ABILITY
“Be sure you call at Mrs. Milner’s, Fred, for the address of her
laundress.”
“All right, mother!” And Fred was half-way down the path before
his mother had time to add a second injunction. A second? Nay, a
seventh, for this was already the sixth time of asking; and Mrs.
Bruce’s half-troubled expression showed she placed little faith in her
son’s “All right.”
“I don’t know what to do with Fred, doctor; I am not in the least
sure he will do my message. Indeed, to speak honestly, I am sure he
will not. This is a trifling matter; but when the same thing happens
twenty times a day—when his rule is to forget everything he is
desired to remember—it makes us anxious about the boy’s future.”
Dr. Maclehose drummed meditatively on the table, and put his lips
into form for a whistle. This remark of Mrs. Bruce’s was “nuts” to him.
He had assisted, professionally, at the appearance of the nine young
Bruces, and the family had no more esteemed friend and general
confidant. For his part, he liked the Bruces. Who could help it? The
parents intelligent and genial, the young folk well looking, well grown,
and open-hearted, they were just the family to make friends. All the
same, the doctor found in the Bruces occasion to mount his pet
hobby:—“My Utopia is the land where the family doctor has leave to
play schoolmaster to the parents. To think of a fine brood like the
young Bruces running to waste in half-a-dozen different ways
through the invincible ignorance of father and mother! Nice people,
too!”
For seventeen years Dr. Maclehose had been deep in the family
counsels, yet never till now had he seen the way to put in his oar
anent any question of bringing up the children. Wherefore he
drummed on the table, and pondered:—“Fair and softly, my good
fellow; fair and softly! Make a mess of it now, and it’s my last chance;
hit the nail on the head, and, who knows?”
“Does the same sort of thing go on about his school work?”
“Precisely; he is always in arrears. He has forgotten to take a
book, or to write an exercise, or learn a lesson; in fact, his school life
is a record of forgets and penalties.”
“Worse than that Dean of Canterbury, whose wife would make
him keep account of his expenditure; and thus stood the entries for
one week:—‘Gloves, 5s.; Forgets, £4, 15s.’ His writing was none too
legible, so his wife, looking over his shoulder, cried, ‘Faggots!
Faggots! What in the world! Have you been buying wood?’ ‘No, my
dear; those are forgets;’—his wife gave it up.”
“A capital story; but what is amusing in a Dean won’t help a boy to
get through the world, and we are both uneasy about Fred.”
“He is one of the ‘Boys’ Eleven,’ isn’t he?”
“Oh, yes, and is wild about it: and there, I grant you, he never
forgets. It’s, ‘Mother, get cook to give us an early dinner: we must be
on the field by two!’ ‘Don’t forget to have my flannels clean for Friday,
will you mumsy?’ he knows when to coax. ‘Subscription is due on
Thursday, mother!’ and this, every day till he gets the money.”
“I congratulate you, my dear friend, there’s nothing seriously
amiss with the boy’s brain.”
“Good heavens, doctor! Whoever thought there was? You take my
breath away!”
“Well, well, I didn’t mean to frighten you, but, don’t you see, it
comes to this: either it’s a case of chronic disease, open only to
medical treatment, if to any; or it is just a case of defective
education, a piece of mischief bred of allowance which his parents
cannot too soon set themselves to cure.”
Mrs. Bruce was the least in the world nettled at this serious view
of the case. It was one thing for her to write down hard things of her
eldest boy, the pride of her heart, but a different matter for another to
take her au sérieux.
“But, my dear doctor, are you not taking a common fault of youth
too seriously? It’s tiresome that he should forget so, but give him a
year or two, and he will grow out of it, you’ll see. Time will steady
him. It’s just the volatility of youth, and for my part I don’t like to see a
boy with a man’s head on his shoulders.” The doctor resumed his
drumming on the table. He had put his foot in it already, and
confounded his own foolhardiness.
“Well, I daresay you are right in allowing something on the score
of youthful volatility; but we old doctors, whose business it is to study
the close connection between mind and matter, see our way to only
one conclusion, that any failing of mind or body, left to itself, can do
no other than strengthen.”
“Have another cup of tea, doctor? I am not sure that I understand.
I know nothing about science. You mean that Fred will become more
forgetful and less dependable the older he gets?”
“I don’t know that I should have ventured to put it so baldly, but
that’s about the fact. But, of course, circumstances may give him a
bent in the other direction, and Fred may develop into such a careful
old sobersides that his mother will be ashamed of him.”
“Don’t laugh at me, doctor; you make the whole thing too serious
for a laughing matter.” To which there was no answer, and there was
silence in the room for the space of fully three minutes, while the two
pondered.
“You say,” in an imperious tone, “that ‘a fault left to itself must
strengthen.’ What are we to do? His father and I wish, at any rate, to
do our duty.” Her ruffled maternal plumage notwithstanding, Mrs.
Bruce was in earnest, all her wits on the alert. “Come, I’ve scored
one!” thought the doctor; and then, with respectful gravity, which
should soothe any woman’s amour propre,
“You ask a question not quite easy to answer. But allow me, first,
to try and make the principle plain to you: that done, the question of
what to do settles itself. Fred never forgets his cricket or other
pleasure engagements? No? And why not? Because his interest is
excited; therefore his whole attention is fixed on the fact to be
remembered. Now, as a matter of fact, what you have regarded with
full attention, it is next to impossible to forget. First get Fred to fix his
attention on the matter in hand, and you may be sure he won’t forget
it.”
“That may be very true; but how can I make a message to Mrs.
Milner as interesting to him as the affairs of his club?”
“Ah! There you have me. Had you begun with Fred at a year old
the thing would have settled itself. The habit would have been
formed.”
To the rescue, Mrs. Bruce’s woman’s wit:—“I see; he must have
the habit of paying attention, so that he will naturally take heed to
what he is told, whether he cares about the matter or not.”
“My dear madam, you’ve hit it; all except the word ‘naturally.’ At
present Fred is in a delightful state of nature in this and a few other
respects. But the educational use of habit is to correct nature. If
parents would only see this fact, the world would become a huge
reformatory, and the next generation, or, at any rate, the third, would
dwell in the kingdom of heaven as a regular thing, and not by fits and
starts, and here and there, which is the best that happens to us.”
“I’m not sure I see what you mean; but,” said this persistent
woman, “to return to this habit of attention which is to reform my Fred
—do try and tell me what to do. You gentlemen are so fond of going
off into general principles, while we poor women can grasp no more
than a practical hint or two to go on with. My boy would be cut up to
know how little his fast friend, the doctor, thinks of him!”
“‘Poor women,’ truly! and already you have thrown me with two
staggering buffets. My theories have no practical outcome, and, I
think little of Fred, who has been my choice chum ever since he left
off draperies! It remains for the vanquished to ‘behave pretty.’ Pray,
ma’am, what would you like me to say next?”
“To ‘habit,’ doctor, to ‘habit’; and don’t talk nonsense while the
precious time is going. We’ll suppose that Fred is just twelve months
old to-day. Now, if you please, tell me how I’m to make him begin to
pay attention. And, by the way, why in the world didn’t you talk to me
about it when the child really was young?”
“I don’t remember that you asked me; and who would be pert
enough to think of schooling a young mother? Not I, at any rate.
Don’t I know that every mother of a first child is infallible, and knows
more about children than all the old doctors in creation? But,
supposing you had asked me, I should have said—Get him each day
to occupy himself a little longer with one plaything than he did the
day before. He plucks a daisy, gurgles over it with glee, and then in
an instant it drops from the nerveless grasp. Then you take it up, and
with the sweet coaxings you mothers know how to employ, get him
to examine it, in his infant fashion, for a minute, two minutes, three
whole minutes at a time.”
“I see; fix his thoughts on one thing at a time, and for as long as
you can, whether on what he sees or what he hears. You think if you
go on with that sort of thing with a child from his infancy he gets
accustomed to pay attention?”
“Not a doubt of it; and you may rely on it that what is called ability
—a different thing from genius, mind you, or even talent—ability is
simply the power of fixing the attention steadily on the matter in
hand, and success in life turns upon this cultivated power far more
than on any natural faculty. Lay a case before a successful barrister,
an able man of business, notice how he absorbs all you say; tell your
tale as ill as you like, he keeps the thread, straightens the tangle,
and by the time you have finished, has the whole matter spread out
in order under his mind’s eye. Now comes in talent, or genius, or
what you will, to deal with the facts he has taken in. But attention is
the attribute of the trained intellect, without which genius makes
shots in the dark.”
“But, don’t you think attention itself is a natural faculty, or talent, or
whatever we should call it?”
“Not a bit of it; it is entirely the result of training. A man may be
born with some faculty or talent for figures, or drawing, or music, but
attention is not a faculty at all; it is simply the power of bending such
faculties as one has to the work in hand; it is a key to success within
the reach of every one, but the power to turn it comes of training.
Circumstances may compel a man to train himself, but he does so at
the cost of great effort, and the chances are ten to one against his
making the effort. For the child, on the other hand, who has been
trained by his parents to fix his thoughts, all is plain sailing. He will
succeed, not a doubt of it.”
“But I thought school-work, Latin and mathematics, and those
sorts of things, should give this kind of intellectual training?”
“They should; but it’s the merest chance whether the right spring
is touched, and from what you say of Fred’s school-work, I should
say it was not touched in his case. ’Tis incredible how much solid
learning a boy will contrive to let slip by him instead of into him! No;
I’m afraid you must tackle the difficulty yourself. It would be a
thousand pities to let a fine fellow like Fred run to waste.”
“What can I do?”
“Well, we must begin where we are; Fred can attend, and
therefore remember: and he remembers what interests him. Now, to
return to your question, How are you to make a message to Mrs.
Milner as interesting to him as the affairs of his cricket club? There is
no interest in the thing itself; you must put interest into it from
without. There are a hundred ways of doing this: try one, and when
that is used up, turn to another. Only, with a boy of Fred’s age, you
cannot form the habit of attention as you could with a child. You can
only aid and abet; give the impulse; the training he must do for
himself.”
“Make it a little plainer, doctor; I have not yet reduced your
remarks to the practical level of something I can do.”
“No? Well, Fred must train himself, and you must feed him with
motives. Run over with him what we have been saying about
attention. Let him know how the land lies; that you cannot help him,
but that if he wants to make a man of himself he must make himself
attend and remember. Tell him it will be a stand-up fight, for this habit
is contrary to nature. He will like that; ’tis boy nature to show fight,
and the bigger and blacker you make the other side, the more will he
like to pitch in. When I was a boy I had to fight this very battle for
myself, and I’ll tell you what I did. I stuck up a card every week,
divided down the middle. One side was for ‘Remembers’; the other
side for ‘Forgets.’ I took myself to task every night—the very effort
was a help—and put a stroke for every ‘Remember’ and ‘Forget’ of
the day. I scored for every ‘Remember,’ and ‘t’other fellow’ for every
‘Forget.’ You don’t know how exciting it got. If by Thursday I had
thirty-three ‘Remembers’ and he thirty-six ‘Forgets’ it behoved me to
look alive; it was not only that ‘Forget’ might win the game, which
was up on Saturday night, but unless ‘Remember’ scored ten in
advance, the game was ‘drawn’—hardly a remove from lost.”
“That’s delicious! But, I wish, doctor, you would speak to Fred
yourself. A word from you would go a long way.”
“I’ll look out for a chance, but an outsider cannot do much;
everything rests with the boy himself, and his parents.”
