bulletin of the jst. c. state board of health. 206 States that have only recently been admitted to the Union, of which our State was a charter member^ to go ahead of her in this respect. Her stockmen registered their thoroughbred horses, calves and pigs; her citizens, justly proud of their pure Anglo-Saxon blooded children should see that their births and deaths are officially recorded. We do not believe our State is so busy with her material resources that she can not take official cognizance of the coming and going of her children. Out in Kentucky they are accustomed to speak of the State Registration Office, where all deaths and births in the State are officially and permanently recorded, as Kentucky's Big Family Bible. A happy conception ! i)on't you wish that North Carolina had a great big family Bible like Kentucky's, where as one big family, a great commonwealth of brethren, our births and deaths would all be recorded together? Then ask your representative in the General Assembly of 1913 to get us one. RACE PRESERVATION* By Rev. George W. Lay, St. Mary's School, Raleigh. In speaking before a body of really scientific men, one like myself, who can not claim to be a scientist, is somewhat at a disadvantage, as he must choose some subject on which he is qualified to speak. Believing as I do that all things in nature and above nature are determined by the One Great Creator, I believe not only in the unity of nature but in the unity of all things. Much harm has come in the past from making too clear a division between the different departments of human knowledge, and from the fact that earnest students of the different phases of truth have often been too blind to the importance of other kinds of truth and to the interdependence of the different branches of human knowledge. I am not going to preach you a sermon, but wish to present a few ideas, not at all original, on Eugenics, the most important of the new sciences, and some points connected thereAvith. One of your number has called my attention to the fact that some studies in light and sound, formerly coming under the charge of physicists, have now been turned over to the charge of psychologists. We see here that natural science has resigned part of its former work to the domain of mental philosopsy. I believe that more and more the scientist must cooperate with the student of mental and moral truth, and on the other hand the theologian must consult more and more the facts of natural science, and that moralist and scientist alike will learn to sympathize with the w^ork of the other, and to cooperate, with the feeling that neither can be successful in his chosen field of special study without the help of the other. In the beginning we find, both by revelation and the study of nature, two great movements in the world of life, i. e., preservation of the individual and preservation of the race. We will confine ourselves to the animal kingdom. To insure these tAvo ends we find two sets of appetites or passions, Avhich man shares with the lower animals. The appetite ♦Read before the North Carolina Academy of Science at its annual meeting. 1912, at Chapel Hill.
