LITTLE KNOWN OF HEREDITY
Much Talk on the Subject, But World
. still Awaits a Satisfactory
Explanation.

There are few subjects on which so
much scientific" nonsense is talked
and written as on heredity. Not very
much is known Of II as regards
plants, less of animals, and almost
nothing as regards humanity. writes
n. Fielding.Iiall in the Atlantic. To
read books on hcredity, especially
those Of the Eugenic society, is to read
mass of suppositions and hazardous
inductions where most Of the facts
are negative, and only the exceptions
are positive. The very meaning Of
hereditary" is not understood. II any
quality is truly hereditary, then 1t is
always hereditary. It never occurs
except as the results of heredity and
1t is constant. that is to say. It in
variably follows. But there Is no
quality Of which this can be said.
That genius is not hereditary ia
known. Even talent is not. Nor is
any aptitude. A lawyers son more
often wants to be a soldier or an art
list than lawyer. Notwithstanding the
environment, and It is 80 with most
professions. The exceptions seem to
be due to training and influence. not
to any hereditary transmission. A
superficial likeness to parents seems
hereditary, but that Is all that we can
assert, and that outward likeness by
no means infers an inward likeness.
There is nothing to attribute to hered-
ity what is due to training or want Of
training. It excuses supineness in
governments and professions.
