It happened once that his teacher was correcting some exam-ination papers and came upon a blank sheet, and he knew at once that its owner was "the Red Fire" (the last in his class). He had always felt that this pupil was a stranger to the class, not only in his outward appearance but in his conduct. And the boy, too, felt it in his depths. The great failure that had accompanied him through his school life had led him to regard it as a real and natural thing, and he no longer cared what was said, or being said, of his poor understanding and behavior.

The hours of study according to the school program vexed him beyond what the mind can con-ceive. Ten hours of mathematics, as many of natural sciences, and as many again of German or English. The result was that he reached such a state of despair and despondency that he had to be seen by a doctor, and he was placed under treatment.

But this last-in-his-class, whom his father so often rebuked and whose comrades so often mocked that he could no longer find rest from anxiety — this failure who flunked his lessons, every one of them — we see him one day seated upon the chair of the professor of natural sciences.

"Buy him a microscope," said the teacher to Felix's father. The last of his class had begun to rise, and he started his new life where nature had prepared him to be.

He followed the logic of nature, and his success was dazzling where his failure had been great.

A quick glance back at history shows us the truth of life's logic in its fullest form. Those who lag behind in their classes are not always failures in life.

Churchill was described by his teachers as the disorderly pupil, possessed of but scant intelligence, and for that reason he was consigned to military life.

As for Eisenhower, he left his secondary studies and was at a loss in choosing his profession. He entered the military academy — his entering it may well have been chance — but he did not graduate at a rank from which one could have foretold his future.

Roosevelt failed most of the examinations at Harvard University, and only with great pains did he manage to obtain

his diploma in law. Edison, during the time he spent at school, was known for his mental absent-mindedness, and his diligence was middling.

Einstein was "the Red Fire" of his class, and most of his school reports carried the fol-lowing remark: "Weaker than all his classmates."

These considerations should suffice to persuade parents to give up blaming their children when they learn their standing at school, for the unseen often holds in store a brilliant future for the last in his class...

The lessons of history are worthy of wonder — and some-times of astonishment!!
