ya-us Of the Disciplined Mind.

The world needs men ard women who
are sufficient unto themselves, able to
stand alone and make the most Of trying
and unpleasant conditions. The disci-
pine Of thu life should be to make our
knowledge and resources available for
practical use What matter it that we
road every book IN the world. and gain
all the knowledge that science and art
can teach Us if we cannot put this in
formation to use either to the profit OF
0ur minds or physical conditions! This
greatest use of knowledge and culture IS
not fer money-making, for achieving ma
tcrial success in the struggle for life, but
to swectpn and discipline ourselves. The
philosopher who has gained the true key
to Knowledge stands aloOf from the
thronging crowds of eager mOney-makers
and reputation-see He is content TO
know that the visible attainments of life
are not the highest and dearest. Others
may strive for them. but he longs For the
