/ You see, I consider that a man's brain \
| originally is like a little empty |
| attic, and you have to stock it with |
| such furniture as you choose. A fool |
| takes in all the lumber of every sort |
| he comes across, so that the knowledge |
| which might be useful to him gets |
| crowded out, or at best is jumbled up |
| with a lot of other things, so that he |
| has difficulty in laying his hands upon |
| it. Now the skilful workman is very |
| careful indeed as to what he takes into |
| his brain-attic. He will have nothing |
| but the tools which may help him in |
| doing his work, but of these he has a |
| large assortment, and all in the most |
| perfect order. It is a mistake to think |
| that that little room has elastic walls |
| and can distend to any extent. Depend |
| upon it there comes a time when for |
| every addition of knowledge you forget |
| something that you knew before. It is |
| of the highest importance, therefore, |
| not to have useless facts elbowing out |
| the useful ones. |

\ Scarlet" /
