and boxes to make sure each
is labeled and that each of
the labels is stuck tight.
Re stock your darkroom
with a definite plan in mind.
Place your chemicals, espec-
tally the working solutions
in definite array, close to
the sink, in such an, order
that you can reach for a
certain bottle, even in the
dark, and find it at once
when needed. Place the little
used items behind those that
are in frequent use and,
above all, place those that
contain poiSonS on the high
est shelf or, better yet, in a
locked cabinet well out Of
reach, of children.
Papers and films, of course,
should be kept, if possible, in
drawers or cabinets to pre-
vent any chance of acciden-
tai Jogging.
Fill Bottles to Neck
Now, with your darkroom
clean and ship shape, you
can get down to the business
of preparing for film and
print processing. Stock solu-
tions can now be mixed and
stored away in clean bottles,
ready for use when needed.
To prevent oxidation and
consequent loss of strength
of the solution. always fill
the bottles all the way up to
the neck. If you are accus-
toned to using small amounts
simply use small bottles. It's
always better to use fresh
processing solutions when
possible.
Shrug off these words of
wisdom and you may look
forward to constant trouble
and annoyance in the months
ahead. You will find little
pinholes on your negative,
tiny spots on your prints,
and probably staining of both
items due to tiny dust and
chemical particles that float
around in the air of dark
rooms that haven't been well
cared for.

"AAtCA
Is your darkroom in shape
for the fall and winter print
ing season? The chances are
good that it needs somewhat
more than casual attention
in the way of a cleanup, sup
ply check, and stock replen-
ishing if you plan on spend
ing your cold-weather hours
in making prints from the
previous seasons negative
crop.
Last spring was late. When
warm weather finally arrived
most of us took off with our
cameras without paying much
attention to our darkfoomS,
from whence come all pic
lures, be they good or bad.
Now no one likes to work
in a dirty, cluttered-up dark
room, but aside from this the
effect of ordinary dust as vel
as chemical dust that has
accumulated from last years
spilled solutions can wreak
havoc with both films and
prints as they are being proc
eSSed.
Discard Old Solutions
First, pour all of the old
working solutions that you
may have saved down the
sink. The odds are they will
be worn out and will do more
harm than good. Undiluted
concentrates, on the other
hand should be worth saving,
although it might be good
idea to mix a small batch
of working solution and make
a test print or two just to
be on the safe side. Any
stains on the print or undue
length of development time
would indicate that the
chemical solution has lost its
value.
To do a really good job on
your darkroom we suggest
that you remove all its con-
tents, including papers,
chemicals, printers, ETC., leav-
ing the room and its cabinets
and shelves entirely bare.
Then go to work with
plenty of soap and water,
mop and rags and scrub it
down from top to bottom.
Only after the place is
thoroughly clean and free of
all CRIME and dust, start
moving back your equipment
and stock.
Return Clean Items
But also wash or dust off
everything you take back into
the darkroom. Clean each
item before it is taken back.
Also look over all the bottles

There are two ways to carry
on with any course of study.
One of these is to postpone
study until Just before exami-
nations.
The other is the study-as-
you-go method.
The pay = as = you proSp r
method has made income tax
paying less painful. And the
.study-as-you-go plan will make
study more efficient and much
more enjoyable.
First let's examine some Of
the evils of the put-off-and-
cram system:
l. All arguments to the con-
trary, the system of studying
ultimately is more time con-
suming. Thorndyke prove d
that the total effort necessary
to attain a grasp of a subject
at a single, prolonged session is
much greater than the effort
expended in a series of shorter
sessions.
2. Class periods are not ef-
ficiently used. Taking notes
while paying little attention to
what you're writing produced
no learning.
8. Undermining a vast amount
of material in the text dis
tracts from your comprehen-
sion Of what you are reading.
This merely postpones learn
ing which could be better done
on the spot.
A Positive Approach
4. Cramming sessions are
mostly memorizing sessions. So
little organization of knowledge
takes place that students who
use this system often change
their majors every two or three
semesterS to avoid advanced
courses. They know their
knowledge is not sufficiently
well organized to continue study
in this field.

is nothing more or less than
pushing the scholastic panic
button from three to a half
dozen times a year, let us take
a more positive approach to
learning.
How can we study efficient
ly? What is systematic study?
/. Systematic study starts
with preparation for the final
examination early in the Sc
mester. Start right out trying
to work the new knowledge
into a general pattern.
2. Keep struggling with your
organization of the subject
matter. Periodic consideration
of the overall plan of the
course tends to help refine your
thinking about the course. Keep
in mind throughout the Semes-
ter that organized knowledge
through its very organization
acts as a memory system.
3. An overall pattern pro-
videS an outline for the final
review which relieves the stu
dent of the worry that he may
have neglected to study some
major course element. Tou can
tell when your review is COM
plete.
Pays Off Three Ways
Rewards from this pattern
of study will be generous: The
fact that you know more about
the course from the very start
will make the classes and the
course more interesting and
therefore more enjoyable.
You will go through the Sc
mester with a feeling of ade-
quacy and well being instead
of with kind of guilt feeling
fed by apprehension associated
with the wait-and-cram sys-
tenn.
On that night before exami-
nation day you can spend a
little time pleasantly polishing
the ore of knowledge instead
of just beginning the long dig
for it.
