RELATIONS OF MINING ENGINEERING 643 



The circumstance of opportunity may come about differently 

 in these plans of education. A fine engineer may be hidden away 

 in some obscure position who would, if circumstances had favored 

 him, have become renowned all over the world by the greatness 

 of his capacity. The third plan may have some advantage in this 

 respect, in finding out the great man, and bringing him to the front. 

 This is more an incident than a virtue of the third plan due to the 

 men who follow it.
