(10) The logic of success. =12. SUMMARY.= (1) To justify its having a place in any course of study, logic must lend itself to character building. (2) Man is king of the animal kingdom because of his power of thought. From the beginning his adaption has been more or less intellectual and his chief weapon of conquest has ever been his thinking brain. (3) Man’s supremacy has been due not only to his ability to think, but also to his power of _progressive_ thought. (4) Right thinking is the process of adjusting the best means to a right end. Wrong thinking involves improper adjustment, which in turn results in extinction. (5) A “logically-minded” man _rationalizes_ every new proposition before he adopts it. That is, he analyzes with the utmost care and with unprejudiced frankness all the favorable and unfavorable situations; he then throws them into the balance of honest judgment and adopts the indications of said balance, unequivocally. (6) Chance is a confession of ignorance. If man possessed infinite knowledge, the term chance would have no place in his vocabulary. The games of chance are money making schemes supported by the gambling fraternity. On the basis of averages, the gambler, in the long run, must terminate his career “behind the game.” High rate of interest implies great risk; low rate of interest little risk. (7) “Win right or wrong” epitomizes the teachings of modern sophistry. With the coming of better thinking, a more efficient democracy will obtain. (8) Rational progress combines the best of the old with what seems to be the best of the new. Blind love for the old, or ultra conservatism, is due to the two forces of race instinct and power of imitation. An adherence to the “old way anyway” may mean retrogression; whereas following the new way, simply because of its newness, may involve unnecessary waste.
