The knowledge That Paws.

If you glance round at the work Of
some of our big men you will be sur,
prised to see how many have made
their reputation by doing one small
thing, but doing it well. If a man
gets 10 the front in one narrow sub,
iect the world credits him with
knowledge of all the rest. 1t is, how
ever, even easier to acquire a large
general knowledge than an advanced
special knowledge of one marrow sub
iect. The speciality must not be too
narrow either. 1t is often said that
the pursuit of knowledge has no.
bility of its own. But what knowi
edge? No knowledge is worth obtain
ing for its own or any other sake, un
less it is or will probably be usefu
to man.-James Swinburne in Elec
trical Review,
Vernon County censor. [volume] (Viroqua, Wis.) 1865-1955, 1905-02-22
