giving its members adequate salaries 

 and great freedom and opportunity to 

 prosecute their work. 



The Carnegie Institution undertakes 

 to conduct work not only all over this 

 country, but, as is indicated by the il- 

 lustration, here reproduced from the an- 

 nual volume, all over the world. With 

 good men at the start, this works well, 

 but one may have misgivings as to the 

 ultimate outcome of widely scattered 

 research work and scientific men direct- 

 ed by a president from an administra- 

 tion building in Washington. The Car- 

 negie Institution would probably have 

 done better either to have established 

 a research university at Washington or 

 else to have used its revenue to endow 

 independent research institutions for 

 special lines of work in different places. 



The most desirable institutions for 

 scientific work would probably be com- 

 paratively small laboratories conducted 

 by the scientific men who work in them, 

 subject only to some democratic control 

 in case of need. Such laboratories, with 



small groups of investigators, having 

 similar interests and attracting to them 

 assistants and advanced students, would 

 develop the spirit of cooperation and 

 devotion which is likely to wither under 

 the touch of superior officials and ad- 

 ministrative machinery. It would be 

 well if such institutions were endowed 

 by the rich, still better if they were 

 supported by a state or a community. 



THE KALL1KAK FAMILY. 



In the training-school for feeble- 

 minded children at Vineland, N". J., is a 

 girl whose ancestry has been traced by 

 Dr. H. H. Goddard and is now published 

 in a small book under the title ' ' The 

 Kallikak Family.'' The results are of 

 general interest, both as a contribution 

 to our knowledge of the workings of 

 heredity and as a proof of the need of 

 practical measures for eliminating 

 feeble-mindedness and lessening vice 

 and criminality in the community. The 

 feeble-minded girl, Deborah, is a typi- 

 cal moron who may be self-supporting
