Abstract
DR. C. W. SALEEBY, who died on December 9, aged sixty-six, was a popular lecturer and writer, able to put forward the views he furthered in simple direct language illuminated by apt and telling phrases. He was in particular an exponent of eugenics, in my opinion a lost cause, for the British people cannot be persuaded, and are not stimulated by family allowances by Government, to have enough children to maintain the vigour of the nation after the War. There is great doubt, too, whether eugenics, except in the case of a few rare inherited disabilities, is of any value.
