GEN. GEORGE c. REID,
j. S. N. C., IS DEAD
Ohio Man, Who Long Held
Commission, Also Was a
District Lawyer.

Brig. Gen. George @. Reid, U. s. NJ.
! c., retired, died this morning after a
brief illness at his residence, 2011 Colum-
bia road. General Reid was stricken
with apoplexy Friday He rallied for
a few hours after first becoming i'll, but
yesterday his condition became very
grave and this morning the end came.
Arrangements for the funeral have
not been completed. 1t is expected that
services will be held Tuesday and that
the interment will probably take place
at Arlington. A military funeral will
probably be held.
General Reid was seventy-four years
Of age. and served more than forty years
in the Marine Corps He spent much
Of his time during his active service in
Washington. and was identified with
many local organizations. He was born
at Lorain. Ohio, and was q student at
Oberlin College from 1850 until 1863, when
he was appointed an officer In the Ma
rine Corps. During his long service he
had many important duties assigned to
him and was rated very high. H's last
service was as adjutant and inspector
Of the entire corps. He was retired
with the rank q brigadier general in
December. 1904. when he reached the
age Of sixty-four. ssr
General Reid also was a lawyer. hav-
ing been graduated from the Columbian
University in this city and admitted to
practice before the District courts. His
wife was Miss Ada Savage. Of Washing
ton, and their marriage, which took
place in 1877. was one OF the social
events Of the year.

St. Patrick'S Admirers
To Celebrate in Dance

1t is not a matter Of record that st.
Patrick was a dancer. though the mod
ern celebrators of his fame regard
dancing as one Of the very best ways
in which to show their veneration OF
the saint on the annual recurrence Of
his feast day. Manager Bissell, Of the
Convention Hall dancing pavilion, be-
lieves that st. Patrick would be a
dancer IL he could attend the big st.
Patrick's Day festival that is to be a
part of the Tuesday night program at
his establishment.
This belief Is based on the fact that for
the first time in Washington a genuine
Irish reel will form a part of the dance
programme reel that can be danced by
everyone. And IL there are people at
tending the celebration who do not
know how to do it Mr.. Bissell or one
of his assistants will be there to show
the steps.

Like all new and startling the
ories, this thought of eusenlcs mas
won a large number of followers In
q relatively short time.
'The right of each child to be we'll
born has become generally recoS-
nized. The modern science. IL 1t can
be so-caIled. of eusenics, tends to
make 'well-born' a matter of ply
sical and mental health A we'll
born child is one who is physically
and mentally sound, and is not
handicapped by hereditary burdens.
1T has been strongly advocated
that marriages should be SO regu-
lated that contracting parties must
show a clean bill of health before
they should be allowed to marry. 1t
has been proposed that children and
young people should be well edu-
Gated and instructed in sex hygiene,
and in matters pertaining to the
production of offspring.
lit has been claimed that the re-
production of human stock should be
regulated somewhat in the same
way as breeders of animal stock and
of plants regulate their reproduc-
tion. 1t has been demanded that
mere passion and instinct should be
weeded out, and that men and wom-
en- should be taught to enter into
the holy state of matrimony with
open eyes and clear heads; perhaps
with cool hearts. 1t has been main
tanned that it is unwise to allow the
defective members of society to re-
produce their kind, and laws are
advocated which would legaliZe the
prevention of defective reproduction
minded persons.
Necessity of Caution.
TT would seem necessary to advise
caution and to suggest that the
specious arguments so far presented
should be further Investigated before
they can be accepted in full. ,
II fully agree with those who claim
that ignorance and innocence are not
Identical, and that 1t Is not well to
keep our children in the dark as to

ly opposed to the time-honored
method of telling children silly stories
and of avoiding the issue.
But 1t is equally wrong to think
that he or she who knows, is by vir-
tue of this knowledge better quail
fled to be virtuouS than those who
do not know. Virtue is a spiritual
element and requires a d ferent
training than mere education in sex

Future of Race In Doubt.
How is it that mankind has not
already become everywhere a dis
eased. broken down, degenerate
race?
1T would, indeed. be a triumph Of
eugenics IL the result Of Cross
breeding or selective breeding could
be accurately foretold, but at pres
ent, we have no knowledge of now
to produce desirable variations even
in domestic animals; wo have to wait
upon chance or accident.
ITO have q sane study of eugenics,
we must first Of all have a national
recording Of births and deaths and
their accompanying circumstances
should be kept, including as much of
the parental history as possible.
Registration should not be local
merely. but under the direction of
the State and Federal authorities. SO
that the family history of any indi-
vidual may be followed up at any
time.
Another step which is required
will be the development OF proper
methods Of testing, which would in
clude physiological function as " ell
as mental capacity and aptitude.
The cooperation Of the medical fra
ternity with the pedagogue and the
psychologist is necessary to establish
the proper criteria Of such investiga-
tions.
Sane Eugenics Needed.
"Out of such careful study and re-
search, we may gradually evolve
leading principles which will help us
to establish a real, sane science Of
eugenics.
Meanwhile. we may appeal to
parents that they should UNDER
stand that parenthood is a respon-
sib'e function, which must not be
too lightly assumed. They must be
made 10 feel that their duty Is not
only to themselves or their child
rem alone, but to the community and
society.
And let it be this further appeal
to the community; eugenics Is not
merely matter Of heredity. but also
of environment. If we can clean
up our cities and remove the ply
steal and moral filth from them: IL
we may have cleaner hearts and
minds; If we may have that subtle
and purifying influence of a hea thy
