division in the higher grades.
=12. REVIEW QUESTIONS.=

(3) How does logical division differ from enumeration? Illustrate.
(4) Distinguish between logical division, and physical division or
partition.
(5) Illustrate a quantitative partition; a qualitative partition.
(6) Illustrate how a logical division may be summarized in the form
of a series of judgments.
