nF ALL The millions of individuals

man nature is this: How may one sc-
count for individual differences? II
we knew the answer, We might be
better able to get along in this world
OF ours,
The causes OF Individual differences
must run into the thousands. Nothing
is gained by attempting TO catalogue
them. But. roughly speaking, they
NAV be classified into Two groups
hereditary causes and environmental
causes. But these two causes work
together in various degrees OF domi-

problem will require years OF collective
