Just as the cosmos is a coherent whole and finds a firm foundation, thanks to the one and the same Ma- ture in which all its parts fit together, so also the universality of men, joined to each other by Nature, fall to quarrelling because of wickedness.

The mathematics teacher is to the beginning mathematics student as the seasoned guide is to the tenderfoot in the woods. Neither the beginning mathematics student nor the tenderfoot can interpret the signs that are readily available until the teacher or guide points them out. An important part of mathematical training is to make one aware of the clues that are present, their significance, and finally, their interpretation as applied to that particular situation. The ability to apply one’s knowledge requires that all necessary information has been carefully filed in one’s mind, in an orderly fashion, so that it can be carefully called upon. It also implies that information must be arranged so that one knows what tasks the various mathematical tools are designed to perform. Finally, the procedures must have been practiced until they become mastered and hence can be done reasonably free of careless errors. In conclusion, as part of a student's study habits, he ought to ask himself, What was it that I didn’t see, but that was really there to be seen, or what was it that I didn't know, but that 1 ought to have known? Thoreau stated we must keep in mind the discipline of looking always at what is to be seen. Rolin G.
