opinion and a faith in their own
conclusions which is not warranted by
either their intelligence or their knowl-

accuracy is o mental equipment very few
people possess The few who do possess it
are absolutely obnoxious therefore. to most
of us unless these few will keep shut up. To
be interfered with when one is displaying
the profundity of ones ignorance or idiocy,
and, above all, to be set right" or in
structed is more apt to spoil ones temper
than to improve ones mind. Don't do ID,
you simple-headed teacher fellows An ar
gument may be mutually beneficial when
held between two people who each know
about as much as the other,
but who hold different opinions. II you
happen to be one of the people you can refer
to knowledge already in the possession of the
other fellow, but when you plunge into an
argument with a person more ignorant than
yourself you must first teach before you can
convince him. This viii render you odious
before you convince him, and he may punch
your head before the. convincing stage Is
reached. At any rate he is sure to want to.
