scheduled for certain Saturday afternoon.
II happens to be delightful October day and
several OF the team prefer to go to the theatre
Or 10 shop or have made engagements of
some sort that preclude their being at the

On their return to college they find that the
game was played without them and probably
lost TO the visiting team But why did you
not postpone it?" they will ask. And they get

brain that engaged in the conversation begin to
reproduce the thoughts uttered then-you remem

But you had forgotten eyen that you had met this
friend until asked the question, and had probably not

The entire brain is filled with these memories or,

power Of receiving impressions
more wildly, and, of course, these
reproduce more perfectly.
While you are young the brain
is not filled with Impressions; you
are eager for every new thought
and you concentrate your attention
upon each thought as it is received.
This power of concentration seems
to be like an engraver's tool which
marks the ideas of thoughts more
deeply on the disk OF memory, 80
