Jukes-Edwards: A Study in Education and Heredity

** "Jukes-Edwards: A Study in Education and Heredity" by Albert E. Winship is a comparative exploration of two distinct families to examine the influence of upbringing and genes on people's lives. The book begins by introducing the Jukes family, depicted as a line of societal failures marked by laziness, lack of knowledge, and criminal behavior. This paints them as a symbolic representation of societal problems. The narrative then sets the stage to contrast this family with the Edwards family, descendants of Jonathan Edwards. Alludes to how the Edwards lineage’s prosperity in intellect and moral integrity highlights education and positive surroundings, suggesting a deeper investigation into heritage and environment to showcase how significant education and conscious decisions are. **
