It is only by
the possession of a trained and developed mind that the fullest capacity can,
as a rule, be obtained. There are, of course, exceptional individuals with rare
natural gifts which make up for deficiencies. But such gifts are indeed rare.
We are coming more and more to recognise that the best specialist can be
produced only after a long training in general learning. The grasp of principle
which makes detail easy can only come when innate capacity has been evoked and
moulded by high training. |
