ronment has a greater influence on
careers than has heredity.
Some of the most successful per-
sons of our American life have
been interviewed on this same sub
ject and the opinions are as oppo-
cite as the poles. David Belasco'
dramas foremost figure, declares
his success could not have teen
achieved unless his father and
mother had both had ar aptitude
for the stage.
Doctor Royal s. Copeland, Sen
ator from New York and former
health commissioner of New YORK

| Doctor Copeland comedies that
character and morals are passed
down by word of mouth and by
example from fathers and mothers,
but he argues that each Of us has
SO many ancestors that the in
stincts of any of them have little
chance of actually shaping our
destinies.
Champion Golfers Differ
Charles Chick Evans, former ma
tionaf open golf champion, can't
credit any of his immediate fore
bears for his success as a golfer
or as a business man, because golf
wasn't a widely played game, even
in his fathers day, and his father
was a librarian who devoted his
time to biological studies.
On the other paw, Miss Glenna
ColIett, woman champion, took up
the game where her father left off,
Her dad was active In Ill sports
and excelled in golf, and she be-
