WHAT THE TALMUD TEACHES. Judaism Aims to Preserve and Im-prove the Good QualiUcs of the Race.

Rabbi Max Relehler of Sinai Tern plo in the Bronx spoke yesterday morning in the Eighth Avenue Tem-le, of which Dr. Alexander Lyons Is the rabbi, on "Jewish Eugenics." In tho courso of his lecture he said: "The aim of eugenics is to check the birth rate of the unfit, and to further the productivity of the fit by early marriages and the rearing of healthful children. In like manner we find the rabbis of the Talmud Insisting on early marriages. "Among the seven undesirable types considered by Jewish authorities as not acceptable In the eyes of God arc Included both the man who is not married and the married man who has no children. A man without children experiences death in life and when he departs from this earth he is to be greatly mourned, for he is dead indeed who leaves no children behind him, while he who leaves even one worthy son behind Is not dead but merely sleeps.

"The attempt to limit the multiplication of the undesirable elements in the Jewish race resulted In three kinds of prohibitions. First, prohibition against the marriage of defectives by reason of heredity; second, prohibition against the marriage of personal defectives; third, prohibition against eonsanguinious marriages. Besides the prohibition against defective marriages mentioned in 1 leuteronomy, the i the of a "The distinctive feature of Jewish eugenics lies in the greater emphasis put on the pgyohlcal well-being of posterity, in contradistinction to the greater stress laid by most modern eugenists on the physical well-being of the future generations. At the Congress of Eugenics recently held lents of eugenics. Professor Samuel i.

Smith of the University of Minne-iota. asserted: 'If I were to choose obust burglar than a consumptive themselves, but also to their and children's children until the end of all generations, while parents living abnormal and wicked lives are bringing destruction and calamity not only on themselves, but also upon their children and children's children to the end of all generations. When Moses, so tho legend runs, desired to know why some of the righteous suffer in health and material prosperity, and others reap success and. prosper, and why some of the wdeked suffer and others enjoy bountiful prosperity and success, God explained to him that ceed and prosper are the descendants of righteous parents, while the right- fail materially are the descendants of wicked parents. "Thus Judaism recognized the.

fact that both physical and psychical qualities are inherited, and endeavored bv and by indirect advice and admonition to nreserve and improve the good. qualities of the Jewish race."
