How to Read.

At best the printed words of an au-
thor represent but poor fraction of
what is in his thought and feeling, of
what he would express if he could.
Therefore, it is we'll to follow Ruskin's
advice on reading for the thought"
and "get into the habit of looking in
tensely at words and assure yourself
of their meaning syllable by syllable
nay, letter by letter." Not only does
this help you to understand the au-
thor's meaning by comprehending his
words, but the act Of concentration
fertilizes and awakens your own mind
and tends to bring you into such SYM
pathy with the idea expressed, and
with the author, that you are illumined
by far more of the subject than the
printed words alone contain.-William
