The Ta1mud says there are four
kinds of pupils: the sponge and the
funnel, the strainer and the sieve. The
sponge is he who taketh up everything,
and the funnel is he who taketh in at
this ear and letteth out at that; the
strainer is he that letteth go the wine
and retaineth the dross, and the sieve
is he that letteth go the bran and re-
taineth the fine flour. The student who
begins at least to wish to belong to the
last-named class will not have been
sent to college in vain.
