eveiy ten 'years it will lie lucky. .
;' In the second place, there is the plain fact that v do not
now know quite enough about the various laws of heredity
and inheritance to set up a fair, workable eugenics code.
Science still has a long way to go before it can sny definitely
whut part of a man's mental and physical make-up is due to
heiedity and what part is due to environment and early
training. '
And then, on top of those two things, there remains a
third item which may eventually prove the biggest stum
bling block of all. People still fall in love without any thought
of eugenics. They probably always will; and legislation that
tuns counter to that tendency may have -tough sledding. .
