We have seen that the ies is to allow hiht and action, and that the highest efficiency is reached when these habits are habits of concentration of attention and are restricted to the sressive energy is so valuable that it needs no praise at this time We have had its value stated so often that it is actually over-rated in the average mind Not that it has been over-valued, but that the reiteration has obscured the ireater appreciation of the value of energies that are wholly e results by old y, when it is kept within certain bounds, is a prianization It is like a wholesome amount of labor to man; it thens its source But when it is not wisely kept in control it only annoys and interferes with real progress and real accoet work done is to let the worker ress efficiently is to radually froressivesuch lines is the nores the ”moment of inertia” is a disturber, whether he is a director or a ”hewer of wood and carrier of water”
