THE HABIT UTUjf. Capt.lv,. C.Partin, 7th. Inf.
MThere is no business, avocation whatever, which will not per
met a man, who has the inclination, to give a. little tine, every
day, to study." -Daniel Wyttenbach. 1
How true iz is and yet how many of us actually do a certain amount
of studying each day. If one would devote even twenty minutes a
day to real concentrated hard study one would he surprised at the
amount of information gained and the knowledge stored. However
there should he judgement used in selection of the books, but even
the poorest would be better than none at all.
In selecting the hooks to read or study you should feivexconsid
eration to the profession vou are in or the work you are doing and 5
try to study along lines that will make you better qualified in f
your work. Eor diversion read books pertaining to things other
than the work you are engaged in. You can read, improve your
mind and at the sane time not inconvenience any one else .nor raise
jealousy by conversing with one in preference to another. This is
best expressed by Walter Savage Landor - "We enter our studies, and
enjoy a society which we alone can bring together. We raise no
jealousy by conversing with one in preference to another; we give
no offence to the most illoustrious by questioning him as long as
we will, and leaving him as abruptly."
"Learn to be good readers - Learn to be discriminative in your
reading; to read faithfully with your best attention, all kinds of
things you have a real interest in". - Carlyle.
CHILEOC? POST GETS CITATION.
Ho one has asked me to hand out. any compliments and I nave no
reason to expect a two-bit piece for it. j?ut why should we wait
to ve asked for compliments.' I would rather hand out compliments
any time than throw mud. Throwing mud is a dirty job, giving credit
for a good piece of work is more elevating and more desirable.
So here is to the editors of "The Chilkoot Post"-. Some one is do
ing some hard grinding to get out those closely written sheets each
week, and your readers want you to know that your work is appre
ciated. The character of the articles and the high moral tone of
the whole publication is to be highly commended. -- E,E.Bromley.
