EUGENICS AND SOCIAL HEREDITY.

EUGENICS AND SOCIAL HEREDITY
Enthusiastic apostles of eugenics
are called to task by Prof. H. w
Conn of the Wesleyan University a
Middletown, Conn, in an article in {
current magazine, for their failure tt
distinguish between the evolution OF
animals and the evolution of man
In their stressing of organic inherit
ance he charges them with overlook
ing the fact that man is sui generis
and that his social inheritance is
probably more important than his or
ganic. He insists that mental and
ethical tendencies contributed by or
ganic inheritance are few and vague
while social inheritance is great and
increases with successive generations
the invention of printing and other
forms of preserving the achievements
of the race having made this trans
mission cumulative almost beyond
conception.
He illustrates concretely by stating
that among animals the individual
counts in the progress of evolution
only through it's offspring. The ami
NAL that dies without offspring has
contributed nothing to the race, has
left no trace, no inheritance. With
mankind it is different George
Washington left no offspring at all,
but his contribution to the people of
America and even to the people of the
world can hardly be measured.
Luther changed the whole course of
thought of millions, but not through
his personal posterity. DR.. Conn
might have used every Roman Catho-
lie clergyman, whether pope or
priest, who has influenced his time or
future times as another, illustration.
Lincoln left a stamp upon our civili
cation "in marks that can never be
erased" DR.. Conn might have added
that the stories of the life of Wash
ington and the sympathetic aid of a
had more to do with |
shaping his character and inspiring |
his ambition than any organic inher-
itance from father or mother.
Dr. Conn's article revives the an
cient controversy as to heredity and
environment. While not underesti
mating the value of eugenics, it is
we'll to bear in mind that our civiliza-
ion is the result of social inheritance.

expects to visit. He will begin his tour
in London December %, and he will
then visit France and Germany. At.

There was very little to live upon,
yet, Mrs. Wreath made it do. They
had a kitchen garden and they raised
chickens. Sometimes, Geraldine sold a
little picture she had painted. Paint
ing was her one asset and that Of
little account in the crude mill town.
She was afraid to go into the world to
learn anything new. She had been
brought up to the life she was leading
the quiet, sheltered, home life OF timd.
delicately born woman. She did not rebel,
but she hungered in her loneliness. She
was indeed the last rose, and she was fad
ing unseen in the midst of her fadeless
memories.
Her love for Heth Douglas had been
the one powerful element in her life, and
though the passionate fire Of it had
burned down now from scorching flame
to an unvarying glow. it still possessed
her. She rose with her love in the morn
ing and lay down with 1t at night. Some
times she dreamed happy dreams of his

him. Her daytimes were saner. She
thought of him as she thought of her
youth-a beautiful vanished thing that no
wooing could win back to her. She had
never blamed him. There had been some
thing unworthy, some flaw in her, else
she could have held him. Hers was the
fault, not his. He would have stayed

The Bloody Knife.
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.
Copyright, 1913. By Frank C1ane.)

We make q deal Of pother and spent
considerable sums Of money to secure fol
the children an education.
By education we generally mean read
In, 'ritin' and 'rithmetic. the three RS
with q dash Of the ologies.
But a child gets much more body. mint
and soul stun out Of his play than out o
his study: which truth Emerson turnef
into an epigram: 1.-THE schooiboy learns
more from the book under the desk thar
from the book on the desk.
The acquisition Of the three Rs - care
fully supervised by the teacher. At re
cess and before and after school the chilt
is let run and acts upon his own unguid
ed initiative.
It might be an interesting experiment
to call arithmetic and geography play
and to have the pupil make games o.
them, doing as he may be pleased; and tt
have the teacher take charge Of his vaca
sports.
Out in Gary, Ind, they do this. They
have playground teachers.
It is much harder to teach children how
to play than to see that they work Fol
the former, it takes a natural born teach
ing genius and real child love; any place
holder can do the latter.
The essential element Of efficiency In 9
teacher is the ability to make play out Of
work.
In q toyshop in an American city there
has recently been offered for sale won
derful plaything-a small. sharp bowie
knife, with a red splotch Of paint on the
blade representing blood. With these
knives the little darlings can play bandit
and robber with delightful realism.
Who Is there that can imagine child
can get in one hours Sunday school in
struction enough antidote to counterac,
the moral effect Of six days amusemen,
with a bloody knife?
The bloody knife stands for q whole
series of forms Of play that are democrat
izing. In their street games children de-
velop destructive tendencies. That seems
to come by nature.
Constructive and wholesome games, OF
building. devising and identifying. could
be made as interesting as murder. vio-
lence and theft; only they must be
taught.
It is much the same with grown-ups
Our character is determined more by our
amusements than by our occupation
What sort OF fun man likes means vastly
more, by way Of showing what kind OF
man he is, than the character Of his
work. The state-that Is to say. the peo-
ple-has never realized the importance OF
amusements.
Is it not time to ask ourselves how we
and our children are diverting ourselves,
when we see imitation blOodstained
knives for sale in the shops?

Heth was going. too. Nothing had been

he was going! Why? Because his ia
ther, perhaps he himself, had higher aims

Good-by, then. and good luck to you!"
She tried to hum an air carelessly
as she went. Thrice she saw him turn
as if to come back to her, but she
made no sign. So he went on through
the gate, which changed fast after him
in the high wall. She heard his horse
gallop down the road toward town and
every hoof fall beat misery into her
heart. So he went and he never came
