when the Balkan States meant only a

who ever heard Of it: Japan and
India were remote places only visited
by Adventures and poets, and even
France seemed quite distance away.
But now the Atlantic Ocean seems to
have shrunk and a visit 10 foreign
countries is no longer nothing but a
dream The places where our soldier
boys have been have become real to
us, and many are the people school

False Ambitions Fosteredin Youth
May Prove Detrimental to Genius;
Natural Inclinations Should Guide

and learn trade. or study for some
profession not based upon mathe-
matics? Is 1t not better to urge boy
whose attitude toward study Is such
that he will never be able to conquer
the subjects required for university
entrance to give up the university idea
and study along some line in which
he could be successful? Is ii not bet
ter to help boy who hates study and
won't study to get job where he can
work with. satisfaction and make a
man of himself, than to drive him
to school and force him to study
what he will never use because he will
never remember it?
The intellectual child without special
talent is generally allowed to drift. He
may find himself" in time, but the
chances are that hc needs guidance
more than one with special talent
Thousands are now in high schools
and in universities who should never
have been sent there.
For sixteen years / was university
professor. and / know something about
universities. ] wish every boy, rich
or poor, with the mental caliber really
to profit by course in a university,
might attend one. ] wish every State
supported a free university, as do
many States, but l know that the
value of university education, as
such. Is greatly overrated and that
many do not profit by such an educa-
tion, and that very many would be
better off IL they got earlier into the
ranks
The New York herald., 1922-04-23

the term. / was recently watching a
man lay a cement sidewalk. Without
complicated measurements he made
edges true. BY his eye alone he made
beautiful curves which flowed into
others as gracefully as the lines of a
flower. He was using the best ma
terials and using them properly and
generously. To my mind he was a
great man--as great a man as another
inside the building who was modelling
statue. They were doing and giving
their best. Not one in thousand will
notice the sidewalk, while thousands
will admire the statue, but these men
were equally great In tie true sense.
Those who look will not see with un-
derstanding.
The fact that the result Of work is
not known and does not attract public
attention has nothing to do with its
quality or with the greatness of the
man who executed 1t. Are we not all
prone to think of as great those who
do conspicuous things? Are we not
educating children to do few con-
spicuous things rather than to do
many ordinary things well, forgetting
that most of the worlds work is ordi-
nary work? Do the teachers of the
children differ greatly from their over
ambitious parents?
All geniuses are great. but all who
are great are not necessarily geniuses.
A genius is born and not made. Cen
fuses in engineering, in science and In
art are helped. but not made. by their
teachers.
In case of doubt, cast no damper
on ambition. There are, however,
many cases where the teachers ex-
perience should enable him to do
real and lasting favor to many boy.
Is il net better to advise a boy who
has no mathematical ability to give
up the idea of becoming an engineer
