Enquire Within Upon Everything

I have some useful information for you all from a book called:
Enquire Within Upon Everything

Not sure when it was published around the 1920's - 1930's I imagine. This is an abridged extract from point 2235 EUGENICS

(I might send a copy to Tony Blair to help with his new idea about identifying 'problem' children pre-birth.)

......The object of Eugenics is to prevent the idle and worthless from propagating and to ensure that only the provident and enterprising shall be the parents of the future.

By selecting certain qualities and rejecting others, it is thought to be possible to do as much for man as has been done for the cow or sheep....Is it wise, for example that two persons one of whom has a history of tuberculosis in his or her own family should enter the holy state of matrimony and so perpetuate an enfeebled strain?

Again, in thousands of families there is a history of habitual drunkenness,.....Crime, mental weakness, and other blemishes raise each its own difficulty when regarded from the standpoint of the race and its future...

Much good may be done by the segregation of the mentally defective, for their mental weakness is accompanied by lack of power of self-control, so that they grow and multiply unrestrainedly.

The Eugenics Education Society in its journal has protested strongly against the practice of birth control prevailing in the upper classes of society, contending that the so called liberty of the subject has hitherto meant the liberty of the depraved and worthless to propagate their kind to the exclusion of the thrifty and prudent who are taxed to maintain them.
