his fate; later in the day, quite at the other end
of the garden, she found a large toad, also ap-
parently without family and friends. With a
heart full of tender sympathy, she took a stick
and by exercising infinite patience and some skill,
she finally pushed the little toad through the
entire length of the garden into the company of
the big toad, when, to her inexpressible horror
and surprise, the big toad opened his mouth and
swallowed the little one. The moral of the tale
was clear applied to people who lived "where they
did not naturally belong," although I protested
that was exactly what we wanted -- to be swal-
lowed and digested, to disappear into the bulk of
the people.

Twenty years later I am willing to testify that
something of the sort does take place after years
of identification with an industrial community.
