  Paul Popenoe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paul Bowman Popenoe (October 16, 1888 - June 19, 1979) was an American agricultural explorer, eugenicist, influential advocate of the compulsory sterilization of the mentally ill and the mentally disabled, and the father of marriage counseling in the United States.
Popenoe was born in Kansas in 1888 and grew up in California, the son of a pioneer of the avocado industry.
Popenoe died in 1979, convinced that civilization was still on the verge of collapse due to poor breeding and poor social mores.

 E. S. Gosney - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
While working in Pasadena he became acquainted with the biologist and eugenicist Paul B. Popenoe, and in 1925 Gosney financed Popenoe's collection of data on the implementation of California's eugenic compulsory sterilization laws.
Gosney and Popenoe's book was specifically referenced by officials in Nazi Germany in the creation of their own sterilization legislation in 1933 as having provided them with proof that sterilization programs could be safe and effective.
It is not the primary intention of to engage in the care of the unfortunate or in any form of relief work, but rather to foster and aid constructive and educational efforts for the protection and betterment of human family in body, mind, character, and citizenship in life.

 Paul Bowman Popenoe 1888
Paul died 19 Jun 1979 Miami, Dade Co, FL, at 90 years of age.
Between 1911 and 1913 Paul by himself and with his brother Wilson toured the date growing areas in North Africa and the Middle East and sent back many date palms.
To avoid the word, American eugenicists coined a new term, social biology, and it was this term that Paul used to describe himself in his later years.

 ISAR - Barry Mehler, "Eliminating the Inferior: American and Nazi Sterilization   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Paul Popenoe, director of the Human Betterment Foundation, a member of the Board of Directors of the American Eugenics Society(11), and an enthusiastic supporter of the Hitler government, published an alternate translation of the full text of the German sterilization law in the Journal of Heredity in July 1934.(12)
With Paul Popenoe and Frederick Osborn as the editorial committee of the Eugenical News after 1945, it was not likely that American eugenicists would ever be informed of the intimate relationship between German eugenic leaders and the extermination of millions of innocent people.
Paul Weindling notes that the emphasis on negative eugenics "pre-dated the Third Reich." He quotes the geneticist Richard Goldschmidt, who complained that the Nazis "took over our entire plan of eugenic measures." The legislation which the Nazis promulgated in July 1933 had been developed and lobbied for during the Weimar years.

 Adoption History: Paul Popenoe, "The Foster Child," 1929
In this excerpt, eugenicist Paul Popenoe presented his skeptical view of adoption by taking issue with How Foster Children Turn Out, the first major outcome study.
According to Popenoe, its author, Sophie van Senden Theis, greatly exaggerated the influence of home environments and misrepresented the power of heredity.
Most of the children available for adoption fall into three groups: (1) illegitimate children; (2) those abandoned by their parents; and (3) those who have been taken away from their parents because the latter were found unfit by the courts to retain the custody of their own offspring.

Paul Weiss was born in Vienna on March 21, 1898.
When Paul Weiss built his own summer cottage in Alpbach in Tyrol, the contact with Koestler became closer until they disagreed about the delicate issue of what it means to be a true scientist.
Paul Popenoe, the eugenicist whose first book had (perhaps ironically) been on date culture, attempted to assist Belling by bringing him to Washington for a change of venue and an opportunity to renew his work.

The Popenoe House by Rudolf Schindler is analyzed to show a unique application of symmetry operations with regard to the spatial organization.
It is one of three cabins (the cabin for Popenoe, the cabin for Philip Lovell, and the Carton Park House) that Schindler developed during the period.
In fact, the three cabins have in common their designs and the use of materials (in Gebhard's words, "the cave-tent shelter of concrete, wood and canvas"), which relate the projects to the climate, region and the surroundings.

Potted offshoots from Egypt reached California in 1890 and numerous other introductions have been made into that state and into the drier parts of southern Arizona around Tempe and Phoenix.
In 1912, Paul and Wilson Popenoe purchased a total of 16,000 offshoots of selected cultivars in Algeria, eastern Arabia and Iraq and transported them to California for distribution by their father, F.O. Popenoe who was a leader in encouraging date culture in California.
Paul Popenoe listed 1,500 and provided descriptions of the fruit and palm, as well as the history and significance, of the most important, country by country, in 90 pages of his book, The Date Palm, written in 1924 but published in 1973 and readily available.

 H-Net Review: Molly Ladd-Taylor on Building a Better Race: Gender, Sexuality, and Eugenics from the ...
The shift from a culture of individualism to a culture of responsibility, which Kline sees as an important outcome of the Cooper Hewitt trial, was also fostered by the decade's positive eugenics campaign.
Eugenicists such as Robert Latou Dickinson, psychologist Lewis Terman (who designed a widely-used intelligence test and a test to measure masculinity and femininity), and Paul Popenoe (a sterilization advocate who became a celebrated marriage counselor) expressed a growing interest in marriage, family stability, and heterosexuality in the 1930s.
Kline rightly points out the continuities in the thought and actions of prominent individuals like Terman and Popenoe (and Popenoe's son David), but the extent to which other Americans embraced their eugenic beliefs remains obscure.

 Eugenics and the Third Reich
Paul Popenoe, one of the four most active figures in the early American eugenics movement, was asked in 1962 to account for the eclipse of the movement worldwide, and he replied: "The major factor in the decline of eugenics was undoubtedly Hitlerism" (letter of February 20, 1962 to Donald K. Pickens, in Pickens 1968: 99).
I have left no one in doubt that if the people of Europe are once more treated as mere blocks of shares in the hands of these international money and finance conspirators, then the sole responsibility for the massacre must be borne by the true culprits: Jewry.
Paul Joseph Goebbels, Minister of Propaganda and Gauleiter (District Leader) of Berlin, and an anti-Semite as vociferous as Hitler himself, echoed these same sentiments.

While in Pasadena, Gosney became a close associate of Paul Popenoe, who was then serving as the director of the Institute of Family Relations in Los Angeles.
Together, Popenoe and Gosney began an extended study of the medical, legal, and social aspects of the sterilizations being carried out under the terms of the California Sterilization Laws at the Sonoma State Hospital and other state institutions.

By 1935, 30 states had statutes, and more than 21,000 had been sterilized.
Almost half of all eugenic sterilizations took place in California, where a vocal eugenics lobby was led by Paul Popenoe, E.S. Gosney, F.W. Hatch, and David Starr Jordan.
In 1942, the Supreme Court struck down a law allowing the involuntary sterilization of criminals, but it never reversed the general concept of eugenic sterilization.

 Eugenics and the Nazis -- the California connection
The most commonly suggested method of eugenicide in the United States was a "lethal chamber" or public, locally operated gas chambers.

Verschuer re- established his connections with California eugenicists who had gone underground and renamed their crusade "human genetics." Typical was an exchange July 25, 1946, when Popenoe wrote Verschuer, "It was indeed a pleasure to hear from you again.
