We must not imagine that the amount of brains a person has is the only thing that matters. for the manner in which one uses his supply is almost as important. A person inheriting a good mentality has nothing to be elated over, for it is not to his sole credit that he has the brains. His responsibility comes in using this gift to the fullest extent,-not being merely an average student when he can lead the class; not being content with an average achievement when there are the makings of excellence within him.
