358 J. SANDERS 



This is an extremely difficult task, for the initial success depends on the 

 manner in which public opinion has been enlightened on the matter. There 

 are plenty of examples to show that untimely and inaccurate information 

 has often had the opposite effect. I need only mention psycho-analysis and 

 the rejuvenating cure of Steinach. 



19. If genetics and eugenics are to make good progress it is imperative that 

 there should be in the different countries well equipped institutes where genetics 

 and eugenics may be practised in all their ramifications. 



Admittedly, several institutes have been formed in Europe in imitation 

 of the Eugenics Record Office of the Carnegie Institution under the leader- 

 ship of Dr. Davenport. In this connection mention should be made of the 

 Lundborgs Institute in Upsala, Rudin's in Munich, Fischer in Berlin-Dahlem, 

 Mjoen in Oslo, Govaerts in Brussels, Schlaginhaufen in Zurich; in Lon- 

 don the Eugenics Society is working under Darwin and Pearson's Institute. 

 The Science Academy of Leningrad appears to possess a heredity institute 

 directed by Philipschenko. 



20. For Europe it is desirable, even necessary, that one central institute be 

 created where the results of all research work should be collected and published, 

 where every investigator may obtain information and where the general lines on 

 which investigations should be carried out are indicated. 



Briefly this general bureau should in future become the centre of all 

 genetic and eugenic research work in Europe. This will primarily depend 

 on the willingness of eugenists to cooperate and also on the financial basis 

 of such a central institution. 



21. Women should in the first place again be won over to the idea of a large 

 family. Clothes should not be so made as to render pregnancy impossible be- 

 cause fashion decrees a slim line. 



Nowadays women prefer fashion to children, for large families are inimical 

 to the slim figure, as every pregnancy increases the chance that the body 

 will not regain its former shape. Fashion designers should, therefore, co- 

 operate by introducing other models which do not emphasize slenderness. 



22. We must get rid of the idea of feminism in its old form, according to 

 which woman should be man's equal in every respect, professionally, politically, 

 as regards salary, etc. 



The theory of this so-called equality of the sexes is absolutely incorrect 

 not only physiologically and biologically, but also socially and politically. 

 Woman is indeed a man's equivalent, but they each have their own particu- 

 lar task to perform in the world. The woman's main duty always has been 

 and always will be the family. The University woman must know, under- 

 stand, feel that marriage and children represent, after all is said and done,
