Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled!
If we could remove the drag of the mediocre element in ancestry, were it only for a few generations, we should sensibly eliminate regression or create a stock of exceptional men. This is precisely what is done by the breeder in selecting and isolating a stock until it is established. - Carl Pearson

Institution for Feeble Minded Children Defends Hoyt Pilcher For Castrating Boys
The Institution for Feeble Minded Children give the following quote about Hoyt Pilcher stating he is a hero for castrating boys, and that they should be creating a monument to him rather than removing him from his position:
A great deal has been said in the political press and medial journals of our country about the unsexing [castration] of ... boys by Superintendent Pileher, the political papers censuring, and the medical journals sustaining him. As all forward steps have brought criticism to the person who had the courage to take them, so this human act has brought criticism to Doctor Pilcher. All that would be necessary to convince those most horrified by this act of the wisdom of it, would be to have known the boys before and after the operation. Those who are now criticizing Doctor Pilcher will, in a few years, be talking of erecting a monument to his memory
