In fact, we sometimes call one “a great reader” because he is always digging into books, when in truth he is indulging himself in an excess and is dissipating his mind, making it flabbier instead of stronger. The mere acquisition of knowledge is not study. To gratify one’s curiosity for infor- mation may be of no value, Study, to be of real use, must be with an Object in View. Facts should be ac- quired for the purpose of employing them, just as no food is beneficial unless it can be digested.

It is the teacher’s function to awaken that interest, not to allot tasks. Without appe- tite eating benefits you little, and without interest study is time lost. ‘ Ariother essential in study is lively At- tention. A thing vividly impressed upon you stays with you. If your attention wanders, shut the book, do something else, and «ome back to it later. 3. perhaps the most important element in study is Repetition. That is the secret of mastery. Never mind, if you have for- gotten: look it up again. All effort and straining to remember is labor lost. Consult again. And again and again, Only so comes clear the permanent vision. Repetitio mater studiorum—repetition is the mother of learning. Another essential matter is to Under- stand all you read. *Do not assume. Do not take things for granted. Challenge every fact. Use the dictionary, the en- cyclopedia, the teacher. Investigate. Ask questions. Know. Do not guess. Study Regularly Whether You Fee) Like It or not. The feeling will come in the grooves of habit. There can be no strong mental fibre without discipline. And er the habit’ of study is formed, and pursued diligently, you will find it to be one of the most Unalloyed Joys of ex- istence.4 Most. persons who have led any sort of is @ solid front and puts the proposition up to the people East in the proper light. wanders aimlessly, Again, to study efficiently one must be | Mayor Hylan, says a New ater | intellectual life can truly say: “My happiest must be almost as much maney in} hours Have been my hours of study.” * . getting married as in teaching . . school, The American government has ite Tittle weaknesses, . ° ate 4 doesn't have to ask for a vote of confidence every / ANSWERED weeks. .
