That each by observation Might satisfy his mind.

The Fifth (ear) "Is mighty like a fan!"

The Sixth (tail) "Is very like a rope!"

The First (side) "Is very like a wall!"

The Second (tusk) "Is very like a spear!"

The Third (trunk) "Is very like a snake!"

And so these men of Indostan

Disputed loud and long, Each in his own opinion

Exceeding stiff and strong Though each was partly in the right.

And all were in the wrong!

GRAPHIC PRESENTATION

charts. Words are carefully studied before they are qualified for admittance in a dictionary. No one knows how many distinct types of graphic charts are already in established use.

Beneath the majority of the illustrations included here, there is a notation of "SCALE" to indicate the percentage reproduction of the original. In judging the effectiveness of any presentation it should be clearly kept in mind that, as here reduced, the illustration can not be as effective as in the size originally published. Also in the process of photographing, particularly in those charts taken from newsprint paper, the illustration is less clear. Halftones which here appear too black have been photographed from previously printed halftones rather than from original photographs.

If the subject matter of any illustration is of special interest to the user of this book, a reading glass may be used to enlarge the detail.

Because a frame around the chart may be interpreted falsely as a zero line, or base line, the liberty has been taken to remove frames from many illustrations. Changes have also been made in lettering or other details, when necessary, for reproduction in reduced sizes.
