iis:m S Bswpfe - y. . Have You Ever Made a First-Rate Success at Anything? THERE IS a test which every mdn, woman and child in the world must meet. It is the hardest and best oF all tests of intelligence and whatever else there is in a man. What can you do? Have you ever baked a cake that aroused enthusiasm and not dread? Have you ever cleaned a room so that madam could not with a white silk handkerchief find a smudge of dirt behind the radiator? Have you ever made anything which would stand up and hold together like the Deacon ' s indestructible one hoss shay? Have you ever driven through a page of problems in algebra so that at last dishev- eled and prostrate you can say: that algebra knows that it has been in a fight? Have you carried the ball over or only sat on the bench and told how it ought to be done? Can you sing so that anybody will stay (volun- tarily) where he will hear you again? Can you read directions and know what they mean and do what they say, not just about what they say but exactly so as to suit an expert who is in a bad temper? Write Down for yourself whatever it is that you have done with a success which satisfies yourself. If your one success was only winning at checkers against a champion, that is better than nothing at all. That tells you the first syllable of the rule for winning at greater games. That makes you consider whether there is a game for you that is greater than the one you have suc- ceeded in. Stop a minute and see what you amount to up to this date. Know thyself, says Socrates. WILLIAM LOWE BRYAN. [19]
