NEW PLAN TO PICK CADETS.
Gives President Power to Appoint Ten
From Military Schools.


From Military Schools.
Important changes in the method of
admitting candidates to the West Point
military academy are proposed in
bill just introduced in congress by
Chairman Chamberlain of the senate
military committee. 1t would give the
president power to appoint each year
to the academy ten "honor men" from
ten educational institutions having of
ficers of the army detailed for military
instruction. The list of "honor
schools" would be prepared by the war
department
The Chamberlain bill also proposes
when the annual examinations fail to
fill all vacancies in the academy from
the list of regular appointees. that
candidates should be selected on the
merit principle from the whole list of
alternates, instead of being restricted
to the alternate from the district where
the principal has failed.

A eugenic marriage-the matching
and mating of Il man and woman as
near to physical, mental and moral
perfection as is possible-is planned by
Frederic H. Robinson of New York
city, president of the sociological fund
committee of the Medical Review of
reviews.
AS far as Mr.. Robinson is aware, the
prospective bride and bridegroom have
never met nor heard of each other Mr..
Robinson himself knows neither of
them. They will be selected by a jury
of doctors. men and women. Any one
can apply. Once the selections are
made the two examples of robust hui
manity will be presented to each other.
Then may follow the only hitch in
the plan. Either may decide the other
impossible, and the match may there

laws of eugenics fit to become the par

ed by Mr.. Robinson.
Hopes to Test Theories.
'This is not original, except in the
fact that we will carry it through if
possible" said Mr.. Robinson in a re-
cent interview. "It has been mulled
over by theorists. Now for material
experiment
1T is suggested to me that fund of
$1,000 be raised to further the idea.
One-half of it will go to the bride and
the bridegroom when they are married.
The other $500 will be theirs when the
first child is born. To start the ball
rolling, | can personally guarantee that
the sociological fund of the Medical
Review of Reviews will post $500.
Now, it is for some person or organ
ization interested to guarantee the 9TH

'"The lists are open to anybody who
chooses to enter the competition. We
bar no man nor woman who is willing
to be examined physically and mental
ly and to open the way for us to search
his or her ancestry for physical or
mental blemishes. The applicants shall
be examined by physicians of their own
sex.
Applicants Will Be Graded.
1--WE shall examine as many appli-
cants as may apply. They will be
graded on a percentage basis, and
when we are satisfied that we have
found one man and one woman who
indicate their abilities to be the par
ents of healthy, clean and normal chill
dren we shall make an effort to have
them marry.
Social class will not be considered.
We are examining the human animal,
not searching for Lochinvar. All ap-
plications may be sent to me at the
offices of the Medical Review of Re-
views"
Mr.. Robinson's Offices are located at
20S Broadway, New York city. On
the sociological fund committee with
him are Norman Hapgood, chairman;
Mrs. o. II. 2. Belmont, Eugene BrieuX,
