The question of short versus long
periods of practice in training the
human muscles for any particular
kind of work is obviously one hav-
ing far-reaching application Some
interesting experiments on this sub-
ject have been carried out by Dr
K S Lashley of Johns Hopkins uni-
versity Acquisition of skill in arch-
ery was selected as the subject of ob-
servation Twenty untrained per-
sons were divided into three groups
One group shot five arrows with the
English longbow per day another
twenty shots per day and the third
forty sliotB The results showed con-
clusively that the group shooting
only five times a day improved in
accuracy with less expenditure of
time in practice than was required
by either of the other groups for the
same amount of improvement A
report on the experiments says:
“The relatively greater efficiency of
short periods of practice continuing
for many days is in accordance with
the results of the Btudy of animals
and of speech habits in man and in-
dicates that in training to muscular
feats in both animals and men the
length of practice periods required
is usually too great for maximum
efficiency”

Do not make the mistake of hav
ing your glasses fitted without
an instrument It is accurate

SOME GOOD IN PURPLE PATCH
Absolute Condemnation of “Flaehee’’
In Compoeltlon Can Hardly Be Said
to Be Warranted
Every textbook on rhetoric con-
tains a warning against “purple
passages” and nearly every literary
critic has at one time or another
held them up to wrath This cen-
sure needs some qualification
A purple patch may not he bad in
itself its fault may be that it ac-
centuates the poverty of the sur-
jounding texture — that it is not a
true and rational effect and devel-
opment of style
Its writer has often been com-
pared with a man who wears a drab
coat which has been mended by a
piece of gay cloth designed for some
gorgeous wearer
But if the drab coat offends our
eyes why should we deny them the
pleasure of looking on the splash of
vivid color ?
To write a sentence ending with a
preposition is a misfortune to split
an infinitive is a crime but the man
who composes a purple passage may
retort on his critics by saying that
he was giving a sample of what he
could do had he taken more pains
or were he more happily inspired
DIDNT DESERVE IT
“I gave a seat to a woman in a
street car this morning”
‘I don’t suppose she even acknowl-
edged your courtesy”
“Oh yes She acknowledged it
all right She said ‘I w as just won-
dering how long I would have to
stand in front of you before you
would get up’ ”
AN AFTERTHOUGHT
“Jack took me in his arms and
proposed to me”
‘Heavens ! Why didn’t you make
him propose to you first?”
“I — I don’t belie e he intended to
'do it until he took me in his arms”
