MEETING, OR HOW TO FAIL AN INTERVIEW
A book is judged by its cover
Communicate your smile
"They layed again!"

CHAPTER III. PROFESSIONAL ETHICS: COMMONPLACE
TRUTH
Axiom No. 1: L'amor che move il sole e l'altre stele
A knowledge nut is hard, but still
Space charts are fixed on map-boards
"Today's first year at school is like the first year of
college"
Run, nanny, run
Get well soon and you will play with your toys and
friends all day
The hand stretches toward the pen, the pen to paper
Open your gates as wide as high?
You see, we're dabbling at buns
The tales for all children and grown-ups
To right he walks, and sings a ditty
Keep calm!
When in Rome
And to those, who're always dirty, lasting shame
Be silent, hide away and let your thoughts and longings
rise and set?
Mischievous advices
Smile - you're on hidden camera
What is the use of saying "thou"?

From pillar to post
Its arrows are arrows of fire

CHAPTER II. ONE STEP. TWO STEPS. TICKLE YOU
THERE! (STAGES OF A LONG JOURNEY)
Ear to the ground
"Ugh" and "ah" - our first words
They quack like a duckling and squeak like a chicken
With a cluck-cluck here, and a cluck-cluck there
All the mice go clang
A white goose honks and a baby laughs
Who leads the talk on the walk?
Sing a Song of Sixpence
Who is it that lives in this nice little taU tower?
A for Apple, A for Ant
Another ban for little Dan
What a wonderful world
How many blissful revelations
You're a year older now
The mouth to speak, the head to think
Sing and dance in a ring
I have ten fingers and they all belong to me
A little bit more about the problem. Poor appetite: who
is to blame and what is to be done?
Open a book and you will find people and places of
every kind

CHAPTER III. BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS. DEVELOPMENT
OF CHILDREN AFTER THEY TURN FIVE (A NEW FORM
OF THE TABLE)
