Miss Alice f. Wyckoff of Trenton,
spoke en- THE Daily Ten" Disdaining
| the intention of adding to O. taking
from the famous Daily Dozen" ofWal-
ter Camp, she said that the de ire was
to advocate the possibilities and impor-
lance of mental exercise. The speak
er divided her subject into three great
subdivisions Where, what and how
to read. Under the head of where to
Tread, Miss Wyckoff urged the utiliza
I ton of minutes and fractions of hours
that are usually passed in idleness BY
the thoughtless, So 81 ing that 10 minutes
spent in this way each day would
amount to ninety hours worth while
work in q year. AS to how to read the
speaker urged any method which
would assist in fixing what was read in
| the mind of the reader. Among the
methods suggested was one of writ
=; ing out synopsis of the S ibject, or
telling it to another in ones own
Language, both of which not ONLY in
creased knowledge but as listed in
i the requirement of a vocab 1larl +.
urging the reduction of the read
ling Of fiction to minimum
and that of the best The speaker urg-
ed the reading of bio graphies, us
living illustrations from real life of
ten problems which ,nfront man
kind of every age. The reading of
scientific subjects was urged as q
means Of acquiring some C ncep ion
of the Creator and recommending the
reading of poetry, as method of
cultivating the imagination. Selec-
tions from Tennys n, Kilmer and 9th
err poets were read, as illustrations OF
the possibilities OF developing the fac
uty of imagination. The reading of
! history was suggested as a means Of
tcultivating among other things, the
virtue of toleration, as the certain
ties of today are very apt to be cast
aside tomorrow as refuted and re-
| fused
The speaker closed by reading some
selections from Twenty Min ties
of Reality" as illustrating the joy and
bliss of realizing to the full the beauty
of life.
| At the conclusion of the address a
| souvenir of the occasion, cold meat
fork, was presented to Mrs. Rue. of
Freehold, as the oldest person pres
ent, and a toy to the youngest,
Elizabeth Baird Vandenbergh, of
Englishtnwn.
