HOW TO SUCCEED IN THE

A New York Tribune Philosopher Answers an
Enquirng Soul Who Would Avoid Failure

F. G. T. (Wolcott, n. W; Numerous
books and periodicals profess to teach
how to gain success and fortune. Are
not such claims made in bad faith? Or
is there really such an art that can be
acquired3

and periodicals you refer we cannot tell
whether their claims are made in good

self, that the art of gaining success
and fortune can be taught, it is not ex-
travagant at all, and in many cases is
certainly made in good faith. We live
in an age oe instruction. Everything
can be taught; everything can be learn
ed; everything is but a question of
education, schooling, training, With
diligence and perseverance one can
ultimately attain everything, and for
everything there are schools, teachers
and books. Genius is only prejudice
of yesterday. Every art is today a mat
ter of technics, skill, dexterity. Why,
then, should it not be possible to teach
and also to acquire the art of making
one s fOrtune2 Shall we wait until for
tune comes of its own accOrd2 We
shall have to wait long We have be-
come tired of waiting. Today we must
hunt for fortune in order to find it.
And as there are manuals that teach
how to use the divining rod, so there
are books and periodicals teaching how
