| Description | If I wanted to know how to put a saddle on a camel's back without chafing it, I should go to Francis Galton. If I wanted to know how to manage the women of a treacherous African tribe, I should go to Francis Galton. If I wanted an instrument for measuring a snail, or an arc of latitude, I should appeal to Francis Galton. If I wanted advice on any mechanical, of any geographical, or any sociological problem, I should consult Francis Galton. In all these matters, and many others, I feel confident he would throw light on my difficulties. And I am firmly convinced that, with his eternal youth, his elasticity of mind, and his keen insight, he can aid us in seeking an answer to one of the most vital of our national problems: how is the next generation of Englishmen to be mentally and physically equal to the past generations, which have provided us with the great Victorian statesmen, writers, and men of Science.
