Some English Suggestions for Eugenics 
At the Institute of Hygiene (London), 
Dr. Murray Leslie lectured on ‘‘The 
Disabled Soldier; His Future and His 
Economic Value.’ He said ‘that the 
British casualties in the present war up 
to February 1, numbered 550,000, 
whereas the total casualties during the 
whole of the South African War were 
under 50,000. These numbers would 
be greatly increased as the war went on, 
and it was estimated that for every 
thousand deaths recorded, there would 
be 200 cases of permanent disablement. 
The mere fact of a man’s being a cripple, 
or even deformed, would in no wise 
detract from his potentialities as one of 
the fathers of the future generation. 
The present marriage rate was the 
highest ever known. Those marriages 
for the most part, had been confined to 
young, strong, and active soldiers, 
although there were numerous instances 
in which our girls had been only too 
delighted to marry the men of their 
288 
choice after they had been disfigured 
or disabled. Women, as a sex, had an 
aversion for deformities of all sorts, 
but that would probably not hold good 
to anything like the same extent if the 
young couple had met each other 
before disfigurement took place. From 
that point of view war engagements, as 
well as war marriages, were greatly to 
be recommended. Admiration for our 
disabled war heroes should be encour- 
aged. It had been proposed to found 
a League for the marrying of wounded 
heroes. It was doubtful if such a 
scheme could be made a practical one, 
but there was much to be said for the 
principle. The economic question was 
the difficulty, yet how many women 
there were in this country with com- 
fortable incomes who spent large sums 
on pampered lapdogs.—London cor- 
respondence of the Journal of the 
American Medical Association, May 6, 
1916.
