ABSTRACT

Less attention than their case merits has been given to the life-history of the Scandinavian peoples as it bears on the larger questions of eugenics. Neither those laymen who interest themselves in these things nor the eugenicists by profession have turned the case to full account; indeed, it might rather be said that they have not yet made up their account with it. Their attention has rather converged on experiments and incidents of slighter mass and closer detail.
