Prizes for Eugenic Studies 
A committee on promotion of the 
ideal of racial well-being created by the 
National Council of Education an- 
nounces that a fund of $1,000 for each 
of four years has been offered by an 
anonymous donor. A prize of $100 is 
open to graduate classes of two-year 
normal courses in each of four sections 
of the country. Similarly a prize of 
$150 to members of graduating classes 
of colleges and universities in the same 
sections who have had two years of 
work in education or home economics. 
The prize is awarded to the class that 
makes the best cooperative study on the 
topic, ““The supreme object of education 
should be to make the next generation 
better than living generations.”’ The 
first prizes will be awarded to the class 
of 1917. Notice of intention to compete 
should be sent before May 1, 1916, to 
Dr. H.C. Putnam, Rhode Island Avenue, 
Providence, R. I., of whom further de-

Defectives in District of Columbia 
There are few states which have made 
less provision for mental defectives than 
has the Federal Government, and at the 
present time practically all the feeble- 
minded, some hundreds in number, in 
the District of Columbia are allowed at. 
large without any restraint or oversight. 
Representative Tinkham of Massa- 
chusetts has introduced a bill (H. R. 
13666) into Congress providing for an 
240 
institution for the feeble-minded in the 
District of Columbia, appropriating 
$500,000 for it and outlining a method 
of commitment. The measure is receiv- 
ing the active support of the Commit- 
tee on Provision for the Feeble-minded 
(Philadelphia), and deserves the assist- 
ance of every one who is interested in 
proper care for the defective classes in 
the nation.
