VIII. EUGENICS OF THE CITY
Considerable literature has grown up recently dealing with the
biological aspects of city life. Detailed studies as to the effect of
city life on the human stock remain to be made. On the basis of the
material now available, however, fruitful avenues of research are
opened, and certain tentative conclusions may be entertained.
1. The changes incident to city life in the birth, death, and marriage
rates of the population are noticeable on the basis of statistics. These
phenomena permit of sociological interpretation and analysis. The
difference between the urban and the rural span of life offers a similar
problem to the investigator. The proportions of the human scrap-heap and
its social consequences in the city have been recognized as an important
phase of urban existence.
