Animals Are Not Proud.

Professor Schuster asserts that ami
mails lack moral feeling entirely, none
of their acts being immoral or moral in
the broad sense, and that they have no
trace OF q sense of shame or of honor.
Their courage, he declares, is "a mere
impulse of nature" and of moral cour-
age they know nothing. He continues:
"And animals have no pride in the
sense of mans conception of that quail
ity. They are not proud Of their kind,
of their kindred, Of their individuality
They neither have an individuality nor
are Individual Animals are not proud
because they have no consciousness of
the scope of the value of their kind, OF
their enterprise or of any other form
Of their capability. They are neither
supercilious, proud nor the contrary
