N.Y. Times Aug. 23, 1932 "In the first place," he said, "women should again be won over to the idea of the large family. Nowadays women prefer fashion to children. We must get rid of the idea of feminism in its old form, according to which woman should be a man's equal in every respect, professionally, politically and as regards salary. "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 man's equivalent, but they each have their own particular 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, understand and feel that marriage and children represent, after all is said and done, the highest ideal." Advance in Eugenics Told. Dr. Charles B. Davenport of the Cold Spring Harbor station of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, president of the third congress, in his president's address last night summarized some of the advances in eugenics made in the last decade. "In the first glance," he said, "the inheritance of a lot of normal varying characters has been placed on a Mendelian basis, such as stature, body build, pigmentation of hair and skin, eye color, hand form; also temperament, mental traits and quality of the special senses. Similar progress has been made in studying defects and diseases on a genetic basis. "One of the greatest advances of this period of research has been the change in attitude of pathologists toward the hereditary factor in disease. We have come a long way from the standpoint of the medical man who said, in effect, tuberculosis is due to the bacillus tuberculosis and that is all there is to it - despite the fact that practically every adult harbors the tubercle bacillus. Rather the conclusion of Professor Jobling of the College of Physicians and Surgeons in this city is being reached, who said: "Henceforth the physician and the geneticist must work together." Dr. Theodore Russell Roble of the Essex County Medical Hygiene Clinic declared that poor heredity was the greatest single cause of mental deficiency (50 to 65 per cent), and cited the case of two feeble-minded American families, the offspring of which ultimately cost the government a total of $2,000,000 annually, although at the beginning they could have been sterilized for $150. The seemingly insignificant 2 per cent mental deficients, he added, will multiply three and one-half times, while the mentally superior fall off in reproduction. We are, figuratively, sterilizing the fittest as the result of the low reproduction figures for intelligent women, which is one-third that of the other classes. A $50 monthly bonus by the State to parents of good heredity when their third child reached the age of 5 was advocated by Dr. Renato Kehl of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. [end]
