HOWTO raise a Eugenic Baby (old ad)


This Physical Culture ad for The Correspondence School of Gospel and Scientific Eugenics (whose principal had the comedy name of “M.E. Teats,” no less!) manages to capture everything abhorrent about both faith and science, and is a kind of perfect parcel of awfulness, from the mad, stary schoolmarm and pinch-faced schoolmaster on the letterhead to the great! abundance! of exclamation!! marks!!!, to the testimonials from proud parents of “Eugenic Babies.”
