"was a quarterly publication of the Eugenics Education Society. Eugenics is the belief that positive human traits are hereditary. Therefore, the genetic quality of the population could be improved by encouraging people with positive traits to reproduce and by discouraging those with negative traits from reproducing. Francis Galton, who coined the term “eugenics,” wrote the foreword to the Eugenics Review's first issue. The goals of the periodical were to acquaint members with each other, spread information about eugenics, and place eugenics on a scientific foundation. Topics included abortion, birth control, morality, divorce, crime, poverty, parenthood, legislation, and many other concepts relating to families. "
