Dean Marion R. Trabue of the
School of Education debunks the
age-old herdity versus environ
ment argument.
Trabue Scoffs
At Old Argument
Dr. M. R. Traube, dean of the
School of Education, has a stand
ing quarrel with both sides of
the perennial controversy over
which is more important—heredi
ty or environment.
“The more-or-less general no
tion that in human achievement
there is a constant ratio between
the contributions of heredity and
of environment, is probably no
more, reliable than the popular
notions about many other scienti
fic. subjects,” he said, adding:
“I am convinced that, one of
the reasons we have made so little
progress in this field is the fact
that.we have been trying to find
out just what the ratio is, instead
of trying to find out how it
changes with increasing amounts
of environmental opportunities.”.
As evidence of the lack of any
constant ratio, he explained that
it would be impossible to say that
heredity and environment figure
in the same ratio at age 40 as at
age 20, in academic intelligence
as in social intelligence, or in such
abilities as bridgeplaying or pol
itical sagacity.
“Most of us would agree that
some traits are much more clearly
subject to training than others,”
he went on. “Ability in- spelling,
for example, seems to be more
specifically limited by one’s origi
nal nature than does ability in
reading.
“We can admit without more
proof. that nature sets the limit
for an individual’s ultimate de
velopment and perhaps for the
rate at which he can develop.
The degree to which he will ac
tually approach these limits must
depend, however, upon the ade
quacy of his environment.”
Dean Trabue is / chairman of the
education section of the American
Association fo rthe Advancement
of Science.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
Daily May Run
Weather Reports
As an added feature, the Daily
Collegian is negotiating with the
School of Mineral Industries to
provide a daily weather report for
publication. The report would be
printed in the upper left or right
comer of the front page.
Arrangements are being made
to have a report made up on the
night of publication so that the
Collegian can carry the prediction
for each day in that morning’s
issue.
The Geophysical Laboratory of
the School of Mineral Industries
established the weather bureau
during the second semester of last
year under the direction of Dr.
Helmut. Landsberg, assistant pro
fessor of geophysics.
Maps and charts are drawn up
in the morning and the report is
issued at 9 a. m. through the Stu
dent Union office.
The information provided by
the report covers sky aspects, pre
cipitation, wind velocity, and tem
perature expected during the day.
Included also are statistics on the
weather for the use of students
enrolled in the Civil Aeronautics
Authority course and special
weather reports for automobile
drivers.
lufz r Improved Condition
Allows Friends To Visit
After a month’s steady improve
ment from injuries received in a
plane crash on August 7, Sherm
Lutz, operator-manager of the
State College Air Depot, Inc. and
CAA instructor, is now permitted
to receive his friends at the Centre
County Hospital in Bellefonte.
Charles Neyhart, local high
school student who was injured
in the same accident with his in
structor, is still confined in the
hospital.

Lion Shrine Accepted
'ln Principle' By Trustees
The Lion Shrine has been ac
cepted “in principle” by the Board
of Trustees, Adrian O. Morse, as
sistant to the president in charge
of resident instruction, disclosed
yesterday in summing up progress
made on the'gift of the Class of
1940 to the College.
“No definite plans have been
made for the shrine,” Mr. Morse
said. “They must wait until the
gift has been carefully considered
by students, faculty and adminis
trative members, and alumni.”
Sites under consideration, ac
cording to Mr. Morse, are the Mall,
the campus north of Mary Beaver
White Hall and east of Shortlidge
Road, and in front of Rec Hall.
“The main difficulty, at pres
ent,” Mr. Morse said, “lies in re
conciling the desires of those who
want the shrine to be a monument
only and those who want it to be
a place for mass meetings.”
$2 Season Tickets
Go On Sale By Players
In an effort to “match the mov
ies,” the Penn State Players are
offering season tickets, good for
five shows and priced at $2 each,
Frank S. Neusbaum, assistant pro
fessor of dramatics, announced
yesterday.
The tickets are being sold by
Student Union and by solicitors.
Faculty members may order by
mail.
The season tickets, themselves,
are not for reserved seats but can
be exchanged at Student Union for
reserved seats a week before each
play, Professor Neusbaum said.
“Purchasers, of season tickets,”
he stated, “will save one dollar
during the course of the season.
Tickets for the five shows, bought
singly, will cost $3.

Book lllustraiiois
Now appearing in the display
cases in the lobby of the New Li
brary is an exhibition of book ill
ustrations which is being sent to
prominent libraries by the Amer
ican Institute of Graphic Arts.

reproductions for book illustra
tions are shown. The illustrations
are divided into three groups.
Those on pink backgrounds are
ones in which the artist has made

etchings, lithographs, and wood
cuts. Illustrations on gray back
grounds are ones in which the
artist’s work has been reproduced
photo-mechanically by process of
offset and gravure. Those on blue
backgrounds are ones in which the
artist and the mechanic have
worked together.
The exhibition includes work by
well-known artists among whom
are John Sloan, Edward A. Wilson,
Henry aVmum Poor, Reginald
Marsh, Rockwell Kent, and Grant
Wood. It will be on display until
September 27.
Total investment in the campus
