Some animals have no childhood;
others have a short period: and yet others
like man, have a long period. When a
creature enters this world it finds itself
surrounded with physical and social con-
ditions with which it must struggle for
its very existence; and its success or fail-
ure depends upon how well it can mas-
ter this environment. Animals that are
prcdestiued to lead the simplest kind of
life are born with inherited tendencies
