LEAVITT ANGELUS Editorial TACT AND TALENT Talent is something, but tact is every- thing. Talent is serious, sober, grave, and res- pectable, tact is all that, and more too. It is not a sixth sense, but it is the life of all the Hve. lt is the open eye, the quick ear, the judging taste, the keen smell, and the lively' touchg it is the interpreter of all riddles, the remover of all obstacles. lt is useful in all places and at all timesg it is useful in solitude, for it shows people their way into the worldg it is useful in society, for it shows them the way through the world. Talent is power, tact is skill: talent is weight, tact is momentum: talent knows what to do, tact knows how to do itg talent makes a person respectable, tact will make him respect-- edg talent is wealth, tact is ready money. For all practical purposes of life, tact car- ries it against talent, ten times to one. Tact has no weight to carry: it makes no false steps: it hits the right nail on the head: it loses no time, it takes all hintsg and by keeping its eye on the weathercock, is ready to take advantage of every wind that blows. Talent commands, tact is obeyed. Talent is fit for employment, but tact is fitted for it. Tact has a knack of slipping into place with a sweet silence. It seems to know everything without learning anything. It has served an in- visible and extemporary apprenticeship: it wants no drillingg it never ranks in the awk- ward squadg it has no left hand, no deaf ear, no blind side. It puts on no looks of wondrous wisdom, it has no air of skill, but plays with the details of place as dexterously as a well taught hand flourishes over the keys of the piano. It has the air of the commonplace, and all the force and power of genius. It is necessary' for one to possess both tact and talent in order to get ahead in the world. Editor-in-Chief.
