CHAPTER IV
7/11

New experiences are pushing us forward and previous experiences are helping to move the load.
Experience tells us what to do at this point and that--and at last puts its shoulder to the wheel and "_over she goes_!" Every mind is in possession of an enormous amount of dormant power and only experience can release it into proper action.

With experience he could find good use for it--but without it this surplus may turn out to be a dangerous possession.
