THIS surname is derived from the
French personal name Raoul,
which corresponds to the name Ralph.
Other variations Of the name are
Rawlins. Rawlings and Rollins.
The armorial bearings here given
are ascribed to Francis Rawle. who.
with hi. son Francis. landed at Phil
adelphia in June, 1886, from England.
He came to this country to escape the
religious prosecutions inflicted upon
the Quakers. These arms are said to
be affixed upon the ancient manor
house at Hennett, in Cornwall, whence
this immigrant came. His ancestors
were lords of the manor Of TreSpar-
rett. moiety of the parish of St.
Juliott in Cornwall.
Francis Rawle was first pur-
chaser" under William Penn of $500
acres of land in Pennsylvania. accord
ing to deeds dated 1885 and 1886. He
founded colony which he called
Plymouth Friends" in Pennsylvania
His son, Francis Rawle. jr.. held many
Offices of importance and trust in the
PENNSYLVANIA colony and was the
author of several pamphlets on ques-
tions of the day concerning political
economy.
The motto-"Macte virtute'-which
is borne on the Rawle coat Of armor
is translated Increase in valor."

Psychology
BY DR.. JESSE w. SPROWLs.
Emotions.

HOW do you get your emotions?
This question has been banded
back and forth for years between
the environmentalists and the hered-
itarians. The whole question resem-
bles a foot ball game.
The environmentalists have always
said that We learn our emotions. The
hereditarians have always claimed
that emotions are handed down from
the race.
The question seems to stand as fol-
lows: You do inherit the capacity
Tor emotion. to be moved to action
by your feelings. But, on the other
hand. you do not inherit any par
ticular sort of emotion. The par
ticular types of emotional patterns
which characterize you or any one
else are learned. Learned in about
the same way you learn the multi
plioation table That is, you pick
them up from your environment.
This is an important pronounce
ment. If one acquires ones specific
emotional habits from ones sur
roundings, then the thing to do is
to protect the child from emotional
companions. I suspect there is lot
to this advice. Have you not noticed
that children reared in vicious sur
roundings usually display vicious
tendencies?
