HOW TO LEARN EASILY
CHAPTER I
ECONOMY IN STUDY
We must frankly face the fact that it is possible that some students in every class would be more useful to themselves and to the world in a "job", either on the front or back end of a street car; or in a good, substantial position in a machine shop, in a laundry, or in a confectionery store, or something like that. For it is possible, if not probable, that a certain percentage of a class are not at all of a scholarly "make-up", so that they can never be a success at any learned pursuit. The place to discover this is early in school, lest otherwise they waste precious time.
Interest in a Subject.—If students are naturally of a scholarly disposition it is much easier for them to study effectively than otherwise it could be. But whether scholarly or not they must first have a real interest in that which they wish to study.
