282 CELL INTELLIGENCE THE CAUSE OP EVOLUTION 



the leg is going to be ; others where the brain and head 

 are going to be; another where the liver will be, and so 

 on Each group goes to work in harmony and with an 

 understanding with all the others. 



Let us now briefly consider what problems the cell has 

 to contend with, in the building of an animal or man. It 

 must remember the correct place to begin and the posi- 

 tion of every part must be calculated to the minutest frac- 

 tion in its relation to other parts. We see from their 

 actions that the true position and place of every part must 

 be profoundly inscribed in their memory. Even if some 

 accident happened to displace them, they do not get mixed 

 up and forget the true position of the parts, but they take 

 their correct positions again. Perfect plans and outlines 

 of the structures must be indelibly fixed in their memory. 

 In this little room we call the womb, provided specifically 

 for their work, sheltered from the elements and disturb- 

 ances of the outside world, they must lay the foundations 

 of the future structure, keeping in mind that their struc- 

 ture must soon be moved outside. There must be assur- 

 ance of memory, accurate calculation, skill and faithful 

 industry. This multitude of independent intellects ac- 

 cept their work and proceed in perfect harmony and com- 

 plete their allotted tasks, if possible. They never get 

 discouraged, disappointed nor lose faith in the future or 

 the purpose for which they start to work. In a room with 

 nothing to direct them, they must lay the plans for the 

 future cell republic, and correctly they must mark out 

 the locations of the parts of the machine or habitation 

 that must be produced as quickly and economically as 

 possible. In this labyrinth of complicated parts existing 

 only in their memory, the numerous requirements of the 

 large cell colony must be considered. They must remem- 

 ber how the different needs of the cell colony or city were
