Excerpt: . . . everyday events of life will give assurance that all must put in play the various keys upon the mental board, but all keys do not have to be exercised as do the higher notes which are to sound afar and thrill the hearts of listeners as no minor keys could do. These lower notes are merely opposites, breaks given for contrast to the major key to maintain the symphony of sounds. So should mans education be. The astronomer should spend his life dealing with the stars, the planets, sun and moon, and their effects on earth. The captain of a ship has much to do to make his work efficient, and he cannot leave his special post to entertain the passengers or to help the crew. There are some perhaps who could never excel in any particular channel for want of the right admixture of brain material, or for the proper adjustment of brain cells in the direction for the development of any special manifestation or outcoming genius, and the time would be misspent in the effort to elaborate what is but in embryo, but under a course of scientific human culture marked differences might be seen. If parents were as wise in generating the human race as the farmers prove to be in the production of the lower species the world could boast of greater intelligence among both men and women than has ever yet been manifest. If character and success were the aims of sires and mates there would be more scholarly men and more angelic women than either continent has yet produced, or at most in a very sparse degree. Athletes might be Solomons and musicians be Mozarts; philosophers would not exist as in the primary degree, but would be masters of all problems that require the statisticians long sought facts fixed in memory not to be erased. If it is poetry the ambitious youth. . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN., RareBooksClub<
