TO JOHN ROLLER COLLINS A THINKER OF THOUGHTS NEW AND NOVEL
Every boy is a born inventor.
And since you are a boy it follows as the night the day that you have your share of inventive ability and you ought to make good use of it.
To find out some new way of making or doing a thing—for this is what inventing means—is the most fascinating game that I know of to take up a fellow’s time and thought and energy.
