come such a whirlwind center of
"outside acttviies,"-social,
UrOR t ajlc, tl
;casual obserer, looking o dtn
the outside, cannot see "where
the studying comes in,"
many young men who left home
to obtain a college education,are
-led
courses in college life.
To serious-minded students
set by such confgicting claims
d earnestly desiring to utilize
r their all-round development
th college life and college stu
'mes, the following suggestions
offered. They are born of
g and Sympathetic experience
d are presented with full con
ence that in them will be
und a solution of the problem,
less the requisite wisdom and
ll-power to follow them are
;clking.
First. Systematize your daily
Iogram of work and play.
: Time is your most valuable
"bssession. By utilizing for in
nsive study the odd half and
arter, hours now wasted,, you
n probaA save an heUr each
y for outsi* ti fi; Hate
daily prog-am *nd the back
'hne to stick to it, NQi#e g1it
01ru a day. Drive your' ship of
Ife under its own steam along
self-chosen- cerse towErd
bme definite goal regardleg of
r.ind or tide.
Cultivate promptness and
ick decisidn even in the small.
t matte. Despise dawdlitig
er anything, and shun. the
ti abit of postponement as yot
Yould a loathsome disease. Take
..savage. pleasure in doing
romptly. the things you. hatF
but know-you'otght to do.
- In short, organize, systemat
ike, and speed up your daily tou
tine and 'you will' double you
legitimate leisure, without ir
the least diminishing your daily
output of regular work.
Second. Li;piit your outsli&
activities, and be wise enougli
and strong enough to cut out
purposeless loafin~g and uselesi
recreations.
Such indoor sedentry reciea
*tions as chess, cards, pool, plc
ture shows, drugstore and hotel
loafing, novel reading and thea
*ter-going may be switable- for
bther people, but for studente
,it) be6t eo boarding school are
<a foolish waste of precious time.
Invest most of your leisure timE
in manly, competitive, strenuous
sports and games, preferably ini
the open air, and gain, on the
one investment. d .half-dOeen

This will not only rapidly de
velop mental power- now un
dreanied of, but will enable you
to do your work in half the ,
thus solving the prolem,
curing success in stti'
ple time for outside-edvisie.

times for study. If yout camt!!
do this, have wisdom ail a
bone enough to seek a tteW and
more favorable locatiorii:
B. Invent and adopt Methhds
of Stimulating your Cohcentra
tion. Study your competition
with others. With your watch
open before you, study against
time. In studying, read a para
graph - with intense attention,
thdir spend the samb numnber- of
minutes, with your eyes shut, re
ealiiny every word of it. Try a;
mercilessly applied system of
personal -rewards and punish
ments, forcing yourself to earn
such rewards as -playtime, recre
ations, picture shows, trips, and
social pleasures, and penalizing
yourself for neglected duties,
failures and. wasted time.
C. 'inally, Learn to Concen
trate your Attention on a Sub
ject as a matter of Willpower,
regardless. of its intrinsic inter
est or attractiveness. Until you
can do this ,you have still the
untrained mind of a ,child what
ever your age, appearance, or
college degrees. This ability to
control the attention is at once
the chief end of all college train
ing and its most accurate meas
ure. It is the infallible sign of
mental maturity, the stepping
stone to intellectual. power, the
surest guarantee of future suc
cess. To master a distasteful
study by# sh.ew power .of will is
the most valuable exercise in
your whole college curiculum.
