WASHINGTON, Dec. SO.-The clasMfl

plan advocated tonight by Assistant Sec

addresa before tha American Breeders'
association, on of ths organitatlona mak

Advancement of Science.
A a means of improving the heredity
of the human family Mr. Hays proposed
a classification of all human beings, both
as to mental aptitude and genetlo effi
ciency. Based on such knowledge as this
census would give, he said, would , de
velop "racial religion requiring the
genetically efficient to produce families
larger than the average, and those less
efficient to produce families smaller than
the average."
The world numbers, said Mr. Hays,
would serve to Join genealogies into one

fittest," he declared, "by keeping alive
many persons who Inherit weaknesses,
such as feeble-mlndedness or Insanity.
By paying attention to genetic efficiency
a race may make Itself stronger for the
economic contest among the races of the
world.'
"The proposed plan would somewhat
divide people Into clanses, but the classi
fication would be beneficent because It
would be based on racial efficiency. The
wholesome consideration of genetlo facts
will lead to less divorce, greater temper
ance and better morals. Raising the
average efficiency of the human race
probably would also Increase the number
of geniuses and leaders."
Discussion of the reasons for high
prices, the tendency of Immigration, the
development of better labor condition
and the progress of civic Improvements

Announcement of A. D. Sumner, one of
the officials ot the senate, that he Is a
candidate for congress from the . Third
Iowa district, ha served to call attention
to the fact it, Is not at all uncommon
for employes of the senate and house
to graduate Into congress. Sometime
they climb their way Into the house,, and
sometimes Into the senate.
Another conspicuous Instance of a house
official becoming a member of It Is found
In the election ot Aaher Hinds ot Maine, '
to represent the" First district of that
state. Mr. Hinds was long the house
parliamentarian and in that position be
came famous. ' ' ,
Arthur Pus Gorman, who became a dis
tinguished member of the senate from
Maryland, was once a page In tha sen
ate. Albert F. Dawson of lowa was long
secretary to Senator Allison, and then
waa elected to the house. Oddly enough,
hla successor, I. 8. Pepper, a democrat,
first came to Washington as secretary
to Judge M. J. Wade when he repre
sented the Second Iowa district.
