TIIUItOUCIIINKSS
Hxtrnrt From K?v. Klilrldgo'fl
Mlil-Wcek Lecture.
It was not only yostorday that tho
world hognn to rccognlzo tho valuo
of montal thoroughness. Long ago
tho saying, "I fonr tho man of ono
book" had taken Us placo among tho
familiar axioms. Tho obvious mean
ing of the man who coined tho phrnsa
seoms to bo that ho feared to on
countor tho specialist becauno of his
greater proficiency, exportness, In
his own particular lino of thought.
With tho ancionts It was not qunntlty
but quality that counted, not num
bers but thoroughness. Of courso
tho wldor our range of Information,
tho bettor equipped wo nro for Ufo'a
struggle; but as we havo only a lim
ited supply of brain forco, wo can
not hope to master all, and tho noxt
best thing Is to got a thorough grasp
of some ono department of knowl
edge at least. In this connection wo
may aptly apply tho words of Emer
sen: "Tho ono prudence of Iiro la
concentration."
It is precisely this lack of mental
thoroughness that rises to so many
unnecessary and utterly usolcss con
troversies which servo only to em
bitter tho opposing parties and lcavo
the hearers as badly muddled at tho
finish as they wcro at tho start. Car
dinal Newman writes: " "How annny
disputes we havo listened to that
were Interminable simply because tho
disputants understood neither them
selves nor each other!"
It is not at all rnro to find men
contending florcoly ovor subjects
upon which they nro at bottom
agreed. Their difference Is In reality
but a matter of words. Such a thing
is not likely to occur in discussion
between men of thorough mental
training. They nro too logical, ana
accurate for that sort of thing. It
was this consideration that led
Socrates of old to say that It ho could
find a man ablo to dofino nnd dlvldo
accurately he would gladly follow him
t o tho ends of tho earth.
It follows from this that education
Is not a system of cramming. It is
not the purposo of education to
cover tno wnoio neiu or numnn
thought and endeavor, but to instill
sound principles of thought and ac
tion and to supply methods. Tho
ack-of-all-trades and master of nono,
tho walking encyclopedia, may bo a
shining meteor for a brief space, but
pin him down to logic and accuracy
and ho flounders hopelessly. Tho
thorough man may not bo very bril
liant on tho surface, he may oven bo
somewhat slow, but ho is steady, sato
and sure to pan out hotter In tho
long ruu. Ho Is tho typo men feol
they can trust.
Whllo tho valuo of thoroughness
Is not a recent discovery, it is truo
that now, mora than ovor. It has be
como an Indispensable condition of
success, in this ago or specialization
thoro Is no room for tho dilettante.
Only tho man born holr to millions
can afford to skim tho surfaco. Thoso
who ulm at distinction, or ovon mod
erate success, must know how to do
some ono thing well; and to do that
they must direct all their rcsoarchos
to tho end they havo in vlow. Ic
must bo to thorn tho Alpha, and tho
Omega, tho center to which all lines
converge Desultory study and read
ing may bo good enough as a form
of recreation or amusement, but It
is not likely to provo of any groat
practical bonoflt. What Carlylo says
of life Is true: "Tho man without a
purposo Is liko a ship without a rud
der." Concentration Is power. Tho
way to got breadth la first to got
dopth. Knowlodgo Is power only
when It Is asslmllatod and put to
useful purposes. Mon who havo con
victions, not more opinions, nro tho
mon who rulo tho world.
