We see around us in the world of men an onward movement of life. There seems to be a vital impulse, of unknown origin, that tends to work ahead in innumerable directions and manners, each continuous with something of the same sort in the past. The whole thing appears to be a kind of growth, and we might add that it is an adaptive growth, meaning by this that the forms of life we see men, associations of men, traditions, institutions, conventions, theories, ideals are not separate or independent, but that the growth of each takes place in contact and interaction with that of others. Thusj any one phase of the movement, may be regarded as a| series of adaptations to other phases, iT hat the growth of persons is adaptive is apparent to every one. :E ach of us has energy and character, but not for an hour do these develop except by communication and adjustment with the persons and conditions about us.
