band of pioneer workers has ac-
complished a "0reat deal towards
'solving many problema for
mothers.

glés Gates, chair-
man of the bur
reau and a Fel-

Society, is work-
ing ,to full capa-
city.
Prof. Suggles
Gates states that
men and women
are at last giving
serious and sober
thought to the
idea of child-
rearing. They
want to know
whether to mar-
ry or not to mar-
ry, whether their

want our child to be musical. Do
you think he will be?'
The bureau was able to help this
anxious inquirer as the various here-
ditary facts in musical ability have
been ascertained.
Similarly, the bureau can already
reveal the secrets of eye color, of in-
herited tuberculosis, and of the trans-
mission of certain abilities. -
The organisation has undertaken a
strenuous task. The bureau itself is
""a storehouse for Information recelv
ed from all parts of the world con-
cerning the question of heredity. Fur-
ther 'research is uncovering addi-
tional data, every day.
In time, the files which have been
.accumulated by the bureau will ba
precious to every mother, and
information will fas made avail-
able to all inquiring parents.
