In England, and with the aid of

Stephen Sorrell finds himself bark

a pitiful wage in order to edu

' This seems the last straw, and
Sorrell contemplates giving up al

The subject that the picture
"Are You Fit to Marry?" deals
with was always thought eae that
should be left. solely to those of
the medical profession.
However today there has come
a great change throughout the en
tire country. This has come
through the untiring efforts of
the Eugenists. Their slogans are
for Eugenic information to all
classes through every possible me
dium. The result of this can
mean only one thing, a better and
