old world generally, where there is no immigration problem, offers the 

 best opportunities for the study of Eugenics. Our own country is in 

 a constant flux, dynamic; there is no predicting the vocation or career 

 of the son of even the humblest citizen. Uneducated parents may have 

 ideals, and by giving- the son a higher education may enable him to be- 

 come a superior man. At present we do not realize how much talent 

 is submerged, needing only suitable life conditions — a proper environ- 

 ment — to rise to the surface. 



Galton's Memories of My Life, published in 1909, two years before 

 his death, is a book well worth reading. From this autobiography we 

 may again learn, that which stands out strongly in all his work, — that 

 great minds are concerned with fundamental causes.
