Love of Literature.

Love OF literature may be developed
best along two lines; first. by study n
Interpretation in classes; second, by
direction Of the reading OF the In
dlvidual. All who ave ever tried to do
such a thing know that 1t is easier to
study and interpret literature where
the class is small than where it Ii large.
In the large class, especially II 1t Is
made up OF younger people. there are
so many distractions rs to make the
task a difficult one. The private school
has the advantage OF having smaller
classes than the public school has. In
good private schools the masters select
books for the students and undertake
I, tit them to the individual needs. To
be most effective this selection must be
bsaed upon such knowledge OF the In
d~lvidual boy as is impossible In any
day school.
In developing n love for music or
sculpture or painting or architecture
the advantage OF the boarding schools
grows u of the fact that their patron
age gives them more support financial
ily along these lines than the State In
justified In giving the public schools
at this time. 1t Is again n matter OF
being In n position to give instruction
to the individual.
In closing this paper the writer
wishes to say that he believes that he
who loves his fellow men and loves ma
turc and loves good literature and loves
exercise and loves art will not only get
tho most nut of his leisure from day to
day but will also get and give the
most in the life that 10 to b.

and not when they are 81 work. This
Is as true OF the day laborer as II Is
Of the multimilliomire. And the day
laborer Is having more and more
leisure. The hours he may work are
being limited by law. Organization
after organization IL working toward
an eight hour workday without realiz-
ing that this may be the very worst
thing possible for those workmen
whom they would help. II we are 60
Ing to compel O man to stop his work
when he Is not prepared to use his
leisure wisely We may be bringing a
curse upon him. 1t is well for us 10
give this matter our very best thought.
II 1t is the business of the school to
prepare for successful living and IL
the use of leisure il of such vital i'm
portance us an element OF success. then
the school must take upon itself the
task Of training for helpful leisure. A
part OF this training may be done in
connection with the regular curricu-
lum. but It Is only a part that can he
done then: and 1t Is just here that the
private boarding school has Of It's
greatest opportunities for service. BY
virtue OF the fact that 1t keeps in touch
with its boys while they are at leisure
as well as while they are at work IL
car do great good that IA public day
school can not possibly do.
1t IL a more difficult task to train
for successful leisure thar it is to train
for successful work, because leisure
to be of the greatest value must be
spent by the individual in doing what
he wants to do, while work to be Of
the greatest value must be done by the
individual according to what other
people want him to do. Grcat' work
may be systematized. Great leisure
may not lie systematized. Work de-
ponds for its value upon world need;
leisure for its value upon individual
need. And yet the great majority OF
those who get the most out OF leisure
have one or more of five character
istics. These are love Of men. love of
nature, love of exercise, love OF litera-
ture, love of art. .
At first thought 1t would seem that
love Of travel should he included in
the above list; but he who travels
without any OF the Ave characteristics
named will not get much out Of the
travelling. The desire to excel Is so

The Honor system.

For years the writer has been trying
to learn the truth. but lie has never
found in any public school a successful
honor system. lie has found man.
private schools In which such a system
was eminently successful. II a boy
during his school course loses his faith
in the honor Of men all the knowledge
that he may gain will not compensate
him for this loss. 1t Is difficult to
imagine anything more p!tiable than "A
cynical child. II Is n very important
thing for parents to be Informed as to
the code Of honor prevailing in the
school to which they cntrust their
boys. Is it not true that the best pri-
vate schools have the best chance TO
maintain and that they do maintain
best the honor system? 1t Is the
prime business OF the public school to
take the worst boy and try to make a
better boy out Of him. That Is a very
great thing to do. All honor to the
great work hat has been done with
the worst boys. but that school that
has the smallest number OF the worst
boys offers the best chance to others.
Men may reason and be strong.
IOullS DOys IuNh ItdSplAIiS pDWtI anu
too often yield to the worst In their
moments OF weakness. God tempers
the wind To the shorn lamb.
II it IL true that in a good private
boa riding school there are to be found
a larger proportion OF lovable. honor
able boys II is also true that boys have
a better chance in the private school tn
have their attention fiXed upon that
which will make them lovers OF men.
This grows out Of the fact that during
the leisure hours the students are init
mate,y associated with their teachers
who have already learned to see the
good in others AS we'll as the art of
helping boys to do the same thing. In
addition boys in the boarding school
exchange visits ofterer and In these
during vacations and week ends see
more OF the grace OF hospitality.
The influence Of nature over human
life is far greater than the average
mar realizes. Emerson. as we'll as
many others, has called attention Il
the soothing, uplifting power OF ma
ture. He says that 1t Is impossible to
remain angry n one will spend one-
half hour alone in the woods. 1t Is a
good thing to study nature In the text
books, hut 1t Is "A far better thing to
study the books and to see and handle
the trees and the flowers and to hear
the birds sing and to watch them build
their nests and feed their young. 1t Is

Is that We have 40 many beautiful,

The use that a man makes OF his
leisure Is determining more and more
every day whether he will be a success
or q failure. The nan who wisely uses
his out OF office hours attracts more
business and does better business than
does the man who like the gambler is
miserable when away from his table.
He who so spends his leisure as to
build up his body and build up his mind
and give a higher reach In his soul will
come back to his office with a greater
insight into the things that count In
business, trailing behind him orders
from those who want to do business
with him because they have come to
know him at leisure.
