Summary "The Eugenic Marriage, Volume 1 (of 4)" by W. Grant Hague is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The text explores the principles of eugenics, emphasizing the importance of selective breeding for better health and traits in future generations. It aims to raise awareness about the conditions affecting childbirth and parenting, advocating for a society that prioritizes the well-being of mothers and children. The opening of the work establishes a serious tone regarding the current issues surrounding infant mortality, the understanding of marriage, and the responsibilities of parenthood. Hague argues that many young women entering marriage are not adequately prepared for motherhood due to societal negligence and lack of education. He presents an overview of the eugenic philosophy, advocating for a comprehensive approach that includes considerations of heredity, environment, and education to ensure that future generations are healthy and capable. The starting portion effectively sets the stage for a discussion of how eugenics can potentially remedy the societal issues of his time. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
