AUTHENTIC information on the great questions of 

 heredity is more in demand now than ever before. 

 Every thoughtful person desires and needs to know 

 the fundamental facts of inheritance. 



The number of investigators who are creating new forms 

 and improving old forms of our plants and animals is in- 

 creasing all the time, and each discovery opens the way to 

 some additional field of profitable human industry. 



Much of our present-day charity is palliative only and 

 can be nothing else until we recognize that many of the 

 causes of distress or misery are in heredity. The studies 

 of inheritance in man are indicating new lines along which 

 the vast giving of charity must be directed. 



There can be no better way of encouraging young people 

 to think correctly about these problems than to make them 

 members of this Association and place before them the 

 JOURNAL OF HEREDITY with its illustrated articles 

 from the pens of the men who are actually making the dis- 

 coveries. 



Is not the holiday season an especially suitable time for 

 members to think of this service they may do for their friends 

 and associates, and extend this vital branch of human 

 knowledge?
