STUDYING-J. Fl. W, City. 1t is true that in
Europe there are many who at an advanced
age, say 80 or 80 years, attend colleges and
universities, but as general thing it is TO per-
feet themselves in some particular study
There is no reason why person at that age
should not be as clever a student as one of
younger years. A teacher in one OF the even
ing schools of this city in which there are
among the scholars a great number who are
over 30 years said recently that many of these
could not repeat the alphabet when they joined
| the class. 1t was noticed during the term that
these were the most studous and in comparison
with others who had had the benefit of prior
elementary education made greater advances.
Age appears to have nothing to do with study
ing 1t is simply matter of fixing the mind
| closely upon subject with view to under
standing and mastering it.
