Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Mental Evolution It is customary in this age to mention the parents, birth and University schooling of a person seeking and holding high positions in the different walks of life. (What a fearful drawback custom and form are to development.) We suppose it is done with the belief that such mention in the papers about the birth, etc., will have a tendency to place said person in a higher estimation with the community at large tho it ought not to do so. It reads something like this: "Mr. Smith was born at Albany, New York, of highly respected parents. His father was a Professor in the University of Michigan, and a member of different societies. Mr. Smith graduated at Ann Arbor, and then entered the law business." We find many who have graduated from this or that school, yet their lives have and do amount to much less than some of those who have had but a common school education: besides, it should not be considered that the former have better brains and thinking faculties because they have graduated from some University. We regret in a way that all cannot have a College education, and yet such does not fit man for every occupation of greatness in life, tho we are in the habit of laying, or may lay such as the foundation of the future of man.
