"Tho thing that surprised mo most when I began to teach," said the instructor in-structor of a class of adults In manual training, "was tho number of peoplo who can not toll, Instinctively, tho right hand from tho loft. Fully n third of my pupils hesitated a moment beforo obeying Instructions to do this thing or that thing with tho right hand or tho left. Tho tiling that flxoa tho proper hand In their minds finally Is sonio Incident In which that baud has figured. Dy recalling that story they know which hand to uso. Ono of tho brightest women I know declares that tho only way sho can toll ono hand from tha other Is to remember tho tlmo when, as a child, slio tried to milk a cow and was sent flying heels ovor head. Sho approached tho animal from tho wrong side, and tho picture of tho position of her right hand thon Is so vivid that it enables her to distinguish-that moinbor to this day." |
