A brain specialist writes “If all people* would develop their brains and intelligence in the way that whist develops them we would need to fear no foe. The finesse, the clear foresight, the careful calculation, the dependence upon individuall judgement, the strategy taught by the game would create an array of minds that would carry victory into the midst of warfare. Our foes wquld be baflled and helpless before such trained intelligence. It is the greatest game in the world for brains. It is clean, gentlemanly sport. It builds the brain and teaches human nature. It teaches patience, coolness in action, decisiveness, aflertyess. It is incomparable ; it is grand. Every one ought to play, and every one will some day.”
