Training Animals.

The psychology of animals is curl
ously like that of young children. In
terest must be won; it cannot be
forced. No appeal, save direct one
to instinct, is admissible. Penalties
are quite meaningless except as OBJ
stacles in a particular path, and as
such they must never arouse active
fear. 1t will be seen therefore that
the opportunities for cruelty are ne
cessarily limited. Trainers may abuse
their charges, but each tina they
do so they court disaster
