About this ebook
"This moral tale is prefaced with an address to the 'President as an answer to the current debate over whether it is better to be clever or diffident in education. The tale itself is told in verse and describes the education and lives of two brothers, one clever, and one slow. The clever brother excels in his studies, makes upper-class friends, and acquires expensive habits that lead to his ultimate ruin, while the slow brother does not do well at first but eventually acquires knowledge, graduates, and becomes a respected minister as a consequence of his effort and dedication. Some verses are appended that describe the folly of two men sawing timber during a storm"--Scottish Chapbooks Project
