It is the aim of eugenics to create conditions favorable to the advancement of future generations, if you please, to give your boy or your girl and their descendants a better chance to attain higher intellectual, ethical and spiritual levels in the centuries to come. It is the aim of eugenics to conserve the higher elements of human heredity so that each succeeding generation will be able to realize a larger balance on the side of normal mentality, strong physique, and high moral attainment.

Eugenics merely asks that we do something to lessen the dangers of falling in love - to render it more safe for young iii
