OUR MAscoTTE
hfascotte was talking with some college student
about their habits OF study and exercise m schoo
Ia every case, without exception. we may sa,
their study aud recitation hours came first au
their exercise afterward. 10 IN customary fc
students study all day until their nerves are uT
strung and their heads swim around and then lsi
Ia the afternoon take physical exercise. II TIA
plan could hc reversed, by taking the physical ca
ercise thc FIRST thing ia the morning and then stud,
the results would be much more gratifying an
beneficial. l3y this plan you will begin study Wal
the BODY Meaficd and the sensibliiies deadened "a
nerves will ice subdued and the feeling of restless
gone; bat lhe mind viii be fresh aud enli'
eneo, and the concentration OF thought and idea
Will be greater.
some OF us can read and study in any place
any time. aud under ala circumstances Nlgi
seems the best time for reading and study, as y
have none OF lhe cares aud incidents of the day
divert thoughts; bat this is the only rcasO
why a. should be preferable.
sir Isaac Newton and Hamilton used 10 read {
Or. la4ar FAasrT. =
better place available al thai time.
The time aud place OF reading is simply matt
o. habit. We are creatures oi haoh and notions
best, and IL we once gel an ldea nto oar heads IA
We can only read al night shut up ln a room 1
ourselves We will read nj no other time.

often sees her on the street-car reading some Ia
orite passages from Emerson on q book Of Iamiii
some oil us say. and have no doubt we belle
~. thiti we have time for reading. But IL
really care Tor books we viii take Time, and q
world viii move along just tIe same.
Take care OF the pennies and The dollars W
take care oi themselves, says the old sdage. II
prove the moments and We will ieel that the HOT
are not wasted.
