forefathers assembled to their
domiciles by means of the tree
trunks, next they progressed to
dwellings built upon the gound
and naturally invented a rude
ladder by which to mount to the
upper floors; they then developed
the s%tairways, and from that by
easy stages came the elevator.
Therefore, we may -ay, the tree

And asked the bright scholar
