/ 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.                                  |
|                                                   |
