Further examples of this ambidextrous
work could be given, but they are not neces-
sary, since in every day life we can see
abundant proof of what is possible in this
direction. Piano players and organists, for
instance, have to train both hands Taking
these ard many other circumstances under
consideration, there can be no doubt that
children could be taught to use both hands
with equal freedom and facility, and, per-
haps, il they were left to themselves, the
result would be just the same. But it is inn
perative that a child should be taught to eat,
dress, play and write as quickly as possible.
This is patent To teach child to do all
these things with both hands would take
nearly, if not quite, twice as long as with one
hand only; and, therefore, as matter Of ex-
pediency, the latter course is generally adopt
ed and it must DO admitted that, taking all
things into consideration, it is the more judi
cious one On the ground of economy Of
time, then, it is extremely doubtful whether
