Schmidt at least a year. Their ac-

a friendship developed.
Schmidt frequently came to the
dentists office to change from cleri-

dered, knew anything about his coun-
terfeiting operations.
In reply to written question sent

ACCURACY AND SUCCESS.

In answer TO an inquiry from his
broker whether or not to buy some
stocks, a man wired. "No. Price toe
high" but left out the period. The
message read. no price too high.
The neglect wrecked his career
One Of the chief difficulties to be
overcome by most people is the ten
dency to count little things as trivial.
When a thing is almost right it u.s.
ually is accompanied with the remark.
THAT is near enough" The student
who gets his paper back with only one
mistake is usually contented. He
reasons that it is impossible to get
everything correct.
Under the screen of impossible man
hides his careless mistakes. He finds
it easier to say impossible than to
make the effort to be accurate. Or
he argues that the detail is not worth
the added effort. The VI student con-
soles himself by saying that an S or
aA E is not worth the added trouble
of mastering the details of the course.
All he wants is a general knowledge
This is but an indication of failure to
realize the value of accuracy.
There is no more essential qualifi-
cation for success than accuracy. The
person who is trained TO specify pre-
cisely, adequately and accurately what
he means when expressing an idea is
not misunderstood. The difference in
medocrity and superiority is the abil-
ity to judge accurately.
