T o say that wealth and a distinguished ancestry are
handicap to one who wishes to be la the highest degree
useful In life Is no more true than It would lie to say
the same o f a good constitution or a system free from
hereditary taint. T o say that they diminish the lncentlv
to struggle with and overcom e obstacles is true enough,
since one who starts with great advantages does not have
so far to lift himself and need not do as much hard work
In hand-over-hand climbing. That In many ins,am es the
sons o f rich and even great men s h o w . degeneracy and
relapse Into obscurity is unquestionably true, but It would
not be difficult to show that poverty, an Illiterate ancestry,
and the lack of Incentive to self-improvement hold millions
annually at the bottom round o f the social ladder, because
they are Incomparably better lltted to stay there than to
asceud. Heredity counts fo r a great deal, and it Is a safe
generalization that the better a man's ancestry the better
his chances o f developing a high, well-directed, and sus
talneil ambition. That this is not an inflexible law o f
