slnerent Views Regarding the Interesting

Siherent views heEnrdlng tue interesting
Question Of Wasted Time.
There are many different and more
or less conflicting views as TO what
constitutes waste of time. Severe
people consider every moment wasted
that is not devoted 10 productive work
or necessary sleep or rest. They would
make OF man mere machine, TO be fed
TO maintain his energies, TO be allowed
TO sleep n limited number OF hours TO
prevent wearing out, but would have
him devote all his other hours TO work
Of some kind.
Other people, little broaderin their
views, recognize the need Of inteliec-
tual culture and would permit GER
tain amount of time 10 bc given TO
reading and study without counting il
a waste. The liberals recognize an.
other need of humanity, and allow
some hours for recreation and amuse
nent But there may be waste Of
time under any of these limitations,
and they may be TO some extent vio
lated without waste. Time is wasted
that docs not produce benefit OF some
kind 10 the individual, but the kinds
