You read that he is a moron. ‘A moron is alperson whose intel-| lectaa) development proceeds normal- ly up to about the eighth year of age, and; then stops and never exceeds that‘of a'child of about 12 years. Check back over the past and you that you have met many mor- rown-ups with a child’s men- who have been going along acidly ‘through life without com- mitting crimes. William J, Robinson, celebrated iconoclast-doctor, writes in his Me- dical Critic and Guide: “A man may be a great painter, sculptor, actor or even a great poet, and in all other domains of human thought be a moron, have the men- tality of’ a 12-year-old ghild.” This rather striking thought pro- bably has occurred to you as you have sat in the shadows of night, analyzed your fellow-men and tried to figure out what it is all about. There is an old saying that every man is a fool outside his own busi- ness. ' You meet a great success. He is a genius, a super-intellect, in his line. Talk to him about important outside matters which are not connected with his vocation, and you find that he is. an igndramus. In other words, he is, a genius on one thing, a moron on/ others. This is natural, for we live, in an age of specialization. A man has time to mastersonly one thing. To become successful, a man usually has to become a monomaniac on one subject. ¢ EF, You sce the reverse of this in, the; caggzofthe man who'is a jack-of-all-| trades and master of none.

I think you will find Mr. Andrew in the gar- en.” Scottie and Andrew were stand- ing deep in consultation over by summer-house and he, had the visitor descending the steps of the side veranda.
