Temperament is hereditary and as
little alterable as stature, says DR..
Davenport and in seeking to explain
the great diversity in temperaments he
makes the hypothesis that there are in
volved in the inheritance of tempera-
ment two factors-one which induces
more or less periodic excitability and
whose absence results in calmness, an
other which makes for normal cheer
more or less periodic depression, these
factors being inherited independently
nd occurring in any combination.
Persons may be divided into calm.

Ioesree of eXcitability, and into cheer

combining these two classes-namely,

have to be killed because they are
