4 to liis tutor and asked for an education. His instructor replied, “Your Honor, there is no royal road to learn- ing.” This is the reply the ages have made to every in- dolent searcher after truth. The road the scholar must take, is not only difficult to travel but it is long. I hope you, my hearers, have taken this road for life. You should remember that the acquiring of the great things of life is usually a slow pro- cess. The secret of the impatience that is too often man- ifest in the acquiring of knowledge is often the low pur- pose to which it is consecrated If your acquiring of knowledge is to the end that you may undo your fellow then you are likely to become impatient for there will be many to undo. But if on the other hand you make it your business in life not to get ahead of other people, but to get ahead of yourself, life will have a holy rivalry that is wholesome for the soul.

Dissipation, which in the scholar takes the form of exhausted physical energy. Many students have fail- ed to win intellectual honors or even to make a reason- able success in life because of the dissipation of physi- cal energy. The storehouse from the mind draws in en- ervating powers must be kept replenished. The stu- dent that dissipates his or her energies by the keeping of long or late hours, for the enjoyment of the intoxi- cant, either in the form of alcohol, tobacco or opiate will at some time find the oil of life giving out and others will note that the once brilliant intellect is suffering an eclipse from which it will never be released. There is another form of intemperance that is far too prevalent in this age of books. That is the practice of congesting the mind with matter that is totally irrevelant to the
