DIR. ]. I. SEARCY TALKS ON HEREDITY
FEMININE MEN AND MASCULINE WOMEN ARE SURE SIGN OF THE DETERIORATION OF THE RACE, SAYS THE SPEAKER.

University, July 7-(Special. )-Yesterday morning, before the summer school, Dr. James T. Searcy delivered very thoughtful and interesting address on the subject of "Heredity."
 To begin with, Dr. Searcy explained the phylum or thread of life, which in transi- tion presents two features, the morpho- logical and functional or physiological. in this transition variations are the rule.
 In every being we recognize two de- partments, the psychic and the sub psychic. It is the function of the former to obtain the necessaries of life, air, water, warmth and food and of the lat ter to distribute them through the body. The psychic is by far the most impor- tant and is most subject to hereditary influence, both psychic deterioration and psychic improvement being common. We often hear of the influence of environ ment, but the truth is that heredity IS far more important in influencing life.
 To psychic development and psychic inn provement are attributable many of the facts of history. Men and races differ infinitely in their powers of learning, req soning and execution. In some one or these predominates and in others another. If we look at history we can see now the rise and fall of Persian, Egyptian, Greek, Roman and Saracen civilizations Illustrate racial psychic development and deterioration. It Is fact that in the time of most rapid racial development the men are most manly and the women most womanly. When men become wom- ansh and women take mems places, we have a sure sign of racial deterioration.
 Dr. Searcy closed by showing now eh- vironment and heredity are the two most important things in racial growth. We must make the environment such that 1t will tend to the psychic improvement or the phyla. We can do this best by teach Ing the truths of biology and therepy dealing effectively with the matter or heredity
