Sherwood, N. 9. r. RAT meeting Of
the Epworth League at Hunts Nj. E. Church
on Friday evening, Goth inst, Dr. H. Burton
Stevenson delivered an address on 1.-The
Hereditary Influences over Vice and Crime"
He used many illustrations, mostly taken
from bis practice in the neighborhood, to show
that the hereditary influence over the mind
was as common as the transmission OF the
physical characteristics from the parent to the
child. He stated and proved that the hereditary
ted to the child plus the environment and edu-
cational developement of these characteristics
stamped the child with morality or immoral
ity; that the outward acts of the physical
body were but the objective symptoms of the
inward functioning of the brain centers, which
direct and control the part of the physical body
committing the act. If this act was one that
was called vice it was due to the improper
functioning of its controlling center was func-
tioning inconformity with the characteristic
impressed upon it by parent. In either case
it was perverted function produced by per-
verted, disease or pathological brain center.
The address closed with q forcible appeal for a
scientific study of vice and crime and an ap-
plication of scientific methods in the treatment
as the causes that produce crime.
