close of the school year to find certain

the school room, but if a girl will keep
herself strictly in hand for a short while
she will soon come to find true enjoyment

To know something about everything
rather than everything about something
is undeniably the educational ambition
of the present generation, and this prin-
ciple has certainly a great deal in its
favor 1t may not bring the same alb

course the basis of all knowledge is sim
ply knowledge or sufficient idea of a
subject to know how to understand and
know more.
Even the knowing something of a sub
ject, however, necessitates considerable
study, and it is a good nlan to take up
some one topic each summer and devote
the greater part of ones energies to
that alone. Astronomy, for example, is
seldom given as a course in school. yet
there is no study so marvellously inter
esting as the history of the heavens, the
names of the planets, their relation to
one another, whether or not there is posi-
bility of life on Mars or Venus. First
one should obtain chart of the sky and
find out the position of the different stars,
rising telescope, if necessary, and then
commencing on some simple book that
will tell the rudiments of the science of
astronomy. After that sufficient interest
is sure TO be aroused to necessitate a trip
to the nearest library for all books which
it may contain upon the most mysterious
and absOrbingly fascinating science
known to mankind.

- HE girl of to-day has little op-
portunity during the winter
months, busy with studies ana
pleasure, for any reading that Is
not connected with school work,
In the summer time, however,
there is ample time to fill the storehouse
of her mind with new, delightful ana
profitable ideas which will give pleasure
to her all through life. She should pro-
vide herself, therefore before ieaving
town for the vacation months with a
good collection Of books which will be
really worth while to read and not mere
ly means of forgetting the passing of
time.
The conscientious girl need not mag
inc, however, that she should employ all
her reading hours in the perusal Of books
of philosophy, history or the ologieS-
there are any number of novels which,
interspersed with the weightier books,
are truly profitable. The best historic
novels, for example, often give n better
picture of the times and events depicted
than is to be derived through any other
source, while there are also innumerable
romances which, although merely love
tales, are SO charmingly written and so
exquisite in their style that the reader is
at once uplifted and given happy,
wholesome view of life.
The way to the greatest and best cn-
joyment in reading is to keep on hand
several books of totally different charac-
ter-biography, modern novel, history,
classic. romance and poetry-and to turn
to each as the mood dictates. This method
can, of course, only he followed where
there is considerable leisure time at one S
disposal for during the crowded winter
months it is often difficult TO read book
through in short enough time to retain a
clear and consecutive idea of the story
and personages portrayed. In summer,
however, there are frequently weeks to-
gether so warm and enervating that the
mildest form of exercise is an exertion,
and this is the time of the whole year to
stock the storehouse of ones mind with
substantial food upon which it can sus-
tain the brain for months and years to
come.
