Book excerpt: Excerpt from Macfadden's Encyclopedia of Physical Culture, Vol. 5: A Work of Reference, Providing Complete Instructions for the Cure of All Diseases Through Physcultopathy, With General Information on Natural Methods of Health-Building and a Description of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Human Body One of the most important and vital of all factors in human improvement is the selection of mates who will produce superior children. Strange as it may seem, even those who have given much attention to the breeding of various plants or animals seem to have overlooked the fact that it is possible to use intelligence in the selection of hu man mates. In choosing for marriage, the young man should always bear in mind the thought, not merely whether or not they are sufl'iciently fond of each other and will get along together, but, Will she make a good mother to my children? Similarly, the first and continuous thought of the young woman should be, Is he fit to be the father of my children? The great error of the past has been that this aspect of the matter has been avoided, and prurient prudery is to blame. The ques tion of parent, even the possibility of parenthood, has been completely ignored, and among the majority of people to day is still so ignored. With an incomparable hypocrisy, they approach the marriage just as though it were a mere matter of living together under the same roof and nothing more, shrinking to face any topic which their prudish and polluted state of mind has caused to seem indecent to them, and unmentionable. But this question of parenthood is the all important question in every case, and it is incumbent upon us to consider it first of all.
