Abstract
WILL you allow me, through your columns, to point out another aspect of the present methods of popularising “ugenics” I had recently occasion to criticise this popularisation, and especially the methods of the Eugenics Education Society. I then used the following words:—“Sir Francis Galton was in the problems of race an optimist—a splendid optimist; but even he in the last few months of his life saw that the popular movement he had started was likely to outgrow its knowledge, and feared that more evil than good might result from it”(The Times, October 15, 1913).
