HOW TO READ.
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.
Copyright. 1911, by Frank Crane.)

There is, an old story about young
Prussian who conceived a veryp tactical
plan for acquiring a reputation lor
knowledge He claimed that he could
tell precisely how many nails were IN
the bridge over the river, how many
fishes swan. under the bridge every
day, how many grains of sand were IN
the river bank, and SO on. When ne
was asked what these respective num-
bers were, he replied offhand, why,
in. the bridge are 967.283 nails; the
fishes number i, GAG, 9D1, including MIN
nows, and the grains of sand IN
certain stretch of river bank are ~
0s3, 527, ell" The people were amazed at
his Knowledge, and as no one could. or
would, count and disprove he was abie
to put it across" as Americans say.
There is a deal of humbug about the
acquisition of knowledge: And the gen :
eral law may be laid down that the
storing of facts in the mind is OF no
necessary value. and often Is a mn
drance to clear thought.
Most Of the time Is wasted that IS
spent by law students IN reaulns,
by medical undergraduates in porting
over books on anatomy and medicine
and by school children generally IN
studying history, botany or anytnilS
else where such study Is merely the
gathering of facts.
This is a truth every learner should
know, that no fact is of any use TO mp
unless 1t can marry with some 1act
already in his mind.
Some one asked a sensible college
professor If he had read through all
the books in his library; he replied that
he never expected to read them
through. they were for reference.
A book is like storehouse; we go
would think of eating straight through
the shelves OF a grocery, nor or taxing
the contents Of. all the bottles Of a
drug store.
When you do not need fact and
cannot use it; it Is Of no value. It
would save us a world Of vain effort IT
we recognized this truth.
II you wish to know botany go out
! and find one plant, "analyze" 1t by the
formulas. learn about its family, It's
like, and the information you cluster
about this one tangible thing will stick
to you. The same principle holds good
in the study Of geology. of zoology or
Of any other science.
In learning foreign language all
the words that you commit to memory
are of no help to you except you use
them. connect them with what you al
ready know, and, SO to speak, digest
and assimilate them.
Further, there is SO much to be
learned by usage and observation that
no human being has time for swallow
ing masses of unrelated facts.
The well informed person Is not one
who knows a great deal, but one who
knows where to go to get any informa-
ton required. It is not information,
but how to hunt for information that
you need to learn. How to search
through books for facts as a hunter
treads the forest for game, that is the
thing. To be able to find out about
a certain subject that interests you,
working with a library, is better than
to know all Gibbons history by heart.
You do not need great reading SO
much as to know the art Of reading
and of skipping.
