Some students begin language for
the mere love of knowing foreign
tongues; others acquire them either for
professional purposes or with the aim Of
gaining access TO foreign literatnres
But whatever be the motive it is well To
set out WITH some knowledge Of the
science of language-some insight into
the relations of languages TO each other
some grasp of the theories Of modern
scholars about the origin and develop
ment OF speech. To learn language
without knowing anything of the science
OF language is like acquiring the art Of
putting mp electric fixtures without any
knowledge of the principles Of electrical
science.
To approach it, on the other hand.
from the standpoint of universal prin-
ciples is to make tho study of it easier
and progress In any particular tongue
much more rapid. BY knowing, for ex.
ample. the laws of eonsonantal inter.
change, we may often discover the
meaning of words without being Obliged
to refer for them to the dictionary. In
this way every new language learned
makes more easy the requirement of
other tongues Of the same or Of allied

Poor students az Yale.

The favorite method Of payinA for
board IL 10 organize an eating club. The
process is simple. At tile beginning Of a
year a man goes around among his class
mates and secures eight or ten who agree
10 take their meals together. He then
goes b some landLidy and agrees TO fur
nish her with an eating club Of students.
lie agrees furthermore 20 relieve her
from nil pecuniary responsibility by col
Letting at the end IT each week from the
men the money for their hoardand hand
ing it over to her. In return for this she
agrees to furnish him with his board. Ii
Is beneficial to the student. because the
members of the club. knowing that he Il
In Strengthened circumstances. are always
willing % help him by paying regularly
and promptly.
Every class has in IL fn.sg or five mon
TORS. whose duty ii Is To record The alb
sence or hardness Of stndenta ut reeita-
tons or morning prayers. A monitor
receives $50 year from the faculty
The same amount il paid each year to
the man who rings the college bell. OF
late years the college press has been a
fruitful source of revenue to its editors.
The Literary Magazine pays to each ed
itor from $40 TO $3.50 year. The
financial editor receives from $3.50 10
$3.50. The News phys to ench senior ed
itor from $3.50 to s2sa. and the financial

Record and Courant ought To pay to each
senior editor $3.50 yearly. but often,
through poor management, barely covers
expenses The Yale Banner clears TO the
publisher from 5000 to $3.50. and Tho
