had arranged for the banking of their
salaries here in separate accounts.

wAsHINGTON.-As a matrimonial
W agency the United States bureau
OF fisheries has stepped into sudden
prominence. The methods of the bu-
reau are unique. The unions are OBJ
tanned with speed and precision. The
bureau embarked in it's new line Of en-
deavor the other day. The result OF
Its first attempt is speeding happily
westward with honeymoon in the
sweet breezes Of the Pribiloff islands
as an objective. 1t all came about in
this way.
Out in the Pribilotrs there are few
white people, but many Alieuts, and
the progeny Of the Alieuts are both nu-
merous and ignorant. To the bureau
OF fisheries, which is the real gov
eminent of the Pribiloffs and the
Alieuts and seals which there abound,
has been delegated the task Of bring
ing light where heretofore was dark
ness. The school system of the Prib-
iloffs is a division of the work of the
bureau of fisheries. 1t is the intention
Of the government to have two
teachers on each of the large islands
OF the group. The fisheries people
prefer that they have a man teacher
and a woman. They also prefer to
have them a married couple.
Casting about for new material, the
bureau found that Alvin G. Whitney
OF Groton, Mass. wanted to become an
Alaskan school teacher Mr.. Whitney
passed the examination in fine style.
He was just about to be appointed
when it was explained to him that the
Pribiloff government, which is the
bureau Of fisheries, wanted married
teachers. The case was explained to

CHAIRMAN OF THE EUGENICS CONFERENCE

Darwin's theory of evolution, tho,
survival of the f1ttest and the inf1u-.
ence of environment in the Develop
ment of organic life, has provoked
much controversy, and has sometimes,
been allowed to remain in the dim do
main of speculation like the atomic
theory of Epicurus or the Platonic sys-

recognized as something practical in
the social life of the human race. The
most sober-minded of physicians,
economists, and philanthropists have
acknowledged that the improvement
of the race, the promotion of it's hap
piness, and the prevention OF many
moral errors depend very largely upon
q recognition of such laws as that OF
heredity. The parents OF the coming
generation are to be looked to for the
furthering of the races happiness IN
