made them your own, as you may do within a period
of from fifteen to thirty weeks, you will be ready to
develop sufficient personal power to insure the

The purpose of these Fifteen Laws is to develop or
help you organize all the knowledge you have, and all
you acquire in the future, so you may turn this
knowledge into POWER.
You should read the Law of Success course with a
note-book by your side, for you will observe that

  in whom you are most interested, as it is a well known
  fact that the more one tries to teach a subject the more
  he learns about that subject. A man who has a family
  of young boys and girls may so indelibly fix these
  Fifteen Laws of Success in their minds that this
  teaching will change the entire course of their lives.
  The man with a family should interest his wife in
  studying this course with him, for reasons which will

  POWER is one of the three basic objects of human
  endeavor.
  POWER is of two classes-that which is developed
  through co-ordination of natural physical laws, and
  that which is developed by organizing and classifying
  KNOWLEDGE.
  POWER growing out of organized knowledge is the
  more important because it places in man's possession a
  tool with which he may transform, redirect and to
  some extent harness and use the other form of power.
  The object of this reading course is to mark the
  route by which the student may safely travel in
  gathering such facts as he may wish to weave into his
  fabric of KNOWLEDGE.
