Abstract :
EDUCATIONAL ADVANTAGES and the fortunate graces bestowed by birth and breeding may serve to ornament individual resourcefulness, but they cannot take its place, nor can they, within themselves, justify discriminations in a common experience. Within every man is the latent power to increase his material possessions andto raise his standing among men. However, the attainment of these ideals is contingent, first, upon the desire; second, upon the constant application of energy; and third, upon the vigilance to take advantage of every available opportunity.
