No one can explain better What is Eugenics (Watts, Is.) than Mr. Leonard Darwin, who has for so long been President of the Eugenics Society. This little volume is very condensed, as the author says, but by no means "hard reading" Into it has gone the simplicity and clearness engendered by long thought : there is charity also, and common sense. The subject is a difficult one and cannot be discussed here, but on the broad principles of thinking ahead in racial regeneration and the better control of mental defectives, we are at one with Major Darwin. Every educated man and woman should understand the aims of eugenics and after reading this survey we think that prejudiced persons would be converted and believers would be confirmed in their work for a better
ordered world. * * * *
