all the character we have is con
stTuCted out OF our hereditary trmt4
and our experiences; chat inheritance
and our environment make Us.
II that as SO, TWINS ought TO be
more alike than they are.
But twins. ordinary twins, though
born at the same bIIln, ana having
identical hereditary introduction int
lie, do not live together every day
and hour; they have oportunlty to|
dlitt apart.
Different Personalities
Not 50 the SIamese twins and 9th

hour has either been away from the
other. Their character and disposition
ought to be Identical
But now we find in twins Of this
sort that their individuality is a.
marked as that of other children.
In the case Of the Filipino twins |

one boy was studious and The Other |
lazy.
In the case of Christine iIly, two |

ed with, the two heads net only car |
RED two different brains but differ

The Great Element
As for the S:amese twins, Chang
and Eng, one was jovial and the 9th
er morose.
When we have said all that can be
said for heredity and environment,
there is something in US tnat either
makes or unmakes US. Character is
not wholly matter of environment.
Heredity is a potent lorce, but It
can be outgroWn. Environment is
help or hindrance, but it alone does
not determine whether man shall be
good or bad, a failure or a success.
The first and permanent element
is the man himself.
