We do not know bow to act. Why does tliat man stare at me that way? What is the meaning of such behavior? We have no ready-mad- e behavior by which we can ad just ourselves to their behavior. Even the tiles, bugs and Insects are different Uow are we to know which are harmful or dangerous? At the edge of a park we meet a little green snake. It appears harm- less; it may be deadly poisonous, bow can we know? How do wc? How do we know the world outside our skin? We enter the native market. Piles of strange vegetables and fruits. But nothing that we know. We see only certain shapes, sizes. colors. But what are they inside sweet, bitter, mushy, hard, juicy? We do not know them. Our mouth does not water.

We have not seen a rat for forty years, but we have not forgotten rats; nor that a rat Is not to be caught with the bare bands. The world we know Is the world we explore with our fingers, tongue, eyes, ears, nose, and all the receptors with which our body Is so abundantly supplied on or in the surface or within. We know some objects, beings, qualities and quantities, well ; some, not so well. Included in this knowledge of objects are attitudes toward objects. We learn eventually to let sleeping dogs lie, and many objects, persons aud situations alone. Don't monkey with that! But we do. There is more monkey than rabbit In our Inheritance. As a result, a lively boy or girl of fifteen years knows as much as the "average American."

A child reaches out for a dog's tongue or a cat's paw: a f-ft bark, a meow, a bite, a scratch.
