But the proposition advanced that
environment and not heredity de-
termines the character of the child
cannot be sustained. No delegates gave
more than an amused thought to this
pronouncement, because, if there is
one single thing that science knows, it
is that like will produce like" and that
heredity alone rules in human develop

Another worthless statement was that
of delegate who advocated the estab-
lishment of system of polygamy to
do away with certain social evils. The
latest census shows that there are about
a million more women in the United

even the most hopeless old maid would
sanction a condition which, while it
might remove her from her state Of
loneliness, would compel her to share
a husband with several other women.
