READING the NEWSPAPER.
The Only Way to Keep In Touch with
the World.

tho World.
President William De Witt Hy3e
CONT ibutes to religious paper a
chapter Of advice to young people on
reading. In the course OF which he
says that ten minutes a day is enough
TO spend on daily paper. The pre-
posterous things so often done and
said by college professors, and their
frequent betrayal of a lack of every
day gumption-things that make them
laughing stock TO the public-sug-
gest that many OF them have followed
President Hyde's advice. No sensible
person advocates a thorough reading
OF newspaper-each issue contains
matter OF interest and importance only
to special classes; but each issue also
contains an cpitome OF the history of
the world for that day; a record of
progress, something of the thought OF
the best minds-altogether matter as
important as the history or thought
OF 1CO or 1000 years ago TO the educa-
ton and culture of the man of
to-day, and much more essential to
his material welfare. II takes some
thing more than ten minutes to read
and digest this daily summary; the
collegiate adviser ought at least to
allow half an hour; some intellects not
the most alert might even require an
hour. II all men were to spend their
lives in their Libraries and had little
or nothing to do with the outside life,
the work-a-day world. such advice as
that OF President Hyde might have
fitness. In fact, 1t would not be neces-
aary for them to read the papers at
all. AS 1t Is. however, this is a very
practical world. Men who are in It
and Of II must keep themselves in
touch with many things. and they
can do this through the daily papers
better than in any other way. II the
author OF the advice quoted will look
over the ground he will probably find
