WAYS OF NATURE 



Probably the President and I differ more in the 

 meaning we attach to the same words than in any- 

 thing else. In a subsequent letter he says : " I think 

 the chief difference between you and me in the mat- 

 ter is one of terminology. When I speak of uncon- 

 scious teaching, I really mean simply acting in a 

 manner which arouses imitation." 



Imitation is no doubt the key to the whole matter. 

 The animals unconsciously teach their young by 

 their example, and in no other way. But I must 

 leave the discussion of this subject for another 

 chapter.
