Abstract

The development of the human body is favored, retarded, or disordered, according to the general laws of organization, in the same way as that of other living beings. Consequently children participate in the bodily configuration and constitution of their parents, and also in their tendencies to particular manifestations of the mind, these being dependent on the individual parts of the brain. The elucidation of these subjects is indispensable to a sound system of education. Nay, I am convinced, that this condition exerts a greater and more permanent influence than any other which can be introduced with the view of perfecting mankind. Let us first consider how other organized beings are improved. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
