There are two kinds of knowledge, one is general, the other is specialized. General knowledge, no matter how great in quantity or variety it may be, is of but little use in the accumulation of money. The faculties of the great universitites possess, in the aggregate, practically every form of general knowledge known to civilization. Most of the professors have but little money. They specialize on teaching knowledge, but they do not specialize on the organization, or the use of knowledge.

Knowledge will not attract money, unless it is organized, and intelligently directed, through practical plans of action, to the definite end of accumulation of money. Lack of understanding of this fact has been the source of confusion to millions of people who falsely believe that "knowledge is power." It is nothing of the sort! Knowledge is only potential power. It becomes power only when, and if, it is organized into definite plans of action and directed to a definite end.

This "missing link" in all systems of education may be found in the FAILURE of educational institutions to teach their students how to organize and use knowledge after they aquire it. Many people make the mistake of assuming that, because Henry Ford had but little "schooling," he was not a man of "education." Those who make this mistake do not understand the real meaning to the word "educate." That word is derived from the Latin word "educo," meaning to enduce, to draw out, to develop from within.

An edcated man is not, necessarily, one who has an abundance of general or specialized knowledge. An educated man is one who has so developed the faculties of his mind that he may acquire anything he wants, or its equivalent, without violating the rights of others.

THOSE WHO ARE NOT SUCCESSFUL USUALLY MAKE THE MISTAKE OF BELIEVING THAT THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRING PERIOD ENDS WHEN ONE FINISHES SCHOOL. THE TRUTH IS THAT SCHOOLING DOES BUT LITTLE MORE THAN TO PUT ONE IN THE WAY OF LEARNING HOW TO ACQUIRE PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE.
