~ ULTuRE often makes towards of the best of
, men. 1t tends to bind their thoughts to the tri-
umpbs of the past rather than to the possible achieve
ments of the future. 1t makes them slaves to estab-
fish codes. It throws a cloud of suspicion over inno-
yation. It makes them afraid of a new idea.
They were the scholars of Athens who fed Socrates
poison. They were the scholars of Italy who lit the
fogots at the feet of Savonarola. The wise men of
Spain ieered at Columbus. Cultured England laughed
ot Darwin. Sehooled scientists scoffed at Haryey's
theory of blood circulation, at Watts tea kettle engine,
at Whitney's machine that could sew. at Daguerre's
SIM pietare. at Wells anaesthetics, at Morse's tele-
rraph at Bells telephone and at Edison's talking
machine. \ quarter of a century ago a professor of
nhysics at the University of California proved abso-
iutely" that it was a physical impossibility for man
TO fly. But the Wright boys showed that this professor
was a slave to his culture.
Every great triumph in the worlds history has
fought its way over the boundaries OF Temporary fail
ure and gained it's goal in spite of the SCOTS of the
"cultured."
Society's pet is seldom a prophet. True talent is
disco,ared fardily. To possess all its accumulated
knowledge of the past does not make a man great.
We are measured not by our accumulations but by our
contributions, The brains that are remembered are

the confidence to pursue undated a great plan or pur-
pose and create knowledge.
Because a fellow is doing something different from
what has been done, don't be too quick to call him
crazy. Time may make you the bigger fool of the
two for having rejected his idea before understand
ing it.
It's the fellow who sails a new sea who discovers
n new shore. 1t is the fellow with originality whom
the world most needs.
If a mans faith in his new scheme can stand the
acid test of the unthinking sheer, he may live to
benefit the world. The fellow who is afraid to depart
from convention. and who is afraid to do something
different for fear he may be laughed at, is a craven
no matter how much he may know.
The men and women who acquire knowledge that
thev may be respectable, who look to the past that
thev may be comfortable in the present. without any
thought of duty to the future, who study merely for
the mental gymnastics of training their minds and
who are afraid to use the mind when trained, are
about as effective as an army which has learned to
march by marking time.
Learn not. only to fill your head but to use your
head. Don't be afraid to beat out q new path. Inc
beaten paths are oyercrowded.
The pioneers path is always hard but it is the
pioneer who finds new fields and new benefits and
whom in the end the world most honors.

WE are getting close to the Paint
w Up and Clean Up season, and
soon everyone will be thinking how
the house looks. Wonderful how
bright and cheerful a coat of paint
makes q place. how it increases sell
ing values. how it preserves the
wood. What's the matter with the
house we really live in and for
Which we pay no rent! Why not
a little paint ~ and clean up for
that? OF course the fappers will
attenb to the paint up. but a more
general survey won't harm any of
US. Cleaning out thoughts of evil
and feelings Of luminosity, and paint
ing the mind with good cheer and
human kindness. patching up the
faults W have and starting out in
a new mental dress for spring will
spell happiness and happiness al
ways means greater prosperity.

that this Legislature could do could

nothing. so far as l know, in the minds
Of anyone who is proposing or support
ing this bill, would impair in the
slightest degree the sacred rights of
the citizens of the State of Maine to
them in their own way. But that is a
far different thing than it is to ask the
people CT Maine to contribute by pub
lie tax, for the purposes of carrying
on their particular private institutions.
We have had some little attempt at
arousing fear in the hearings before
this House. We heard something about
sparks falling into finder boxes. and
CONGREGATIONS starting. Now there are
no CONGREGATIONS. there are no finder
boxes that I know anything about.
There are no sparks to fly that 1 know
anything about. We are all living in
the State Of Maine in peace and har-
mony. We shall continue to do so, they
are all living. in the other thirty states
that have adopted this matter. in peace
and harmony. There are no rivers Of
blood flowing in Pennsylvania or in any
Of the other states, that we heard
about the other day here. All of that
Is mere bugaboo, my friends, merely
attempts to arouse a latent fear, per-
haps pristine animal fear. which still
turks in all of us. Not the. slightest
ripple occurred in any Of those states
when those amendments were being
adopted. They were all voted upon by
the people. all ratified by the people,
without the slightest ripple. without
the slightest harm coming to anyone.
