New York World
More Babies Like These
These nine little tots are
all sound, healthy stock.
The generations behind
them had unconsciously
been practicing Eugenics
through the process of
natural selection. By luck,
as it were, no strain was
bred into the several
families that would have
caused these children to
be unsound mentally,
morally, or physically.
It is through Eugenics that
we shall have more babies
like these, and shall
eliminate the possibility of
children like those shown
in the other illustrations to
this volume.
