The struggle, once so intense, is now softened by time. The classes seemed endless. The hours went on forever. There was always another hook to buy. And somehoch would always get a 100 and skew the curve. But we joined together, and despite u all, the smiles never stopped. 57 58 r- M  VF ? tik 4M c « 59 61 62 64 65 66 The first and simplest stage in this discipline is crimestop, which means protective stupidity. It in- cludes the power of not grasping analogies, of failing to perceive logical errors, of misunderstand- ing the simplest arguments, and of being bored or repelled by any train of thought which is capable of leading in a heretical direction. WAR IS PEACE FREEDOM IS SLAVERY IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH In our society, those who have the best knowledge of what is happening are also those who are furthest from seeing the world as it is. This peculiar linking together of opposites — knowledge with ignorance, cynicism with fanaticism — is one of the chief distinguishing marks of our society. The official ideology abounds with contradictions even when there is no practical reason for them. Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two makes five.

Seeking means to have a goal, but finding means to be free, to be receptive, to feel new experiences unhindered.

But at times the spring-flood of memory sets with force up the dark River of the Nine Bends. Then on the waters of the forlorn stream drifts a ship — a shadowy ship manned by a crew of Shades. They pass and make a sign, in a shadowy hail. Haven ' t we, together and upon the immortal sea, wrung out a meaning for our sinful lives? Good-bye, brothers! You were a good crowd. As good a crowd as ever fisted with with wild cries the beating canvas of a heavy foresail; or tossing aloft, invisible in the night, gave back yell for yell to a westerly gale.

Nothing seen there is lost; the rhythms of disease are learned by frequent repetition; its unforseen occurrences stamp themselves indelibly in the memory. Before the student is aware of what he has acquired he has learned the aspects and causes and probable issue of the diseases he has seen with his teacher, and the proper mode of dealing with them so far as his master knows.
