| Summary | "Race Improvement; or, Eugenics: A Little Book on a Great Subject" by La Reine Helen Baker is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book addresses the topic of eugenics, advocating for the improvement of the human race through careful consideration of heredity, marriage, and societal responsibility. Baker emphasizes the importance of raising awareness about eugenics as a vital issue that is often neglected in favor of less critical matters, asserting a moral imperative to promote the welfare of future generations. The opening of the book serves as an introduction to the core themes and arguments that Baker will explore. She expresses a concern that the interests of the race are being overlooked due to societal distractions, pointing out that there is a universal desire among people for healthier progeny. The author outlines the definition and importance of eugenics, emphasizing its scientific foundation and the need for societal engagement in improving the human condition. Baker argues that understanding and enhancing heredity should be a priority in order to combat societal issues like crime and disease, ultimately calling for a national movement toward eugenic principles.
