EDUCATION OF ANIMALS BY MAN. 273 



educated compared with uneducated animals and yet this 

 can be readily shown by the uselessness of certain untrained 

 or imperfectly trained individuals, and the usefulness of 

 certain others, highly trained or properly educated, of the 

 same species. Thus we are told of the uselessness of the. 

 Australian cattle dog from imperfect training (Baden Powell), 

 while the converse the high value or usefulness of the 

 trained sheep dog at home is too well known to require 

 any sort of proof here. The Scotch shepherd not only saves 

 himself endless trouble, but his master much money, by 

 training his dog to the gentle yet firm in other words, 

 judicious and skilful management of his charges, the sheep.
