Heredity means more than the trans-

mission of parental characteristics. As in chemical union compounds possess prn~. parties dill`ering from those of their con- stituents, so tho abilities and tendencies of children are frequeneutly dissimilar to those of parents. Genius is often of con- monplace parcntnge.

The philosophic nrind deals with

general principles ratlrcr than particular details, is capable of holding itself down on a given fact until it sees its difference from all other facts, learning thus to compare all facts of knowledge according to their llkenesses and difl`erences and view tircm to their lmrulonious relation to each other. i

think wrongly or ungrammaticaliy. A chllrl's intellect is conditioned on all sides by intellectual laws. No child ever thought ungrammutically, hut only the symbols of thought arc inaccurate.
