"Royal George" Address
04.
in has "Royal George" address,
Principal Plumsteel outlined the
axle and importance of the heredi-
ty factor in the shaping of person-
•uiity and character, a factor the
speaker believed to be of prime im-
portance in the physiological and
psychological construction of hu-
man -beings. After reference to
the Darwinian theory of evolution
and a •brief explanation of Gregor
Menders genetic experiments with
peas and how these experiments
provided a scientifichasis for stock
breeding, Mr. Plumsteel illustrated
a. "sex link," hereditary trait in his
own colorblindness.
Later in his talk the 'speaker
revealed that, in a study, of rela-
tive levels of intelligence among
Canadian youth, "we are not edu-
cating the number of young people
who have the ability to take that
education." He warned against the
attitude of some parents toward
subjects fwhich are designed to im-
plant in students an appreciation
of our "social heritage."

Campaign To Remove Debt
Because these subjects may have
m> apparent value in dollars and
cents, he said, a few parents are
too ready to discount their worth
in young people. The speaker in-
dicated that if this attitnde•beeanie
prevalent, and If such subjects
were eliminated from high school
curricula, our young people would
be lett -with no foundation for a
"social heritage," or no nourish-
ment for our ethnical culture.
Mr. Plnmsteel was introduced by
K. 1. McLean and was thanked, at
the close of his address, by C. M.
Smith: + ti
