bility that this is a fairly good
eugenic specification. Appearance, it is stated, meant not so much
facial beauty as intelligent expression and manly form. Financial
success is correlated with intelligence and efficiency, and probably is
not rated too high. The importance attached to paternity--which, it is
explained, means a clean sex life as well as interest in children--is
worth noticing.

For comparison there is another census of the preferences of 115 young
women at Brigham Young College, Logan, Utah. This is a "Mormon"
institution and the students, mostly farmers' daughters, are probably
expressing ideals which have been very little affected by the
demoralizing influences of modern city life. The editor of the college
paper relates that:

Eighty-six per cent of the girls specifically stated that the young
man must be morally pure; 14% did not specifically state.

Ninety-nine per cent specifically stated that he must be mentally

Fifty-two per cent demanded that he be of the same religious
conviction; 48% said nothing about religion.

Seventy-two per cent said nothing regarding money matters; 28%
stated what his financial condition must be, but none named a
specific amount. One-half of the 28% stated that he must be rich,
and three-fourths of these were under twenty years of age; the
other half of the 28% said that he must have a moderate income and

Forty-five per cent stated that the young man must be taller than

Twenty per cent stated that the young man must be older, and from
two to eight years older; 80% did not state.

Fifty per cent stated that he must have a good education;
