part of the mid-Pleistocene period to the colder climate of the later
part of the period. The early part is the age which is characterized in
this book. The later part will be treated in the next book. (For

Facts_, pp. 143 and 146.)
_Lesson XXXIII._ This lesson is intended to still further satisfy the
child regarding the questions which will probably arise in his mind from
the first, and which were partially satisfied then. The attempt has been
made in all cases where it has seemed possible, to speak frankly and
directly to the child. Had the aim been merely to please him, to excite
him by dramatic stories, it could have been done in a much easier way.
The simple and plain statements of fact have been made so as to enable
the child to _understand_. The suggested activities, together with other
normal forms of work and play, furnish sufficiently rich emotional
reactions. In the light of the racial experiences embodied in the
stories, these emotional reactions maintain their normal function as the
most powerful factor in the education of the child.
