Pushing to the Front

CHAPTER IX
9/18

Nature never lets a man rest until he has found his place.

She haunts him and drives him until all his faculties give their consent and he falls into his proper niche.

A parent might just as well decide that the magnetic needle will point to Venus or Jupiter without trying it, as to decide what profession his son shall adopt.
What a ridiculous exhibition a great truck-horse would make on the race-track; yet this is no more incongruous than the popular idea that law, medicine, and theology are the only desirable professions.

How ridiculous, too, for fifty-two per cent.
