A number of theories have teen

that people become rlght.handed

10 such o way Us to leave its right

perlence the habit Is acquired, which
runs through Its whole life.
It. Is also curious fact that the Oh.

or limbs on one side Of the body a.
compared with those on the other.
Monkeys especially are known to

Baldwin OF Princeton extended over

while the child was an infant. This,
however, was only In regard to Oh.

had to reach out for Thorn. When
OBJ ects we're placed near the child II
used both hands equally.
More than 1000 experiments Ol
this kind we're tried by Prof. Bald
win, ana when the objects reached
for were near its body 1t used bOtf
hands about an elual number Of
times. In stretching out, however,
1t almost invariably used its righ,

tendency Is inherited. Left.handet
