technology. That is, the recovery of primitive organic values in 
art and architecture is the central technological pressure of our 
time. Yet there are some anthropologists even today who 
vaguely suppose that nonliterate men have Euclidean space 
perceptions. (17) And many more report their primitive data in 
terms of Euclidean models of organization. So it is scarcely 
surprising that a J. C. Carothers should be a rare figure. As a 
psychologist who crossed functional lines into the 
anthropological area, he was quite unprepared for what he 
found. What he found is still known to very few people, indeed. 
If the effects of the written word, in substituting visual for 
auditory dimensions of experience, were known to Mircea Eliade, 
for example, would he continue to express the same zeal for 
the “resacralizing” of human life?
