Counting came in long before men in

Counting began when the human
being in the making was able only to

symbolic that information in terms

chance he missed one or was uncer-

he made a recount. I once knew

Children especially will often keep
count of the number of steps they
take in going to school or to the cor

walk from one point to another in so
many steps. Some people spend their
