(Written Specially for The Bulletin)
 There are countries where trades
 gre hereditary. That is, the son of 6 carpenter becomes a carpenter, and
 the son of q cobbler q cobbler as q
 matter of course Their sons, like
 wise, become carpenters and cobblers
 and the sons of theIr sons, down to
 the last generation. It is almost who'll
 ly this way in Japan and China and
 India, largely so in Russia and some
 European countries. And. of course
 the son of a farmer becomes a farmer. That's settled as soon as he is born.
 1t is intimated by those who have travelled and lived in lands where this rule prevails, that it has two open and manifest results, at least. The first is that the craftsman attains an almost eerie dexterity with the tools he was brought up to use. They are apt to be clumsy and seem to Ameri- can eyes incapable of doing good work. Yet the native farmer, trained from infancy by watching his elders use them, and by personal habituation to
 them from the moment his tender sinews became equal to the strain, tho native farmer often accomplishes wort
 with them which amazes onlookers.
 The second result of this custom is that it prevents progress towards bet ter tools and still better work. Ac- customed from his very earliest years to doing certain things in exactly the way his fathers did them, with eX- actly the same tools, the craftsman
 eventually becomes a mere automaton Just because his tools are SC clumsy and his methods so unserviceable, h' | has to put all there is in him to thu l task of mastering them. There i! nothing left in him to make fol growth or out-reach. He becomes al l expert up to the limit of his poo contrivances, at the cost of all hi
 time and all his care and all his en
