clearing house.
2. To build up an analytical index of the traits of American families.
3. To train field workers to gather data of eugenical import.
4. To maintain a field force actually engaged in gathering such data.
5. To cooperate with other institutions and with persons concerned
with eugenical study.
6. To investigate the manner of inheritance of specific human traits.
7. To advise concerning the eugenical fitness of proposed marriages.
8. To publish results of researches.
