An Introduction to the Professional
Study Of Vitosophy

The profession of vitosophy offers at
once the largest field of usefulness and
the greatest financial inducements to
every intelligent man and woman who is
willing to do as much work as Is required
Of the successful lawyer. physician, dem
tist or teacher and who will bring to the
work the same exalted conception of pro-
| fessional dignity and conduct that is re-
uuired to attain to eminence in either OF
these professions. In large degree the
duties of the vitosophist include those OF
the professions just named. The vitoso-
| phist is -eninently lawyer, for he
| deals constantly with the laws of nature,
the only true laws, and he sits In judg-
ment constantly upon the most important
conditions that arise in human lives. In
the seven years that the author practiced
at the bar Of the civil courts he did not
have as many important cases presented
to his consideration as he frequently now
has to decide in one month. The profess
sion Of vttosophy is destined to entirely
supercede the practice of medicine, and as
healing art 1t has no competitor. The
vitosophist must therefore be prepared to
discharge the duties which he requests the
physician to surrender Above all the
vitosophist is teacher, par excellence.
and 1t is his dutysto instruct the world,
not only in the details of correct living.
for which our philosophy claims so muca,
but also IN the minutest details of educa-
| ton In the essentials Of industry, the
graces and accomplishments.
Instead Of being discouraged by this dis
posing array of responsibilities, the vitoso-
phist should cheerfully assume them, con-
fident of the power of the great message
| of truth he bears to clear away every
difficulty. There is such power In new
truth 80 many errors fall before 1t and

selves wherever and whenever 1t Is pre-
sented that he who Is armed with the
| truth in a novel form need never fear the
| power of any adversary as long as he pre-
| serves his courage and relies upon the
| truth. But 1t is necessary to master the
truth in order to succeed. Unless the
| student does this In the beginning he will
find himself at some time beset with Il
problem for which he has no solution, and
| he will be forced to surrender. admit his
ignorance or resort to subterfuge. The
latter course Is generally the most dis"
astrous in the end.
The qualifications required by a pro-
fessional vitosophist are as varied as the
conditions under which he works. If the
profession were crowded the qualifications
| might be narrowed, but as 1t is almost

is too vast and the need Of the propa-
ganda too urgent to permit any such
