;m10"You see ... I consider that a man's brain originally is like
;m10a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture
;m10as you choose. A fool takes in all the lumber of every sort that
;m10he comes across, so that the knowledge which might be useful to him
;m10gets crowded out, or at best is jumbled up with a lot of other
;m10things, so that he has a dif`culty in laying his hands upon it.
;m10Now the skillful workman is very careful indeed as to what he takes
;m10into his brain-attic. He will have nothing but the tools which may
;m10help him in doing his work, but of these he has a large assortment,
;m10and all in the most perfect order. It is a mistake to think that
;m10that little room has elastic walls and can distend to any extent.
;m10Depend upon it there comes a time when for every addition of
;m10knowledge you forget something that you knew before. It is of the
;m10highest importance, therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing
;m10out the useful ones.\
