How 20 Form the Reading Habit.

In order TO organize odd minutes into
fruitful hours one must have a con.
sistent scheme and keep the means OF
carrying II out within reach. Too many
people read the books which come in
their way instead Of putting them.
selves in the way Of getting the right
books. They buy and borrow withou,
thought or plan because they do not
understand that reading ought 10 be a
resource as well as a recreation. De-
eide In advance what books yoI will
read, and do not take up with those
which drift in your direction. Do not
burden yourself with a scheme so ex.
tensive that II discourages you; do not
at the start plan courses Of reading so
vast that you are weighed down with
their magnitude. Begin in a quiet and
easy way by planning TO read consec.
utively few books in some field which
interests you.-Hamilton w. Mabie in
