eventually for college.
The Daily Programme
At seven o'clock in the morning hi
Is up and about. whistling in DO,
fashion, or frolicking with his dog
There is apparently nothing heavier
on his mind at this time than 8
healthy hunger for breakfast.
His mother having gone to Chicago
he Is the only member of the family
in the house. Consequently he eats
his meals in solitary state, which he
does not like overmuch.
After breakfast he puts on his rid.
Ing toys and telephones to the groom
at the stables to bring around his
pony. A few minutes later he is can
tering over the smooth roads around
Lakewood.
This exercise he likes best of all.
1t plays havoc with his rheumatism
and brings a glow to his somewhat
pale cheeks.
u III otu liz I'D OoNtA
again, ready for his morning studies.
Arithmetic he does not like very much.
Ii is too dry and prosy to suit his
rather imaginative nature. But he
| does his sums with fine perseverance.
If he does not understand the why and
wherefore he does not hesitate to ask
his tutor.
Fond of History.
Then comes history, which has a
very high place in his regard. He
likes to read about the doings of the
great generals of the world and of
great epochs which made and unmade
empires-of how Hannibal fought his
way over the Alps and almost to the
gates of Rome, of the wars of Caesar,
of Cromwell and of our own great
man, George Washington. In this
particular study Master Field does
not have to be spurred.
Then ONE a lesson in grammar.
which he also regards as a Father
tough proposition. But he dives into
the mass of adverbs, pronouns and
propositions with a brave spirit, and
usually ONE out with flying colors.
This brings him up to IL o'clock.
by which time he is rather tired. He
usually goes to his own room and
rests until luncheon, after which he
amuses himself according to his bent
Of mind until two o'clock.
Sometimes he plays ball or ping
nnnO and COnDptinoCS If tho urnathnr ic
fine, he walks downtown with his
dog. 1t is only a short respite from
toll at best, and 1t passes all too
quickly.
At two o'clock he Is again in the
study room with his tutor, ready for
business. This is the longest and
hardest grind of the day. He begins
with geometry and studies all about
parallelograms and angles
as if he liked them. But he doesn't.
Geography comes next, and proves
to h somewhat Of a relief from the
dry bones of geometry.
Other standard studies follow, and
late in the afternoon the young heir
Of the Field millions Is ready for his
in Latin.
Just what Latin has to do with the
handling Of the Field estate is not
apparent. Nevertheless it is one of
things which Master Field is re-
Iuired to get acquainted with.
After Latin it is only a step to
but in that step Master Field
1t times almost dislocateS his jaw. 1t
S pretty hard for a boy of IL to prop
erly pronounce %"ceuil," for instance,
it has to be done.
He is also studying English litera-
ure. and two or three minor courses,
follow in their proper order. I
Night comes, but it brings no cessa-
ion in the wearisome grind. The ,
lights are turned on, and for an hour r
II more the youth continues his work. +
At six o'clock he is through for the
lay. He is then a very tired boy, and =
S willing to cry quits with his tutor. =
Its pretty hard work" said he in 7
esponse to a question; "but l know
is got to be done, and the sooner 1 :
et through with it the better" r
Doesn't Care for Wealth. =
when you inherit your GRANDPA O
fortune, what will you do {
18th it?' G
"Oh, I don't want it. I would rath-
r not have it," was the quick reply. n
Mamma might have it. But Of I,
purse If grandfather wanted me to
axe it I would have to do it."
Thus at IL we find Marshall Field +,
I. shrinking from the thought of 4
lie possession of great wealth, but h
has thirst for knowledge, for D
aving delivered himself of the above "
,ntiment, he continued: s
Il am going to keep up my studies r,
ntil I enter some college" T,
And is it not well that such should t(
, the case during the formative years b
his life? Soon enough the business h
stinct may possess him and lead him W
the footsteps Of his worthy fore "
