“If nature be regarded as the teacher and we poor human beings as her pupils, the human race presents a very curious picture. We all sit together at a lecture and possess the necessary principles for understanding it, yet we always pay more attention to the chatter of our fellow students than to the lecturer's discourse. Or, if our neighbor copies something down, we sneak it from him, stealing what he himself may have heard imperfectly, and add it to our own errors of spelling and opinion.” IfsHumansMayTogetherUnderstandingHuman BeingsPoorPayRaceAttentionOpinionPrinciplesTeacherHeardStudentsFellowsAddErrorsNeighborStealingCuriousHuman RaceCopiesDiscourseLecturesPupilsSneakSpellingLecturerChatter Author:Georg C.
