MARRIAGE OF THE UNFIT.
The Dyak Skull Test,
A striking reference to the evils of our present marriage system was made by Dr. Edward Westermarck in the course of his address at the opening of the winter wession at the London School of Economica
Dr. Wustermarck is strongly of opinion that the present perfectly free and unfol tered choice in marriage is a grave mistake and a source of national danger, Jouling,
as
it does, to unions between couples who
are ofton physically unfit to marry, and whose offspring must suffer in consequence. He makes the somewhat startling suggum. tion that in this matter we may even
learn with advantage same lessons from ng tribes, who are far more particular in their restrictions sa to ninrrings than civilised nations,
"For instance," said Dr Westermarok,
when the suggestion has been made tint the law should step in and prevent unfit individuals from contacting marriage," the objectioh hus at onco buen raised that any such measure would be impracticable. Now we find that many savages have tried the experiment and succeeded. Mr Im Thurn talis us that among the wild Indians of Quians, a map, before he is allowed to choose a wife must prove that he can do a man's work and is able to support himself and his family.
