TEACHER H
HER H OF
HEBEDITV
She Finds lt ; a More Power
ful Factor in Life Than
Environment
NO subject, since the evolution
business was partly threshed out
last summer, apparently has gripped
Washington so tightly as the theme
of heredity vs. environment which
readers of this newspaper htive
been asked to discuss informally.
The thought has commanded the
attention. of higher minds and
mediocre minds as well, and if the
opposite types of mentality didn’t
give their full views the .matter
might well be said to have been only
partly settled. ■
The Washington Times wants to
know how you feel about the effect
of inherited qualities upon your
career as against /he effect of your
environments on your lives.’ In
fact, it is anxious to get you<view
point and is offering as an incen
tive a copy of the greatest current
book on the Subject of heredity,
Harold Bell '.’A Son of
His Father,” for the best expe
rience related to it in letter form
day to day.
TeaVher Has Won Book
The first winner of suph a book
is a teacher in one of Washington’s
graded schools.
Furthermore, the winner Is a
woman and she bases her conclu
sions on the fact that she has
guided many young minds along/
their ways 'and feels that she is
qualified to be heard. She has ob
served minutelytathe responsiveness
of these young minds, the offspring
of all types of fathers and moth
ers and feels that heredity is ever
the strongest influence upon the
lives of the young.
And' The Washington Times is
happy to introduce to its reading
public this student of stuttenln.
Public, meet Rose Mary Lamtdaae
of the Munroe School, Columbia
road, between Georgia . ier
man avenues —and
Miss Lambaise, allow us to pre
sent our reading public, which is
interested in everything which per
tains to our children and to our
educational system as a whole.
I naw «t*w mm V—s
Now that we all know . each
other; let us have Miss Lambaise s
conclusions in her own words, as
written to the Heredity Editor:
Her Views
Say» Miss Lambaise:
“The part which heredity plays
in molding, the life of a human
being is vitally interesting to me.
Since 1 am a teacher in the public
schools of Washington I come in
close contact with various types
of people. Necessarily I must be
an observer of human nature.
“As I glance over the register
of my pupils I find that Bobbie’s
father is an engineer. /
“Bobbie, of course, does not
show any tendency toward en
gineering, but he has a steady,
keen and alert mind. He reasons
through a problem in the most
logical and efficient manner, thus
1 indicating that the characteristics
\of the two are decidedly alike.
“Here is little Tom. His father
is a bricklayer. This child can
not reason clearly; he cannot solve
the simplest of problems. Give
him the type of work in which he
uses his hands and very little
mental effort is required, the
child will do good work. Nat
urally the characteristics of his
father show up; namely, that of a
laboring man, skilful in the use
of his hands.
“Mary’s mother is a dressmaker.
This little girl responds quickly
during lessons in which art, de
sign, and construction play the
most important part. No doubt
this child has inherited the artistic
ability of her mother.
“Are we teachers discouraged
because of these facts? No, be
cause we strive to help the chil
dren overcome the tendencies
which are a detriment to their
nature and develop those traits
which are desirable, noble, and
which lead toward better citizen
ship.”
What Do Yon Think
Do you agree with Miss Lambaise
or do you feel that she has under
stated or overstated her case?
Whichever you think, or if you
have an entirely different line of
reasoning, by all means give the
public the advantage of/it and per
chance be the next Winner of a
copy of Harold Bell Wright’s novel
treatise on heredity, entitled ‘‘A Son
of His Father. ’’ Address your cor
respondence to the Heredity Kditor
and write on but one sid- of the
'sheet.
