In his autobiography, Darwin himlf speaks of his intellectual powers with extraordinary modesty. He points out that he always experienced much difficulty in expressing himlf clearly and concily, but (46) he believes that this very difficulty may have had the compensating advantage of forcing him to think long and intently about every ntence, and thus enabling him to detect errors in reasoning and in his own obrvations. He disclaimed the posssion of any great quickness of apprehension or wit, such as distinguished Huxley. (47) He asrted, also, that his power to follow a long and purely abstract train of thought was very limited, for which reason he felt certain that he never could have succeeded with mathematics. His memory, too, he described as extensive, but hazy. So poor in one n was it that he never could remember for more than a few days a single date or a line of poetry.

ne, he submits, could have written it without posssing some power of reasoning. He was willing to asrt that "I have a fair share of invention, and of common n or judgment, such as every fairly successful lawyer or doctor must have, but not, I believe, in any higher degree." (49)charter He adds humbly that perhaps he was "superior to the common run of men in noticing things which easily escape attention, and in obrving them carefully."
Writing in the last year of his life, he expresd the opinion that in two or three respects his mind had changed during the preceding twenty or thirty years. Up to the age of thirty or beyond it poetry of many kinds gave him great pleasure. Formerly, too, pictures had given him considerable, and music very great, delight. In 1881, however, he said: "Now for many years I cannot endure to read a line of poetry. I have also almost lost my taste for pictures or music." (50) Darwin was convinced that the loss of the tastes was not only a loss of happiness, but might possibly be injurious to the intellect, and more probably to the moral character.

There is a marked difference between the education which everyone gets from living with
others, and the deliberate educating of the young. In the former ca the education is incidental; it is natural and important, but it is not the express reason of the association.46It may be said that the measure of the worth of any social institution is its effect in enlarging and improving experience; but this effect is not a part of its original motive. Religious associations began, for example, in the desire to cure the favor of overruling powers and to ward off evil influences; family life in the desire to gratify appetites and cure family perpetuity; systematic labor, for the most part, becau of enslavement to others, etc. 47Only gradually was the by-product of the institution noted, and only more gradually still was this effect considered as a directive factor in the conduct of the institution. Even today, in our industrial life, apart from certain values of industriousness and thrift, the intellectual and emotional reaction of the forms of human association under which the world's work is carried on receives little attention as compared with physical output.
But in dealing with the young, the fact of association itlf as an immediate human fact, gains in importance.48 While it is easy to ignore in our contact with them the effect of our
acts upon their disposition, it is not so easy as in dealing with adults. The need of training is too evident; the pressure to accomplish a change in their attitude and habits is too urgent to leave the conquences wholly out of account. 49Since our chief business with them is to enable them to share in a common life we cannot help considering whether or no we are forming the powers which will cure this ability. If humanity has made some headway in realizing that the ultimate value of every institution is its distinctively human effect we may well believe that this lesson has been learned largely through dealings with the young.

50 We are thus led to distinguish, within the broad educational process which we have been so far considering, a more formal kind of education -- that of direct tuition or schoolinghow do you do是什么意思. In undeveloped social groups, we find very little formal teaching and training. The groups mainly rely for instilling needed dispositions into the young upon the same sort of association which keeps the adults loyal to their group.

One basic weakness in a conrvation system bad wholly on economic motives is that most members of the land community have no economic value. Yet the creatures are members of the biotic community and, if its stability depends on its integrity, they are entitled to continuance.
When one of the noneconomic categories is threatened and, if we happen to love it .We invert excus to give it economic importance. At the beginning of century songbirds were suppod to be disappearing. (46) Scientists jumped to the rescue with some distinctly shaky evidence to the effect that incts would eat us up if birds failed to control them. the evidence had to be economic in order to be valid.
