SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.
THE RACE-BETTERMENT CENTRE. We may expect a better acquaintance with the American man to date from the reorganization of the Eugenics Rocord Office at Cold Spring Harbour, Long Island. This office has been in operation since its establishment in October, 1910, by Mrs. E. H. Harridan, and has had the aid of John D. Rockefeller and others, but in the new stage of its career it has an able board of scientiße directors, with Dr. Alexander Graham as chairman. These seientific directors are to lay out the work of the year at a meeting in the spring, and receive reports at a meeting in November, The aim of the office is to promote useful researches in eugenics; to publish the results: to provide a fire proof building for eugenical records, including genealogies and town histories and to provide and ad. ministrative office
and stall. The building, it is announced, is soon to he ready. A Eugenies Research Association is to be formed, and will aid in such studies as America's most effective lines of heredity and methods of giving pro ponderance to the best strains; methodя of restricting the defective and delin- quent classes; the inheritance of parti cular traits; the consequences of the marriage of close king and the family histories of permanent immigrants.
