenport, Dr. C. L. Reed, Dr. David Starr Jordan, and others, who have gone scientifically into the subject of heredity, in its every phase, with a microscopic ex amination. If they are convinced of the logic of these scientists' arguments, let them help along the good work by putting into practice their convictions, and join us in the advancement of the cause of eugenics. I feel certain that every sensible man and woman, who has given attention to this subject, must acknowledge that it is the all vital question of the hour; that it touches the foundations of society and the stability of our country.
