Environment the
Greater Factor
Heredity Doesn't Count so
Much as Some Like to
Think, Says Mr.. Quick
BY HERBERT QUICK.

Every Bedouin is a habitual Grim
inal!
That is, he robs travellers whenever
he can.
If he were to do this in the United
States he would be arrested, and final
sentenced to prison for life as a ha-
bitual. and hopelessly incorrigible
criminal
If the alienistS and eugenists Of the
United states were allowed TO vote on
his case, he would be subjected to sur
gerry for the purpose Of making ii i'm
possible for him to perpetuate what
these scientific gentry would call a
tainted blood stream.
For they regard the habitual Grim
inal as psychologically defective, and
habitual delinquency a stigma of de-
generacy.
And yet, every sensible man knows
that the Bedouin possesses as good
heredity as exists on the globe. He and
his horse are both splendidly bred
creatures. whose brains and muscles
are healthy and resilient.
The BedOuin is a habitual violator
of our code because he has been
brought up 10 believe in robbery.
Purely a matter of environment
The same is true of our own ha-
bitual criminals. Some of them are
more or less feeble minded, and the
victims of degeneracy. and afflicted
with phobia Of one sort or another.
Most of them are delinquent, however,
because OF their environment, rather
than their heredity.
DR.. William Healy Of the Chicago
pathological laboratory, attached to
the city juvenile court, offered facts
supporting this view, TO a gathering of
alieneists. He had examined 1000
cases of incorrigibles and found that
$50 of them had no discoverable men
tai defects whatever
Probably this is a better record than
would be scored by a thousand alien
lists. or a thousand bankers, or a
thousand editors, or thousand people
chosen at random, if the alienists were
allowed 10 be the judges
DR.. Healy asserted that mental de
fectives are disprOportiOnately numer-
Gus among detected criminals, for the
very obvious reason that they are
more easily caught-and even so, so
percent Of them are mentally perfect
ly sound.
Change the environment of defect
ives even. and few of them would be-
come criminals. Most Of the defect.
ives who are parents, have normal
children: and the children of the
criminals of normal mind would be

if given the right environment.
The heredity theory of crime is a
comforting one for some. because we
cannot change the heredity of our fell
low men. Their environment is
largely determined by our laws and
Institutions Any theory which calls
for a change in the laws is unpopular.
Any which accepts the condition of
the poor and disinherited as the fault
of themselves or their ancestors, is
sure to be popular. In way, the
heredity theory is a eOwardly, stand
pat theory

EXAMINATION OF PUPILS
REVEALS MANY ILLS

HUNTINGTON, Ind, Sept. 1s.-An
examination OF 104 pupils of the
Huntington public schools has
brought TO light some interesting
facts concerning the physical condi-
ton OF children. OF the total mum
Der examined II were found to be de-
fective in vision to such an extent
that their studies are seriously inter-
fered with. Thirty-six were suffering
from enlarged or diseased tonsils,
complicated with adenoids in some
instances. One child was suffering
from a severe case OF tonsilitis. Two
children had been victims Of infan-
tile paralysis and nine were defective
in their hearing, due solely TO lack of
care OF their ears. The dental ex-
animation revealed only IA pupils
with perfect teeth. The teeth of the
80 others needed attention. Sixteen
OF the 80 had never used a tooth
brush and four of them had teeth so
badly out of line as to disturb their
facial expression. Seventy seven
teeth that should be extracted were
discovered and 246 cavities that need
ed filling were found during the den
tai examination. These examinations
were held at the Allen ST school. The
children Of the other schools in the
city will be examined in the next few
DAYS
