A meeting which at times waxed warm. One of the subjects for discussion
was Dr. McKim’s recent book, “Heredity and Human Progress.” The
consensus of opinion among the chaplains was that the cause of crime
is not psychological, as Dr. McKim tries to prove, but sociological,
and it behooves the churches especially to try not only to improve
the environments of the prisoners and ex-convicts, but to study more
closely the cause of crime.
