body of men and womenwhose lives have been spent in scientific pursuits.Inthat way they have made their contribution to thewelfare of mankind.When a layman speaks on ascientific subject here it should be in recognition ofthat service.He feels that he is paying a tribute topeople whose value to the nation can hardly be over-estimated.I am convinced that what has been doneby you for the cause of eugenics is of such practicalimportance to the country that hundreds of men,likemyself,have learned from you a lesson of patrioticservice.When I contemplate the probable influenceof eugenics on future generations I can think ofnothing comparable to it in its far reaching resultsoutside of medical science,and even that makes acomparatively small contribution to citizenship.Ithas made its strongest appeal to me through its infu-ence on immigration.I realize that,in a way,this isan indirect result of eugenics,but it comes as thenatural development of research on the part of peoplelike yourselves.It is possible that restriction of im-migration would have come without the aid of our  \nSociety,but I doubt if it would have come so soonor so permanently if it had not been for the demon-stration that men,like Dr.Laughlin,have been ableto make to the Committee on Immigration.No oneopposes immigration.The questions to be answeredare—how many immigrants are assimilable?fromwhat countries should we receive them?and how toestablish the best basis of selection?Wise restric-tion not only limits the number of immigrants to thosewe can assimilate,but it enables us to preserve tradi-tions that it is our duty to transmit to generations thatare to follow us.  \nThe purpose of our Society,as stated in its Consti-tution,is \"“to study all agencies under social controlwhich may improve or impair the racial qualities offuture generations either physically or mentally.\"This by-law is broad enough to include all kinds ofresearch that effect in any way the racial welfare ofour people.It is,therefore,appropriate for us onthis occasion to consider what the Eugenics ResearchAssociation has accomplished.Its work has been acontribution of the highest value to the nation,andyet I believe that few people—outside of a very smallcircle—have any idea of its scope or even of its exist-ence.It is to these people I make this appeal and,if possible,to demonstrate the efficiency of this Asso-ciation so that they may not only recognize it but一when th","cbCaipdwCPU58HJk","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipdwCPU58HJk","pdf",445787,"English","# Restrictions on Use\n# Technical Microform
