their respects. Among them was
Squire Goodau. He pretended that
he hadn't heard of her good fortune.
He asked her how her uncle was get
tin along and remarked that if she
needed a side of bacon or two he
would willingly fetch it over to her.
She beamed on him and he lodged,
but stood it. He told her he'd like to
make her a present of his horse and
she thanked him and took It, and he
walked home. He dreamed about her
that night and it was nightmare, but
he decided that he was in love with
her. Two days later he went back
and made her a present of a COW.
She smacked her mouth and took the
COW, and lowed he was the sweetest
man. He thought so, too. but didn't
say so. Well, shortly afterward he
proposed to her and she accepted him.
They were married and the neighbors
came in to drink cider and eat ginger
cake. Just after the ceremony up

fuenced in all its various dependen-
cies. Heredity ought to be subject
of the curriculum in the medical
course of every college and university.
Its normal as we'll as it's diseased con-
dition-that is, its physiology as we'll
as its pathology-must become as fa-
m;liar as those of the heart or lungs.
The investigator will be called upon
to differentiate the Unborn from the
acquired characteristics; those given
by nature from those produced by
pcst-natal influences. Even this very
elementary classification offers an un-
limited field for study, and at the
same time probably contains the es-
sential factors for true scientific
foundation. To illustrate the value of
this subdivision we may draw upon
several of the accepted popular
truths. It is generally agreed that
Unborn traits" are directly transmit
ted, are in fact and substance heredi-
tary, while those acquired are not.
Are we not all interested in the ques-
ton, Does feeble health in parent
transmit feeble health in its offspring,
i. e., does the parent of necessity give
like inborn qualities to the child? This
inference seems so logical that it has
become almost an axiom, if not an ac-

the species? The scientific answer to
that question is the solution of the en-
tire problem of "heredity transmits
sion." We cannot now give the an
swer; but it may be suggested by an
attempted analysis of the methods en-
ployed by nature to render immune
any large section of the race against
factors which are. destructive to the
individual, but perchance constructive
to the species. The viticulturist in his
evolution of a resistant stock" sac
rifices many individuals, but his meas
ures gradually develop a species"
which is resistant. The individuals
are no longer sacrifices because the
conditions for acquired necessities,
that is. outside influences, are unable
to vitiate the Unborn or transmitten
conditions. All this is but a limited
reference to one phase of the subject,
and necessarily leave untouched the
great factor of procreation.
A subject so unheeded in its i'm
pcrtance, but so powerful in its pos
sibilities, that it almost annuls the
popularity of the belief that man is
now the noblest. If he is as good as
he is by accident, what would be his
standard if he was scientific output?

duction of intelligence if not of sci

cepted belief by popular acclamation
The fact is. that no relationship is less
understood, and upon none are more
grievous errors committed, both by
professional and laity. This is just
one of those points where there is no
scientific proof and consequently no
established scientific inference. We are
not yet in possession of the laws which
govern the reaction of acquired traits
upon inborn traits and vice versa.
We have but recently seen human
ity emancipated from one of these
truths by the revelation of fact in
the matter of tuberculosis. 1t was not
the popular belief, with all the fatality
of superstition, that tubercular pa
rent ipse facto bequeathod tuberculo-
sis to its offspring, but.th fate was ac-
cepted with all the callousness of
resignation. AS result. no effort on
the part of the community nor on the
part of the victim was put forth to
counteract the law of nature
With the scientific light thrown upon
the popular belief, by the admission
of germ as the factor of causation,
the entire situation became changed.
It was discovered that it was the in

ence, the higher a coincident. The
reproduction of the species along lines
of arrangement surely is desirable;
its possibilities a problem which will
yet be esteemed worthy of solution.
A few days ago the president Of the
Clark University made a statement,
frequently before noted, that higher
education develops race suicide" The
science OF sociology would. If it ex-
listed, have on this statement a con-
clusion of fact; substituted for a de-
duction of surmise. 1t is difficult to
believe that education is a cause Of
sterility." Would we not almost treat
as grotesque the statement that repro
duction, a biological factor, is neu-
tralized by education, an acquired one?
The capabilities to reproduce num-
bers is not a result of education
but the result of knowledge; and the
same knowledge in the uneducated
will produce a corresponding -steril-
ity." This outcome of knowledge"
is new ethic; the play of the indi-

hoped that ere long the individual and
the species may have that scientific
unity which will insure and enable
the highest standard Of possibility and

have committed murder. But murder
is not the principle of the poor Riches
have oppressed, have been heartless,
but that is not the spirit of money.
Money is every mans servant. If he
permits 1T to become his master, he
suffers for it. Money discovered Amer
lea, and you must admit that this coun-
try has been a blessing to the human
race. Columbus was looking for a road
over which he could transport wealth
Men seeking for fortunes have made
about all the discoveries on the face of
the earth. The rudder of the ship is
the universal tongue of the gospel
Science may sail and discover and
come back and report; but commerce
halts and builds up the country"
Then the professor thought to sound
deadener with the following: But
do you think it right to marry for
money!"
Well drawled the old man, wink
ing slyly at one of his neighbors, mot
unless you love the woman that has
money. Most of men love women on
account of beauty or some other at
traction, and money has the faculty of
maxim both men and women powerful

that used to live not far from here
She was so ugly that horses would get
scared at her. And her homeliness
wasn't goodness, either. She had
disposition like a porcupine. No mat
ter from what direction you might
approach her there was a quill Folks
didn't like to pass her house. for she'd
come out on the veranda and shout
vitriol at them. The hip bones of pow
erty stuck up through her farm. She
just about made livin'. But one day

was the line of defense in preventing
or overcoming the disease. The entire
position became changed, and instead
of hopeless indifference, intelligent ac-
t1vity stimulated both community and
individual into saving grace. Preven-
ton is now the watchword, not hered-
ity. Such is the result of a scien-
tific acquaintance with one single fact
in sociology. The entire pathology OF
tubercular inheritance has been
dumfounded. If the clearing away
of delusion in this one sociological
factor has done so much, is it not self
evident how startling would be the
revolution, if the entire subject was
founded. upon scientific basis? We
must however, recognize that the
problem is a complex one.
Following up our illustration the
student on heredity would naturally
ask the question-has this individual

fact altered-hereditary influences

to the poor. And, gettin' down lit
tie closer to the Bible, it appears to
me that about all of the Lords most
favored servants We're rich. On one
man he smiled and his cattle in

Very true" admitted the professor,
"but don't you believe that in America
the present struggle for money is about
to ruin the country"

- ACE improvement is a topic
which so far has naught save
gH a battledore and shuttlecock ex-
istence; banded about from one
theory to another, interpreted
now by one faction, then denied by
second, until the conclusion is forced
that there is no abiding faith, much
less a dogma Not to concede that
there are laws controlling sociology
would be simply to relegate it to the
condition of mere output of chaos.
To ascribe to chance all the many
evolutions which nature has employed
in her productive processes would be
scarcely less reasonable. When the
systematic study of these factors of
guidance and their consequent reac-
ton upon man as an individual, and
collectively as a species, are reduced
to the accuracy of an applied science,
then and not until then will sociology
become an organic entity-and not as
it now is, a mere spluttering of pre-
judices and random guesswork.

and then decides to build a college or
to found a library. He wants to leave
a foot print. He wants to be remem-
bered by the racers who are to come
after him.
'Ah,' sighed the professor, but how
about those who are run over-whose
lives are crushed out? How about the
millions that are ground down? How
about the. man who is not willing that
labor should have its dpe?"

- T the schoolhouse there had been
IL a lecture in sweeping denuncia-
il ton Of all wealth. Shaking his
black name and seeming to pop
his forefnger, the lecturer, in a sort of
frenzy, had declared the dollar to be
the enemy Of the human race. There
was no hotel in the neighborhood, so
the lecturer went home with old Linn
uel Jucklin- Several of the neighbors
dropped in. Having been dazzled by
the speaker they wondered if Limuel
were to be flashed into silence" The
speaker, Professor Corners, had been
pleased with his audience. He had
not been able TO distinguish the differ

astonishment. Beside the Jucklin fire.
side he would continue the conquest.
He regarded himself as a factor in the
coming revolution, and he knew that
all great revolutions begin at the
hearthstone.
Il always like to hear man talk
when he appears to believe what he
has to say" remarked old Lin. THE
fact that the fiddler is in earnest adds
a good deal TO the quality of the fid-
dim. But man may be sincere and
at the same time fiddle out a tune that
there amt much music in. So, Pro-
fessor, you say that the dollar is the
curse of the human race?"
We'll, yes, 1 may SO concentrate the
trouble of the world into the dollar"
"Ah, hah. But don't you think that
the dollar represents the concentra-
ton of mans incentive to work? The
greatest curse that could fall upon
man would be idleness. In all ages,
so far as L have been able to gather,
work has been the salvation of man.
Enjoyments and all sorts of sports and
pleasures wear out. but labor en-
dures."
You forget" said the professor,
that labor was first put upon man as
a penalty, as a curse for disobedience."
NO. 1 don't forget that. 1 don't
forget that it may appear that way.
But Adam wasn't thoroughly satisfied
with idleness. If he had been he
The San Francisco call., 1905-02-26

would have let good enough alone. He
wouldn't have eaten the forbidden
fruit when Eve offered it to him. He
didn't have anything to occupy his
mind and he yielded. But leavin' the
things that we can never know much
day, we see the virtue of work and the
evil of idleness. Money is the essence
Of industry Without it all life would
be confusion
termed the root of all evil" said the
professor.
The neighbors looked at Jucklin, and
old man Brizentine silently pressed a
dollar which he had received that day
for the hire of horse and breathed
hard. YES" admitted Linn, that's
so. But the love of money amt money
itself-ain't the use of it. We COM
mend a man for savin' his dollars, but
if every man were to save to the very
closest life would hardly be worth
livin' That's where an abundance Of
money comes in as virtue, whereas
a little money might be an evil. When
we have a great deal we are inclined
TO spend and this makes others pros
porous. Out of wealth grows leisure
and out Of leisure there grows and
blooms a very precious plant. It's
name is knowledge. Money is the
,,,,o+bar Of ccianca and therefore of
health. 1t amt true that poverty is
always blessed with good digestion.
Poverty is not cleanliness and there
fore is not next to godliness. Poverty
is a crime, not restin' on the indi-
vidual, perhaps, but havin' its cause
somewhere among the errors of those
who went before. 1 see, professor,
that you are rather apt in citin' the
Bible. If it hadn't been for money the
