Steady Growth

At Meeting
That the Eugenics League did not try to solve the poverty problem by means of birth control but upheld the right of parents to decide the number of children they should have by giving then advice was stressed by Mrs. P. S. Selwyn-Clarke at the annual general meeting of the League, held at Alexandra Buildings, yester-
day.
Prof. Gordon King was in the chair, and after referring to how the League came to be founded, he said:
There has been a steady growth
in the amount of work undertaken
by the Tengue. It was soon found
that the elfile in the Violet Peel Health Centre did not meet the whole
consequently need, and
a second clinic has been in operation during the past year at the Kowloon Mater- nily and Child Welare Centre, Plans have now been made for the opening of third clinic in the Tsan Yuk Hospital.
Attendance at the clinics has shown

Finally, I should like to urge that we do not allow ourselves to adopt any norrow or restricted definition of the term "Eugenics," The Oxford English Dictionary defines the word
"The Eugenics as
aclence which has for Its object the production of fine ifspring." Eugenies has its positive na well as its negative aspects, and
it is essentially the positive which must prevail in the long run. A full programme for a League such as ours should include facilities for pre-marital examination and advice, adequate ante-natal, Intra-natal and post-natal care for the mother, as well
as follow-up work for the child, in the Infant Wellure Clinic. Other organisations already exist, and in- deed are working side by side with
