Excerpt from Geographic Factors in American History, a Laboratory Manual to Accompany the Study, of United States History
The viewpoint of this manual is that both heredity and environment play a part. There are characteristics peculiar to family and ethnic stocks which help to deter mine the result environment may produce. The charac ter of the matrix out of which development grows shapes the character of the resultant. There is something about each child or each people which is peculiarly its own, which renders it unlike any other individual or race in the world. All that environment and training can do is to develop what is already present.
