Apparently, then eugenic selection is concerned not with the con- ditions of eminence but with the conditions of efficiency. It must work for the internal efficiency which we roughly call sanity and a good constitution, and for the external efficiency which enables an individual, regardless of the comparative efficiency of other individ- uals, to make steady progress in forcing his non-human surround- ings into conformity with his needs. Doubtless the distinctions here applied are indefinite. F...or instance, the personal advantages of health and strength are diminished if equal physical vigor becomes the possession of all.
