in relation thereto and indicating some of the measures available 

 to society to repress or to eliminate practices and hereditary 

 strains that tend to degeneracy, and to foster as far as possible 

 those that tend to human betterment. The Introduction, and 

 the two divisions entitled The Race Poisons, and Applied Euge- 

 nics, may be easily and profitably read by any intelligent person, 

 and most persons can follow the other division called General 

 Laws of Genetics even though they are not already familiar 

 with the laws of Weismann, Haeckel, Galton, or Mendel. In 

 fact, a careful study of Reed's presentation of these laws will 

 make a good introduction to them and well repay the reader 

 for his effort. 



The message of the book is especially addressed to every pros- 

 pective husband and wife. Knowledge is the best preventive of 

 disaster. The book should have extensive and thoughtful 

 reading.
