Mr. F.: Certainly.
Soc.: If, therefore, you discovered one boy asking another to explain to him a difficult passage, you would punish him severely?
Mr. F.: No. You have misunderstood me. I should not.
Soc.: But how is that? Have you not just told me that each boy must produce in form the results of solitary, unaided labour?
Mr. F.: Certainly, but we allow boys to prepare their 'con' together.
Soc.: I understand. On the assumption that two brains are better than one, you permit two boys to unravel the sense together.
Mr. F.: Certainly.
Soc.: Now, if two people attempt a certain task, what procedure would they follow? Would they not divide the task into two portions. If two men are building a house one man stands at the top of a ladder and lays the bricks that his companion, who is standing below, throws up to him.
Mr. F.: Certainly.
