"You
see," he explained, "I consider that a man's brain originally is like a
little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you
choose. A fool takes in all the lumber of every sort that he comes
across, so that the knowledge which might be useful to him gets crowded
out, or at best is jumbled up with a lot of other things so that he has
a difficulty in laying his hands upon it. 322 chars

Now
the skilful workman is very careful indeed as to what he takes into his
brain-attic. He will have nothing but the tools which may help him in
doing his work, but of these he has a large assortment, and all in the
most perfect order. It is a mistake to think that that little room has
elastic walls and can distend to any extent. 268 chars

Depend
upon it there comes a time when for every addition of knowledge you
forget something that you knew before. It is of the highest importance,
therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing out the useful ones." 178 chars

Young speedily proved himself to be a skilful administrator as well as
a resolute chief.Maps were drawn and
charts prepared, in which the future city was sketched out.All around farms were apportioned and
allotted in proportion to the standing of each individual.The tradesman was put to his trade and the
artisan to his calling.In the town
streets and squares sprang up as if by magic. In the country there was draining
and hedging, planting and clearing, until the next summer saw the whole country
golden with the wheat crop.

Everything prospered in the strange
settlement.Above all, the great temple
which they had erected in the centre of the city grew ever taller and
larger.From the first blush of dawn
until the closing of the twilight, the clatter of the hammer and the rasp of
the saw were never absent from the monument which the immigrants erected to Him
who had led them safe through many dangers.
