Download or read book Applied Eugenics Classic Reprint written by Paul Popenoe and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Applied Eugenics The science of eugenics consists of a foundation of biology and a superstructure of sociology. Galton, its founder, em phasized both parts in due proportion. Until recently, how ever, most sociologists have been either indifferent or hostile to eugenics, and the science has been left for the most part in the hands Of biologists, who have naturally worked most on the foundations and neglected the superstructure. Although we are not disposed to minimize the importance of the biological part, we think it desirable that the means of applying the biological principles should be more carefully studied. The reader of this book will, consequently, find only a summary explanation of the mechanism of inheritance. Emphasis has rather been laid on the practical means by which society may encourage the re production of superior persons and discourage that of inferiors.

Download or read book Eugenics Classic Reprint written by Irving Fisher and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Eugenics But 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.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1920 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XXIV. Wise Begetting. I quote from a little book, which should be familiar to all, a translation of part of the great Indian epic, the Mahabharata. This book is called The Lord's Song, or Song Celestial, and is a book of devotion and profound philosophy. "The elements, the conscious life, the mind, The unseen vital force, the nine strange gates Of the body, and the five domains of sense; Desire, dislike, pleasure and pain, and thought Deep-woven, and persistency of being; These all are wrought on matter by the soul!" I do not know that we could put in so few words any clearer or more complete statement of the potential of each human being, and this is especially pertinent at this particular point in our study of Eugenics. If it is so certainly possible for the soul to so impress matter, to work upon it such wonderful results, what are the limits of the possibilities of father-mother who consciously and intentionally set about the building of a body for the indwelling of a divine spirit? With that wonderful possibility before us we degrade our power to the most inconsequent and frivolous and even debasing uses, or if not that, we simply approach the matter of procreation as a necessary incident to our physical living and let its results come by mere chance without our design or intention. It is not thus that the soul works, and yet so far away have we journeyed from the real purpose of life, the real shrine of the spirit, that one who suggests that the souls of man and woman should enter earnestly into the matter of procreation, is apt to be considered a little less than a lunatic and certainly a visionary dreamer in the minds of men. Yet in our daily experiences with ourselves, as we begin to study our own reality, we find day by...

We shall some day have a eugenic sociology, to which the first part of this vol ume seeks to contribute: and the sociology and poli tics which have not yet discovered that man is mortal will go to their own place.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The' Progress of Eugenics IN offering this little book to the reader I must make acknowledgment for the invaluable help I have received in eugenic propaganda, since I left medical practice to follow Galton, ten years ago, to the National Council of Public Morals, which, for instance, granted me its platform in the autumn of 1912, for a public course of eight lectures in the Holborn Hall, London, much of which is here included; and to the Managers of the Royal Institution, for the privilege of return ing to the subject here, yet again, in the course of lectures on The Progress of Eugenics, this day completed. Let it also be recorded, for Great Britain, in this decennial volume of modern eugenics, that, at last, thanks to the help of Major Leonard Darwin, President of the Eugenics Education Society, I have succeeded in getting a reprint of Galton's Hereditary Genius and that, though the inebriates Act is yet to be, yesterday the Mental Deficiency Act, 1913, and the Order of the Local Government Board making ophthalmia neonatorum notifiable, came into Operation.
