Boosting consists in the FIRST place. in my

at peace more or less with his surrounding.
must be in harmon, with life and the idea Of
living. One never heard Of a crouch or miser

country he is trying to help. the more he studies
The conditions, the more he will become en-.
thused until he really know. and thinks out loud,
~ it were, on all occasions. One must impart
this knowledge to others and keep at it as
knowing and not telling about things will not
help you. II FIVE men in any one community

place they lived in was the best place to live.
