Written in 1917 as a practical guide, this short volume argues that schooling offers a chance to grow rather than a promise of success, happiness or wealth. Whether it pays off depends on the development it produces in a learner and on how that learner applies it. The author treats the student not as a vessel to be filled but as a working mechanism that teaching should help operate well. The book sets out the mindset a serious student needs: honest effort, sound character, consideration for others and modest but lofty aims.
