The Eugenic Marriage, Volume 1 (of 4) A Personal Guide to the New Science of Better Living and Better Babies

"The Eugenic Marriage, Volume 1 (of 4)" by W. Grant Hague is a book that explores the science of eugenics, focusing on how carefully choosing partners can lead to healthier offspring. It highlights the need for better conditions for childbirth and parenting, promoting a society where the health of mothers and children is a top concern. The book introduces the idea that many young women lack the knowledge needed for motherhood, pointing to failures in society and education. Arguing for a more comprehensive understanding of heredity and how it can be improved through different approaches, like education and considerations about the environment, Hague suggests that eugenics could be a solution for the problems facing society at the time regarding childbirth, parenting, and overall family health.
