Constancy...

One of the ironies of life is that we change markedly in many outward ways, but our inward ways are thought to have remarkable constancy --- or at least that is what physchologists would have us believe.

Let's consider two pieces of positive evidence and perhaps one counter argument.

First Exhibit:

• A's both in "Arithmetic" and "Mental and Tables"

• Sister Stanislaus's Comment: "John's work is satisfactory, but he could be more careful."

Second Exhibit:

• Does it look to you like John has taken Sister Stanislaus's advice to heart?

• Or, is this just and instance of examining foundations?

*** Now the little rabbit suggests that I pick up the pace, it's just 1940 for Pete's sake.
