THE ENDOWMENT OF MOTHERHOOD. By Dr. M. D. Eder.
In this book an analysis is made of the present social conditions from the medical side.
A consideration that it is desirable to encourage the production of healthy children, and to repress the breeding of unhealthy children, leads the author to the conclusion that only by making mothers free to select their partners and economically independent of these partners, is any advance possible.
He points out how inadequate is the help which is afforded to maternity and presents a plan for the State Endowment of Motherhood, which would, at the same time, not remove the children from their mother's care. He further gives a summary of all the measures already undertaken for the purpose of making maternity easier.
