This relationship may be compared with that in which the separate sounds or letters of a word stand to one another in the physical world. If we take the word “man,” the impression made is due to a consonance of the letters, m-a-n. There is no impact nor other outer influence passing from the “m” to the “a,” but both letters sound together within “a whole,” owing to their very nature.
"I think it is a joke," said Harry, thoughtfully; "and when Uncle John asks me, I am going to say, 'Why, m-a-n, of course." "It is a conundrum, I know," said Joe; and he leaned his head on his hand and settled down to think. Time went slowly to the puzzled boys, for all their fun that day.
"What is that?" he said. "A man," answered the little girl. "And that?" "A dog." "Now read after me," he went on, indicating a word, "'M-a-n, man." She paused a moment, her lips pressed tightly together. "Read, read, read!" commanded the teacher, whacking the chart with a pointer. "'M-a-n, man," repeated the little girl, her eyes on his face. "Don't look at me," he scolded; "look at the chart."
But one awful day, while the class stopped suddenly at Miss Clara's warning finger as visitors opened the door, Emmy Lou, her eyes squeezed tight shut, her little body rocking to and fro to the rhythm, went right on, "m-a-n, man," "p-a-n, pan" until at the sound of her own sing-song little voice rising with appalling fervor upon the silence, she stopped to find that the page in the meantime had been turned, and that the pointer was directed to a column beginning "o-y, oy."
He was a M-A-N, they were A-P-E-S, and the little apes which scurried through the forest top were M-O-N-K-E-Y-S. He knew, too, that old Sabor was a L-I-O-N-E-S-S, and Histah a S-N-A-K-E, and Tantor an E-L-E-P-H-A-N-T. And so he learned to read. From then on his progress was rapid.
You must not expect, however, that Tidy learned very rapidly or very perfectly under such discouragements. Think how it would be with yourself, if you only knew your letters. You might read quite easily m-a-n, but how do you think you could find out that those letters spelled man? Tidy advanced much more expeditiously after she had obtained possession of her hymn-book.
