~HE president Of the State College OF
Washington, DR.. E. O. Holland, has
II drawn up for the benefit of the students
series of suggestions looking to efficiency
in study. 1t seems a great pity that any
college president should find it necessary to
do this.
Long before young people get to college they
ought to be taught, inthe grammar swhools
how to study to best advantage, But the COM
mon observation is that as rule they are
not SO taught. Hence the real misery expe-
rienced by many of those who, despite made
ouate preLaration contrive to gain entrance
to some higher institution of learning.
Hence too the practical value OF DIR. Hol
lands suggestions to a multitude Of students
other than those in his own institution l
can give his advice, however, only in slight
ly abridged form: IL
Have a fixed time each day for the prepara-
ton of each lesson. Do not let anything break
into your schedule of work. Follow it faith
fully for month and you will be likely to
follow it for your four years in college.
Study the lesson as a whole to get a gen.
eraI idea of it's content, and then go back and
anaIyze it carefully. Ask yourself questions
about the lesson and try to answer these ques-
tions.
Make synopsis of whatever lesson you
have been studying, and visualize it SO that
the relationship of the various parts is clear
in your mind.
At all times work with concentration. Get
into the study with determination to I'M
derstand every part early, SO that you 1ndi-
vidually could answer all questions that might
be asked by the instructor, or you could stand
before the class and explain the lesson in
detail.
Occasionally review the past months or
weeks work. See If you understand it and
can make a summary Of the essential points.
Make yourself assume the attitude you
would have If you were playing tennis, base
ball, football, or any other game. Go in with
ali the interest, concentration, and, drive you
possess
You want to win in play. Be victorious IL
the intellectual challenge that has been thrown
down to you. Don't be gutter and don't
be a Second-rater
There comparatively few students who
would not find their work greatly improved
through faithful application of these hints by
DR.. Holland And 1t is certain that thousands
of young men and women would thereby be
saved from the ignominy of an involuntary
withdrawal from college life.
I could not understand why she should
be interested in what had happened be-
tween Herbert and me, l knew in a flash
that she had had some particular reason
for coming TO my room. 1t certainly
hadn't been because she wanted to be
with me without Interior MOTIVE.
He didn't stay long after we returned"
I said quickly. "But we took a much
longer ride than we had expected to take
when we started out"
Edith was silent a moment and when
she finally looked up there was a queer
little CLEAN in her eyes.
did you ever stop to think, Joan, that
you're flying in the face of Hilton con-
venttons when you are seen so much with
Herbert LiVin gStOn? OF course It's moth
ing to me-" she went on, in the face OF
my growing amaZement, "but hardly think
you would give so much of your time to
any man who was not your husband unless
you cared for him. I'm just give you
some friendly advice, that's all"
