IN"1815 William and Mary Deck and their young son. Samuel, came from ireland and settled- in western Pennsylvania. William was a peculiar, silly old fellow, who drank a good deal, stole sheep and other valu- ables. Mary his wife, and also his cousin,' was ignorant, quarrelsome, and leouldbecothe angry at her husband and leave him for days at a time. This pair proved a bad investment for the United States, and parti- cularly for Pennsylvania; Mrs., Annie Finlayson, investigating for the Warren State hospital, got track of 754 names of descendants or persons Who married descendants. Taking out all persons dying at less than 20 years of age, all persons marrying' into the family, and all who moved away and were entirely lost track of, Mrs. Finlayson had left 153 descend- ants of William and Mary; •concerning whom she -was able to secure fairly complete data. • Of the lot no one was a distinctly good citizen or a force for good in the community. Forty, although mostly of a low order of intelligence, are capable of controlling their emotions and have not been a burden on society. In the second group are seventy-two individuals. The members of this group show various evidences of degeneracy, such as shiftlessness, illiteracy, lack of average judgment,` sexual irregularity, heavy drinking, quick and . violent tempers, and inability to control their emotions. In the third group are forty-one individuals. Some of these have been in insane asylums, some inpenitentiaries, some in jails, and some In poor- houses. Most of the insane have had some form of emotional insanity. They are quarrelsome„ quick tempered, violent, and giv,,en to sulking. The disposition to leave their marital -mates is very marked. Twenty-five were insane,twenty are described as lazy and shiftless, thirty-nine are .below the average of intelligence, and thirty-four are described as -ugly and quarrelsome. Thirty were alcoholics, twenty-seven .;were notoriously ,sexually' irregular,' eighteen had a habit of leaving their husbands or wives as the,case was, ' Of the nine children of William and Mary, Jane and Curtis founded the two worst family trees. Jane married her cousin, a bad man. Curtis married a defective woman .from defective stock. The traceable cost to the state for caring for worthless descendants of this pair is $28,354. The actual cost to society has been infinitely greater than that. There is no way of knowing the cost to the state or the value to the state of the mem- bers of the family who have moved far away; but the state of Pennsylvania laid up trouble for itself when it allowed William and Mary to move in and unrestrainedly,to spawn out a worthless brood. Two of the .eugenic 'Lessons Mrs. Finlayson draws from this family are: The marriage of cousinsof defective stock produces a' large.`propor- tion of defective offspring. Highly defective strains ought to be investi- gated and registered. ' • _ The foregoing is an ex.ampie of what we should endeavor to avoid in Ontario. How are we profiting by lessons of this kind? Everyone knows of some feeble-minded, vicious,' drunken father or mother, or perchance some unfortunate half -silly girl in a community, either of whom are 'pro- ' pagating their kind and laying the foundation for such a record as that of the Dock family, There are many of the class referred to in this Trovince. They are steadily adding to our population of - undesirable people. Our loose system of immigration helps in the same direction just as in the Deck case: A census of our insane asylums, institution for the feeble-minded, and jails °show a large element of foreign population which should never have been received in ,.Canada. A: strict medical examination of all immigrants would prevent' is, lot of this and segregation of the undesirable classes we have so as to` prevent marriage sot the propagation of such species would tend to keep our people mentally strong and save the country' a lot of money, Think about id Is it not wort; while? No medical examination of immigrants at the port of entry or on;ship- `board, especially if the latter is carried on by the ship doctor, is of much value, because the first is too hurried, and for tl e • reaso ;'that the second is made s many by asaf the p possible. The only satisfactoryp medse icalct is to examination examination •bf immigrants is one made by a -thoroughly qualified medical examiner or ' metrical board in the employ of -the Federal Government before embarka- tion, and preferably -at certain centres in the native country of the proposed immigrant. In this' way only will this country be saved the unloading' of defective and diseased people, which has been the curse of the United States. Let as -profit by their mistakes: , , ... • • .

OLDER BUT STRONGER To _be healthy at seventy, prepare at forty, is sound ' advice, because in the strength of middle life we too often forget that neglected, colds, or careless treat- ment of :;slight' aches and pains, simply undermine strength and bring chronic weakness for later years.
