This observer. c.. M. Roach, 80
Allegheny Ave-, Takoma Park, Nd,
winner of today's award of one
copy of Harold Bell Wright's novel
"A Son of His Father.2 q story
dealing largely with heredity. which
started the argument, declares that
at one time in the DEVELOPMENT Of
the human race there was no such
q thing as heredity and that
environment itself is responsible for
the evolution of man and the
civilization which he has created.
Here is Mr.. Roach's argument:
1.-THE strongest force in the life
Of an individual is not heredity
but environment. The invisible
chains that bind us to our fathers
the thing that is called '.heredity''
once did not exist 1t is because
our ancestors vera thrown into
this or that Kind Of an environment
that they developed certain charac-
teristics Of either a physical or
mental kind.
First Men Fearless
Among the. first men there may
have been no such ching as fear,
but being unable to combat the
gigantic monsters that roamed the
world, they learned to flee before
them. Then, to protect their women
and children. some Of them were
forced to use their wits, or per.
haps their physical strength, In a
struggle against the animals.
"One, let us say, had no incen-
tive to fight. There was nothing
to force him to master his fear.
1t left its imprint on his nerve
centers and in the minute cells Of
his brain. His descendants know
fear more strongly than the
descendants of those who TO some
extent had to conquer it. Then in
the present day comes q boy who
fears his schoolmates. He shrinks
