Abstract
THIS conference was organised by the Eugenics Education Society for the purpose of opening up discussion on the possibility and advisability of infusing the eugenic ideal into the minds of school children and on the best methods for so doing. More than 400 headmasters and headmistresses or their representatives assembled in the large hall of London University on March i to take part in the debate, and it is in some ways to be regretted that with so large and expert an audience the subject discussed should have been rather sexual hygiene than eugenics. The relation between the two subjects was so clearly and admirably pointed out by Major Darwin in his presidential address on the eugenic ideal, that it is difficult to understand why so many subsequent speakers should have appeared to regard them as identical.
