A Strange Greeting, a True Feeling Last week I was invited to a doctor’s meeting at the Ruth hospital for incurables. In one of the wards a patient, an old man, got up shakily from his bed and moved towards me. I could see that he hadn't long to
1 , but he came up to me and placed his right foot close mine on the floor. “Frank!” I cried in astonishment. He couldn’t

, as I knew, but all the time

raced back more than thirty years to the
5
days of 1941, when I was a student in London. The

was an air-raid shelter, in which I and about hundred other people slept every night. Two of the regulars were Mrs. West and her son Frank.

8
each other very well. Frank West

me because he wasn’t

, not even at birth. His mother told me he was 37 then, but he had
11 of a mind than a baby has. His “
12
” consisted of rough sounds——sounds of pleasure or anger and
13 more. Mrs. West, then about 75, was a strong, capable woman, as she had to be, of course, because Frank
14 on her entirely. He needed all the
15
of a baby. One night a policeman came and told Mrs. West that her house had been flattened by a 500-pounder. She
16 nearly everything she owned. When that sort of thing happened, the rest of us helped the
17 ones. So before we

that morning, I stood beside Frank and
19
my right foot against his. They were about the same size. That night, then, I took a pair of shoes to the shelter for frank. But as soon as he saw me he came running and placed his right foot against mine. After that, his

A newly trained teacher named Mary went to teach at a Navajo Indian reservation. Every day, she would ask five of the young Navajo students to __1__ the chalkboard and complete a simple math problem from
2
homework.
They would stand there, silently,
3
to complete the task. Mary couldn’t figure it out.
4
she had studied in her educational curriculum helped, and she
5
hadn’ t seen anything like it in her student-teaching days back in Phoenix.
What am I doing wrong? Could I have chosen five students who can’t do the
6
? Mary would wonder. No,
7
couldn’t be that. Finally she
8
the students what was wrong. And in their answers, she learned a
9
lesson from her young
10
pupils about self-image and a(n)
11
of self-worth.
It seemed that the students
12
each other’s individuality and knew that
13
of them were capable of doing the problems.
14
at their early age, they understood the senselessness of the win-lose approach in the classroom. They believed no one would

if any students were shown up or embarrassed at the
16
. So they

to compete with each other in public.
Once she understood, Mary changed the system
18
she could check each child’s math problem individually, but not at any child’s expense
19
his classmates. They all wanted to learn,
20
not at someone else’s expense.

During a recent holiday I visited Dusseldorf, a city in the former West Germany. The nine-day trip left a deep impression

me. I arrived at Dussedorf airport at 7 pm. It was already
