Chapter X: Section IV: Medicine and Eugenics (5)

A List of twelve tests applied to two schools at Oxford. The first two columns of figures indicate the "reliability" or self-consistency of the tests as compared with that of examinations and master's general impression. The second two columns give the correlations of the results of the tests with the children's "general intelligence." It will be seen that several of the tests of higher mental processes are as reliable as the scholastic tests at present in vogue, and that they correlate quite as highly with intelligence. Further experiments show that while examinations and master's estimates measure knowledge and skill acquired by memory and training, the tests seems to provide measurements rather of innate capacities; and that children of superior parentage (_e.g._ the preparatory school boys) are themselves superior at tests, which show an appreciable positive correlation with intelligence (_i.e_. all except tests of touch and weight). The tests thus provide an experimental demonstration of the inheritance of mental ability and a means of measuring the same.

2. Sex-differences in mental tests.

A list of experimental tests applied to children of both sexes with a view to measuring their innate capacities for performing mental processes of different levels of complexity. The amount of divergence between the sexes, is indicated by the column in red. It will be seen that the sex-differences become smaller, the higher the level tested. There is some evidence to show that these differences are the result of inheritance and are not the result of difference of tradition or environment. (References: Burt and Moore, the Mental Differences between the sexes. Journal of Experimental Pedagogy, 1912, June. Burt, Inheritance of Mental Characteristics, Eugenics Review, 1912, July.)

Exhibit by Dr. George Papillault.

Four sets of questions drawn up by Dr. George Papillault, Professor of Sociology in the Paris School of Anthropology, with a view to noting and comparing the +bio-social characteristics+ of individuals belonging to different groups of population.

[Sidenote: R 1]

Set of questions +adopted by the Commission of Criminology+ instituted and presided over by Mr. ---- Keeper of the Seals; Vice-presidents, Messrs. Léon Bourgeois, senator, and Dr. Dron, Vice-president of the Chamber of Deputies and Reporter to the Commission; Scientific Secretary, Dr. G. Papillault.

This set of questions comprises:

1st. An individual criminological chart for the purpose of showing 271 biological and social characteristics of the prisoners.

2nd. Family Charts for each of the ancestors, descendants or collateral relatives of the prisoner and more particularly intended to note hereditary characteristics.

These Charts have been issued with a view to a methodical enquiry on the criminal, under the direction of the Scientific and Criminological Department.

[Sidenote: R 2]

Set of questions of the French Lay Mission, designed to note the characteristics of the young natives and of their relatives in the French Colonies. The teachers will have to return them filled up with the greatest care to the Lay Mission, where Dr. Papillault, before their departure, delivered a series of lectures to teach them how to proceed.

[Sidenote: R 3]

Questions on the half-breeds, adopted by the Paris Society of Anthropology, and designed to show the bio-social characteristics of the half-breeds proceeding from cross-breeding between different races.

[Sidenote: R 4]

Questions asked by the General Psychological Institute for the purpose of undertaking a vast enquiry on the value taxonomic, organic, bio-social, and selective of the different human races which actually exist in the French Colonies, and particularly in North Africa.

A like spirit and method governs these four sets of questions; to discard the verbalism which obstructs and imperils Sociology; to study characteristics precise, objective, easily controllable and comparable, and likely consequently to form statistics, which alone, are capable of revealing characteristics of groups; to establish the correlations which these characteristics may present among themselves, and to arrive at last at the discovery of positive sociological laws.

Exhibited by Frederick Adams Woods, M.D.

Thirteen photographic copies of authentic portraits of distinguished historical personages of the sixteenth century, showing that the bony framework of the face, especially about the nose and eyes, was not commonly the same as it is to-day.

These are samples of a much larger collection.

[Sidenote: S 1]

Charles VII., XV Century, eye-brows very high above the eyes.

[Sidenote: S 2]

Mary of Lorraine, Queen of James of Scotland (National Portrait Gallery). Eyes far apart, and eye-brows high.

[Sidenote: S 3]

Francis I. of France, French School, XVI. Century. (Louvre.) Eyes small, upper eye-lids peculiar, and typical of the period.

[Sidenote: S 4]

Louse de Rieux; Marquise d'Elboef, XVI. Century. (Louvre.) Naso-orbital region typical, eyes small far apart, upper part of the nose broad and flat, upper eye-lids long (vertical distance between eye and eye brow considerable.)

[Sidenote: S 5]

Dr. Stokesley, Bishop of London (Holbein.) Eyes far apart upper part of nose broad.

[Sidenote: S 6]

Jane Seymour (Holbein). Eyes far apart, upper eye lids characteristic.

[Sidenote: S 7]

Jean de Bourbon, Comte d'Enghien. XVI Century. Eyes far apart, upper eye-lids vertically prominent.

[Sidenote: S 8]

Portrait of a young German gentleman.

The eye-lids are modern, that is the eyes are set in deeply under the arch, but the eyes themselves are far apart, and the upper part of the nose is broad.

[Sidenote: S 9]

Mary Queen of England. (National Portrait Gallery).

It would seem that allowance might be made for the crudity of the portrait, but the naso-orbital region is typical of the northern races during the XVI century.

[Sidenote: S 10]

Holbein's Duke of Norfolk. In the Royal Gallery at Windsor Castle.

Eyes are more deep-set under the superorbital arch than is usual in portraits of the period, but the upper part of the nose is broad, and eyes are far apart.

[Sidenote: S 11]

Henry VIII., attributed to Holbein but on doubtful authority.

Broad flat nose, small eyes set far apart, eye-brows arching upward and outward. Observe the upper eye-lids in contrast to the Italian by Lorenzo Lotto, which shows the usual modern type of eye-lid.

[Sidenote: S 12]

Portrait of the Prothonotary Apostolic Juliano. (Lorenzo Lotto.)

Modern type of face. Eyes deep set in under the superorbital arch and eye-brow. Upper part of the nose delicate and projecting. This type of face is occasionally, but only rarely met with north of the Alps during the early period. It is common enough in portraits of Italians.

[Sidenote: S 13]

Portrait of a German scholar, by Holbein. Modern type, very rarely found.

First International Eugenics Congress

LONDON.

Wednesday, July 24th, to Tuesday, July 30th, 1912.

=General Arrangements for the Meeting.=

An invitation circular has been widely circulated to all members of Eugenic and Heredity Societies in Europe and America, and to many other persons likely to be interested in the approaching Congress. Through that circular the objects and general plan of the Congress have been made widely known. Copies may still be had on application to the Secretary.

The following arrangements have now been definitely made.

=Place of Meeting.= The Meetings of the Congress will be held in the Great Hall of the University of London, Imperial Institute Road, South Kensington, London, S.W., which is easily reached from South Kensington Station on the Underground Railway, and by omnibus from all parts of London. (In wet weather those travelling by rail can avail themselves of the subway).

=Headquarters of the Congress.= Until Tuesday, July 23rd, the headquarters and offices of the Congress will remain at 6, York Buildings, Adelphi, W.C. (close to Charing Cross Station), where all information will be supplied and tickets issued. Office hours 10-30 a.m. to 5 p.m. On and after Wednesday, July 24th, the headquarters will be transferred to the University of London, South Kensington. If arrangements for hotels or for lodgings have not been made previously, members arriving on and after July 24th are recommended to leave their luggage in the "Cloak Room" at the railway station and come to the office of the Congress, at London University, South Kensington, for information.

=Correspondence.= From July 24th to 30th, Members and Associates of the Congress may have their letters addressed to them at the First International Eugenics Congress, c/o The University of London, South Kensington, S.W., where special postal facilities will be provided. All invitations to Receptions, etc., will be distributed in this way.

=Languages.= It has been decided that in the Meetings and Discussions the English, French, German, and Italian languages shall be on an equal footing. At the same time it is right to point out that in all Congresses the number of Members speaking and understanding only the language of the country in which they are held has been far in excess of those conversant with several languages; therefore those who speak in English on the present occasion will be most widely understood. The abstract of every paper which is received in time by the Secretary will be translated into English, French, and German. Pamphlets containing the abstracts in these languages will be available on July 24th at the University Buildings. Members wishing for advance copies should notify the fact to the Secretaries, and state clearly in what language they are required, and to what address they should be sent.

=Stewards.= A number of Stewards acting as interpreters will be in attendance; the languages spoken being indicated by rosettes of the following colours:--Red, French; Blue, German; Green, Italian.

=Hotels, etc.= The Organising Committee is prepared to book rooms in advance for intending Members. Lists of hotels and the accommodation vouchers have been sent out to all Members with their membership cards. Any Member wishing to pay his membership fee on arrival can on application obtain an accommodation voucher in advance.

=To make certain of securing the accommodation desired, it is essential that accommodation vouchers duly filled in should reach the office not later than July 10th.=

=Tickets of Membership.= In order to take advantage of the reduced fares offered by the railway companies (see below), the official Congress ticket must be produced when paying the fare. The subscription entitling to membership of the Congress is £1 sterling; for an Associate it is 10/-. Members may obtain additional tickets for ladies at the cost of 10/- each. These additional ladies' tickets are transferable to ladies. Associates are entitled to all the privileges of Members, except that they have no vote in the meetings and will not receive a copy of the Report when published. The tickets of all Members and Associates who pay in advance will be forwarded to their addresses before the commencement of the Congress. A limited number of Day Membership Cards at 5/- each will be obtainable from the Secretary's Office in the Marble Hall during the Congress. These cards admit to both the morning and afternoon sessions, but do not carry the privileges of voting and hospitality.

=Inaugural Banquet.= An Inaugural Banquet will be held at the Hotel Cecil on Wednesday, July 24th, at 7 p.m., at which all the officials of the Congress and readers of papers will be the guests of the Entertainments Committee. Members of the Congress can obtain tickets at 7/6 each, from the Hon. Secretary, Entertainments Committee, 30, York Terrace, Harley Street, London, W. Speeches of welcome will be made by the President, the Lord Mayor of London, the Rt. Hon. A. J. Balfour, and others. The Banquet will be followed by a Reception to which all Members and Associates of the Congress will be invited.

=Railway Arrangements.= Important concessions have been made by a number of Railway Companies to Members and Associates of the Congress. On the railways of Russia, Austria-Hungary, Germany, Switzerland and Holland, no reductions will be allowed; but by taking tickets to a station in Belgium or France, near the frontier, reductions may be secured by groups of not less than 20 visitors travelling together from those countries for the rest of their journey. =In all cases it is necessary to produce the Congress Membership Ticket before receiving railway tickets at reduced rates; and arrangements MUST be made in advance, 14 days' notice being required. Persons desiring to take advantage of these concessions must therefore forward their subscriptions at once; and immediately on receipt of their membership ticket should communicate with the Secretary of their country= (see page 3). In the following list the countries most distant from London are mentioned first:--

=Italy.= The P.L.M. Company will grant a reduction of 50% to Members coming from Italy via Modane.

At the time of issuing this notice definite information regarding reduced rates on the Italian State Railways is not to hand.

=Germany.= Members from Germany desiring to obtain reduced rates are requested to communicate, through their Secretary, with the General Agent of the South Eastern and Chatham Railway Office in Cologne (6 Domhof). Provided at least 20 Members travel together on the journey to London, arrangements can be made for reduced fares at 50% reduction from the Belgian or from the Dutch Frontier to London and back. At least 14 days' notice must be given to secure these facilities.

=Belgium.= If at least 20 members travel together, a reduction of about 50% is granted. Members are requested to communicate, through the Secretary of their country, with the General Agent of the South Eastern and Chatham Railway in Brussels (19, rue de la Regence).

=France.= On presentation of their Congress Cards, members attending the Congress will be able to obtain at Paris (Gare du Nord) special 15 day return tickets to London via Calais-Dover or Boulogne-Folkestone at the following fares:--

1st Class.--72f. 85c. 2nd Class.--46f. 85c. 3rd Class.--37f. 50c.
available from July 22nd.

These tickets are available by the following trains:--

Paris (Nord) dep. 8-25 a.m. 3-05 p.m. 9-20 p.m.
London (Charing Cross) arr. 3-25 p.m. 10-45 p.m. 5-43 a.m.
(B) (B) (C)

(B) via Boulogne-Folkestone.
(C) via Calais-Dover.

Special arrangements can be made for reserved accommodation to be provided for groups. The above-mentioned tickets can also be obtained at the Paris Office of the South Eastern and Chatham Railway (14 Rue du 4 Septembre), but the Congress vouchers must be presented at the time in either case.

_Another Route_--From Paris (St. Lazare) special 15 day return tickets to London via Dieppe-Newhaven at the following fares:--

1st Class.--47f. 20c. 2nd Class.--36f. 40c.

These tickets are available for the following trains:--
Paris (St. Lazare) dep. 10-20 a.m. 9-00 p.m.
London (Victoria) arr. 7-40 p.m. 7-50 a.m.

=Great Britain.= All the British Railways have very kindly granted exceptional facilities to members of the Congress. Return tickets for the price of a single fare and a third, lasting from July 23rd to 30th, will be issued from all stations in the United Kingdom on presentation of the Congress voucher at the Booking Office.

* * * * *

Members wishing to return to their homes outside London daily, must
apply for separate vouchers for each day if the distance is more than
50 miles. If however the member resides within that distance, the
usual sleeping-out arrangements will apply, _i.e._, that tickets at
a single fare and a third for the double journey may be issued (upon
production of cards of membership or letters of invitation), from the
town where the Conference is being held to places where the delegates
reside. The minimum fare will be 1/-.

=Stations Of Arrival.= Passengers travelling from the Continent by the South Eastern and Chatham Railway, arrive at Victoria or Charing Cross Stations according to the train service selected. Passengers by the Great Eastern Railway arrive at Liverpool Street Station; and those by the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway arrive at Victoria Station.

=Hospitality Bureau.= During the meeting of the Congress there will be many entertainments in the form of receptions, dinners, afternoon and evening parties, for which there will be invitations to Members and Associates of the Congress. In most cases the number to be entertained is limited, and it is desirable that the Secretaries should have as complete a list of members as possible to submit to the hosts.

All =Officials of the Congress=, and =Readers of Papers=, and =Delegates=, will shortly receive invitations to the various entertainments mentioned in the programme.

_Members should apply at the Hospitality Bureau in the Marble Hall on arrival_, as the number that can attend each function is limited, and cards will be issued to members in order of application.

A limited number of Tickets for the Zoological Gardens, tickets to hear debates in the House of Commons, and invitations to tea on the Terrace of the House of Commons, etc., will also be available.

The German Athenæum Club has very kindly signified its willingness to accord the privilege of Hon. Membership of the Club to German Readers of Papers and Members of the German Consultative Committee, and to a limited number of German Members of the Congress.

RULES OF PROCEDURE.

The Organising Committee feel that the interest and usefulness of the Congress will be greatly increased by the usual sectional plan being departed from, so that all papers can be discussed in general sittings. This plan will necessarily limit the time available for papers, but, on the other hand, it will allow the interest of all members to be focused on each question to be considered. To enable the maximum amount of work to be done in the time available, the following arrangements have been made:--

=Papers.= The reader of each paper will be allowed 25 minutes in which to give a summary of his paper and to reply to criticisms. A certain time, limited at the discretion of the Chairman, will then be allowed for discussion (maximum time--20 minutes).

Should the reader of a paper not desire to exercise his right of reply he may devote the whole 25 minutes to his opening summary.

If, on the other hand, he prefers to reserve a longer time for reply he must reduce the length of his opening remarks, bearing in mind that the whole time at his disposal for the two speeches will be 25 minutes.

=Discussions.= All discussions are under the absolute control of the Chairman, who will regulate the length of time allotted to each discussion, and to each speaker in that discussion. The Chairman will ring a bell one minute before each speech must end. After the bell is rung a second time the next speaker will be called. The maximum time allotted to the discussion on each single paper is twenty minutes,--to each single speaker, seven minutes.

The names of persons wishing to speak must be handed up to the Chairman before the conclusion of the speech opening the Discussion.

=Badges.= A button badge, consisting of a reproduction of the head of Sir Francis Galton, will be presented to every Member and Associate.

A silvered medal with ribbon and clasp will be presented to members of the Consultative Committees, Readers of Papers and Government Delegates. Distinctive colours will be as follows:--

_Organizing and Consultative Committees_ Medal and Red Ribbon.
_Readers of Papers_ " " White "
_Stewards_ " " Yellow "
_Executive Committee_ " " Blue "

The medals with green ribbons will be on sale, price 1/- each, to all Members and Associates.

DAILY PROGRAMME.

This programme will be adhered to as closely as possible, but the Executive Committee reserve the power to make any alterations which circumstances may render necessary.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 24th.

[Sidenote: 10 a.m.]

The Offices of the Congress will be opened at the University of London, South Kensington.

Members and Delegates are requested to call during the day, to sign the register and enter their address, and to obtain invitations to the Receptions, Dinners, etc.

[Sidenote: 3 p.m.]

A Meeting of the Congress Executive Committee will be held in the Senate Room. The Congress Executive consists of the President, Secretary, and two members of each of the Consultative Committees, and the President, Secretary and two members of the British Executive Committee.
