24 OLD BLACK BASS 



the family was not a mass struggling col- 

 lectively ; it was an aggregate of individuals, 

 each expressive both of the native tendencies 

 born with his organism and of the scars he 

 had received in his own life struggles. 



Because of this individuation the family 

 may no longer be considered en masse, but 

 separately, each as playing his distinct role 

 in the great act we call life.
