such as Avicenna, Pasteur, Edison, Marconi, Madame Curie, and others; they benefited humanity, and history has inscribed their names in the first rank of the great.

Let us also tell them of some of the poor who used to occupy their leisure hours with certain pursuits, and whose diligence and effort became the road to a discovery that raised them to the ranks of the rich and the great.

For example, Anthony Leeuwenhoek, an Irishman who earned his living cleaning the town hall, and who in his spare time tried his hand at polishing and shaping small lenses; thanks to these lenses the astonishing world — the world of the microbe — was revealed, and this counts among the greatest discoveries in the history of medicine.

Our children will never be able to be men of renaissance and invention unless we teach them how to devote a part of their energy to preparing for the future, and to use their leisure time in practical pursuits.

Fourth — Courage. Courage is of two kinds. The first is a natural impulse when the instincts are roused to meet a sudden danger; the second is that which stands firm and endures despite repeated failure and hardship — the resolve to rise from every fall. Every beginner is in the direst need of this courage, and our children will need a great deal of it when they face the world of tomorrow.

It is our duty to explain to them the inventions whose fruits they enjoy — the telephone, the radio, electricity, ships, trains, and so on: who first conceived them and how, the effort that was expended and the long years that were spent in the work, what they were like at first and the improvements that others com-pleted. Make them understand well that works do not come out perfect at the first attempt, and that failure is like a whetting of the powers that leads on to suc-cess. Tell them of the failures of these great men and how people mocked them, yet their courage,

their confidence, their resolve, and their steadfastness never left them until they arrived at success. If the child understands this and is convinced of it, he will be braver, firmer of will, and steadier when he collides with obstacles that cannot be avoided.

It is well for you to direct him from childhood by choosing for him games that call for patience, precision, and discrimination — such as geometric shapes for building a factory or a ship or a building or an airplane or a garment, and the like; for the pleasure the child finds when he completes the assembling or the making of one of these strengthens his steadfastness and patience, creates delight, and brings out his gifts.

And let us not forget that when courage departs, much of

personal dignity departs with it: no confidence remains to us in our opinions and judgments, and we lose the power to press out the essence of experience by ourselves.

Young people: "Do not let yourselves be corrupted by barren doubt, nor let the sorrows of those passing hours that come over nations dishearten you. Live in the serenity of the peace that books and laboratories prepare for you. Let each of you first ask himself: What have I done to educate myself? Then, as you go forward, ask it: What have I done for my country? — until the time comes when you feel the overwhelming flood of happiness: the happiness of thinking that you have contributed in some way to the progress and good of humanity."
