Never give that hour to anything else, Nover permit yourself to sacrifice it to any purpose, because no pur pose could possibly be more important than the business of feeding your mind, You can’t keep up nowadays without reading, There was a timo of less severe competition when the training and expansion of the mind could be neglected without such serious results, But that time is past, Even if you are competing with the least skilled kind i {of skilled laborers, you must still read or a multitude of your com: petitors who do read will surpass you, What to read? A natural mind naturally reads that which is beneficial, just as a natural stomach craves only health-giving food, But you may have abused your mind, You may have made it a lodging-place for spiders and rats, a breed ie The ing-ground of rank, ill-emelling, worse than FOR READING, worthless weeds, Tf that is so, you will prob Peeowoeweweee® ably got little honefit from your reading—at first.

How to begin?
