    The realization of this ideal can only be attained by wise legislation for the suppression of empiricism and by demanding a more complete education and better qualifications of those who are permitted to enter its ranks. To such who are thus capacitated, new and prom¬ ising fields of usefulness are ever presented; for it has been truly said that there is little matter what a man finds to be his proper task, so he rest not until he has won all it can teach him, so he relax not until he has made the most of it for the world; so he relent not before he has adorned it with his proper virtue and ennobled it by his proper genius.
