the people, this concerns especially a number of organisations for young people
such as the Abstinence Association of Swedish Students (S. S. U. H.) and

as a subject for study the tuberculosis problem and the race-biological questions.
Since 1901 when the Central Society for teaching Temperance was started, the
Society has arranged altogether 97 popular-science courses. During recent years,
some hours out of every course have been devoted to lectures on heredity and its
application to mankind.
Since 1909 The Swedish Society for Race-hygiene has been at work in this
country. It has taken as its task to advance eugenic investigation, the spreading of
enlightenment in questions connected with this subject and to »support
scientifically founded struggles for the physical and mental health of the rising and coming
generations». Grants have thus been made, among others, towards the publication
of Professor Lundborg’s great work on a degenerate Blekinge family, and the
Society publishes a series of popular eugenic pamphlets.
