HOW TO STUDY" SUBJECT OF
TALK AT ST. JOSEPHS SCHOOL

Without a knowledge of proce-
dure, the students intentions and
labors at their best may be mis-
directed and misapplied, and may
lead to naught, just as any virtue,
such. for instance, perseverance,
if misdirected, or extreme, may
become a vice.
"The Niagara is a great power
and directed right and properly
applied it can give thousand
blessings-water, heat, light, to
run our factories and to give US
many conveniences, but if not gov
erned rightly it could destroy the
city.
"The student should therefore
be made to see not only the neces-
sity of hard work, and how to
work, but also how to work eff
fectively.
eff little labor, little are our
gains;
Mans fortunes are according to

Through it he loses sense of

in school is dimmed if not entirely
destroyed. He may decide that he
is different, that the odds are
against him, he can't compete with
his companions. His parents, his
teachers, his teasing playmates.
his failures all help to stigmatize
him as a failure. As a result he
often looks elsewhere for a chance
to succeed, a very natural and
universal ambition. And this
leads to day-dreaming, idleness

The boys of st. Joseph's school
were held in rapt attention to an
interesting and instructive talk by
the principal on "How to Study"
The speaker said:
"'In recent surveys of the study
habits of pupils in the high schools
and colleges in the United States
we are shocked to learn that our
brightest pupils were classed as the
LATEST loafers. The mediocre,
dull, slow and backward pupils
put more study hours in than
their gifted companions but got
lower grades, as rule, 900 of
all were not students. The girls
rated a little higher than the boys
in their teens, but in their (tys)
the goods ambition turned on
more interesting subjects.
"The educators, alarmed by this
condition, chant a mournful la
mentation about the neglect of the
infant genius and the coddling of
the backward, a typical, abnormal
and criminal type. They too,
must shoulder some of the guilt,
because many have lost their way
in the field of education. They
have divided themselves to the
, right and the left, and the goats
are bucking at any advancement
and cutting capers by some of
their pedagogical fads and fancies,
that amuse the child but will al
ways keep him with child's mind.
1.-THE complete abandonment OF
formal discipline as is manifested
by many of their foolish ideas of
expression and individualism, have
gone long way to hinder scholar

"The startling and stunning sit.
