The ideas expressed should be grasped. The relation of* the. ideas should be noted. The whole subject should be mastered once for all. . Hard study affords pleasure. All study should be so conducted as to plSasant. Every period of study should M well impi‘<»^‘' who wastes aa hour loses an opportunity for Improve­ ment which will never return.
