THE STORY OF TACTILE IMPRESSIONS 161 



There are many other ramifications, and many other 

 possibilities, of this educational gain in the possession 

 of a sensitive tactile hand ; there are the enormous advan- 

 tages of the opportunities of correlating and checking 

 impressions gained by other channels ; the encouragement 

 of the development of fine movements of the hands; 

 the ultimate possibility of using in the hand an object 

 judged to be useful (as a weapon or implement) by the 

 hand; and a host of others. These we will not discuss 

 here, but will leave for treatment, where their importance 

 demands it, as separate entities.
