What he feels he makes known; as soon as he can talk, he tells all he knows. If he is happy, he laughs; if he is sad, he cries. Only older folks learn to inhibit their thoughts and to conceal what goes on in the heart and brain. In other words; man is a reacting organism, and ex pression is the reactive phase of mental life. It is the only evidence we have that there is mental life, and is the sole measure of a man's power and useful ness in the world.
