a biological point OF view they are
every bit as important as those in

Is the near relatives who, on the

must live on Its past reputation and
see the work Of the world done and
the prizes carried away by the

that a member OF a family makes Is
matter of vital concern to the
future Of the family: and this 10 one
of the lessons which a broad science
Of geneaology should inculcate in

are all. OF course. familiar with the
repositories which the different pa

ogies from a biological or statistical
point OF view.

devotes itself solely to the collection
OF data regarding longevity. and
sends out schedules to all those in
whose families there have been in

put the particulars on record, espe-
cially with reference to the ances-
try and habits of the long-lived in

You are all familiar with the
charge, OF long-standing. that gene
alogy is a subject of no use, a fad
OF privileged class. I do not need
to tell you that such. a charge Is
untrue. But l think that genealogy
can be made much more useful
