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 J must 
leave the discussion of this subject for another 
chapter.
