FALL AND WINTER ANIMAL STUDY. 455 



Note how quick and free (moving in all directions) are 

 the motions of the fore legs as compared with those of the 

 hind legs. In many ways kitty's fore legs are used like 

 our arms. 



Seeing and Hearing. Talk about kitty's habit of prowl- 

 ing around at night, and her power of seeing in the dark, 

 when we can see little or nothing. Show, if possible, the 

 acuteness of her hearing. 



Summary. An oral review, centring it about the 

 thought, " Ways in which kitty is smarter than we are/' 

 bringing out how and why (thinking of the plan or con- 

 struction of her body) kitty can walk, run, climb, creep, 

 and jump better than boys and girls can. 



LESSONS VII., VIII., AND IX. HOW KITTY IS FITTED FOR 

 HER, LIFE. 



Aim. To lead and help the children to see the " why " 

 and " how " of what they observe. Tell the children : 

 We have seen how kitty lives, and have learned that she 

 does some things that we would find it hard to do, and can 

 do some things much better than we can. Let us write 

 these on the blackboard : 



She keeps warm without any clothes or any " covers" at night. 



She drinks milk without a spoon or cup. 



She eats meat without a knife to cut it, or a fork to hold it. 



She washes herself without water or soap or wash-cloth. 



She keeps her hair smooth without brush or comb. 



She keeps herself just as clean as we do. 



She does all these things without any hands. 



She can run faster than we can. 



She can jump farther than we can. 



She can climb trees better than we can. 



To-day we will try to find out how kitty's body is made 

 (or how God has made kitty's body), so that she can do 

 these things so well.
