experiments-the laboratory being
the home. Thus the child was aid
ed in its three-fold development.
Weak women believe in luck or
lieve in cause and effect. We can
not tribe with this reality; this
cropping out in our children of the
core Of the world. No picture in
life can have any veracity that does
not permit this law of heredity:
"A mans life is looped in by a
necessity, which by many expert
he learns its arc"
Your child is the child Of your
thoughts and actions: try as i1ard
as you may to disbelieve this fact,
the world will give this general
verdict
One writer has emphasiz this
thus:
Young girls. young wives. young
mothers: You hold the scepter in
your souls. Much more than in the
laws of the legislators now repose
the futurity Of the world and the
destinies Of the human race
Importance of Heredity.
1t seems to me heredity is the most
important OF all. Volume upon
volume has been written and yet
more volumes will be necessary BE-
fore this all-pervading law, that
seems to be kept or broken at will,
shall demand our obedience.
This great law Of heredity affects
all animate creation. Each tiny
blade of grass unerringly obeys II
and the great oak is but the product.
OF the germ that was hidden In the
acorn she'll
ing interest the development OF the
little ones under my care; as I have
noted the good and evil Tendencies
of each child, l have endeaYored to
trace that tendency to its rightfuI
source.
Child study develops the theory of
cause. and effect. 1t makes no diff
ference what our vocation in life, a
knowledge Of the laws of hsredity
is OF infinite value. the question Of
the abolishing crime and disease to-
day rests upon this movement for
community child study clubs.
We must penetrate these serious
questions with the x-ray of thought.
The old laws and theories of reform
schools and jaiis for those bonn
in crime will not answer in this
century-old methods are passing
away-tust as the old punishments in
school have been abolished. and soon
man and woman will recognize the
law of interdependence and they
will penetrate and dissolve the gloom
of life. This will only come through
the study of cause and effect.
