mol this and that WHEN I'LL BE GLAD TO DIE -ByE,nes,Bake,-36, When lhe very lasl page is finished, When fhe very lasl chapler is read, When I and Miss Dean shall quarrel no more, Then I hope lhal I'II be dead.

Tl-IE STORY OF AN ASSIGNMENT Every day, we sludenls are assigned a lesson. These lessons should be worked oul in order, and schedule. No person can lel all lheir work go unlil il is lime lo recile and lhen lry lo prepare il all al once. The mind can nol grasp il all lhen remember il also. Some pupils are nalurally inclined lo do lheir work in lhis way while olhers have lhe lendency lo lel lheir work slacken. For inslance, one day lwo boys were given a An Editorial special assignmenl, lhis assignmenl was due in lhree days. The lwo boys were very good sludenls. Bul one had lhe habil ol gelling his work as soon as il was assigned, if possible. The olher one usually worked oul his assignmenl, iusl belore lhe lesson. When lhe day lor lhe assignmenl came, bolh boys came lo class wilh lheir work. Bolh lhemes were given and lhe class was called upon lo decide which was lhe beller ol lhe lwo. The boy who prepared his work as soon as lhe assignmenl was given was chosen. The olher boy's lheme would have been iusl as good perhaps, bul by leaving il, he had losl inleresl and lherelore il wasn'l as good as possible.
