Regular Habits
It is a good plan to have a regular
time for reading. One accomplishes
so much more in this way, and be-
sides establishes a kind of intellec-
tual habit that is a good hting in It-
self. In an hour, or even half an
hour given regularly each day to read-
ing, a great deal may be accom-
plished. Do not confine yourself to
serious books. Alternate light with
heavy reading, and do not attempt
heavy reading when you are tired. Do
not read merely to be amused. Treat
your books as frlands. Do not follow
blindly the teachings of any book.
