THE INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION OF 



EUGENICS 



As has been noted in Science, the Inter- 

 national Commissioai of Eugenics met ait Brus- 

 sels on Saturday, October 7, and Monday, 

 Ootober 9. According to the report in Eugeni- 

 cal News, there were present Major Leonard 

 Darwin, chairman; Dr. Almert Gtovaerts, sec- 

 retary; Dr. Van Herwerden of Utrecht, Hol- 

 land; Dr. Winner, Professor of psychiatry, 

 Copenhagen; Dr. Jon Alfred Mjoen of the 



Windei-en Laiboratorium, near Christianiia ; M. 

 Lucien March of "Statisltique generale de la. 

 France," and Dr. Pinard, President of the 

 Societe Frangaise d'Eugenique, Paris; and Dr. 

 C. B. Davenport, of Cold Spring Harbor. 



It was voted unanimously to invite German 

 delegates to the commission. It was decided 

 provisionally to hold the next meeting of the 

 commission at Lund, 'Sweden, and the next 

 meetings of the Eugenics Congress in 1924 at 

 Praigue. These decisions are contingent upon 

 the possibility of making appropriate arrange- 

 ments for the meetings. 



The occasion of the meeting of the Inter- 

 national Commission of Eugenics at Bruxelles 

 was taken advantage of for a meeting of the 

 Ligue national© Beige centre le Peril venerien 

 at the same place, and an estensive social pro- 

 gram was arranged. 



On October 7, a lecture was given by Dr. 

 Apert, physician of the hospitals of Paris, en- 

 titled, "L'Heredite Morbide." On October 8, 

 in the morning a joint congress of the Ligue 

 oontre le Peril venerien and Federations of 

 Anti-Alcoholic Societies of Bdgium was held 

 in collaboration with the Belgian Eugenics So- 

 ciety. In the afternoon there was an excur- 

 sion to Waterloo, where an address was given 

 'by M. Giheude, depute permanent, entitled, 

 "Les buts Eugeniques de la Ferme-Ecole." 

 This was followed by visits to the battlefield 

 and to the Ferme-ecole Provincials, the new 

 home for 'the feeble-minded which it is hoped 

 will be ready for occupancy in the spring. On 

 Monday, thei-e was held the second meeting of 

 ■the commission, and, at 4 o'clock, a visit to 

 the Solvay Institute of Sociology 'w<here Major 

 Da.iiwin gave an address entitled "L'Eugenique" 

 and Pi"ofessor Wimmer of Copenhagen one on 

 "Mental Heredity." At 5 o'cloick, the Prison 

 de Forest and its laboratory of anthropology 

 were visited. On Tuesday, addresses were 

 'given by Dr. Daisy M. Babinson, by M. Lucien 

 March, of Paris, 'and Dr. Berthollet, of Lau- 

 sanne, on matters partly of anti-veneral and 

 partly of eugenieal in'terest. At half past two 

 in the afternoon, a meetin'g was held in the 

 large hall of the Solvay Institute of Sociology,
