the quickest way to inherit methods in javascript via prototype

gistfile1.txt

// define a parent
var s = {
        print: function(x) {
                console.log(x);
        }
}

s.print('Hello World');
// now define a heir
var m = {};
// I think this is the quickest way to set s as ancestor
m.prototype = s;
// but it is not
m.print('foo');
