Note to the Teacher.—In the horse are combined both 
work and speed to greater useful advantage than in any 
other animal. The early wild horses were swift and 
strong, and these two qualities have been still further 
developed since man has taken these beasts into his 
keeping. It is not out of place to honor and caress 
this noble animal, which, sturdier, stronger and fleeter 
than ourselves, is, nevertheless, one of the most service- 
able and devoted of all domestic animals.
