19. Develop the habit of asking yourself, "Is this what I would have coxpected?"
If it isn't, make a montal note of the item, or it may trip you on tho next test.

20. At the same time ask yoursolf, "Is the author right about it? I would havo
thought thus and so; why did I have that opinion? dad I any good evidence? Has
the author any for his opinion?" ‘YWhile this attitude is much moro valuable in some
subjects than in others, romembor that there are no infallible authors, and crrors
are still made by printers. Also, you may have misunderstood tho author.

21. You should come to the end of your study time with one or more questions.
or them on paper. Nothing pleases most teachers like an intcolligont question,

ased not on ignorance of tho assignment but on knowledge of it; and ‘and there is noth-
ee so likcly to contribute to your owm future intcrest and understanding.

22. Learn to read rapidly. Crowd yourself along. Don't move your lips or the
muscles of your throat while you road; it slows you down. Don't road every word,
except, perhaps, in poetry or drama. Practically any college student, cvon a
graduate student, can learn to increase his reading rate from fifty to more than a
hwidred percent by consciously trying, ond that without any loss of understanding.

TESTING YOUR Ky OWLEDG.

23. When you come toward the end of your study time, see whether you can summa-

rizc, to yoursclf, what you have learned. Don't say, "I know it but I can't tell
it," --you will know it ton times better if you make the oxtra cffort of learning
how to tell it, if only to yourself.

4. Talk about it to someone clsc, proefcrably, of course, with someone who is in-
erestcd and knows something about the subject. This is the kind of studying with
friend which is worth while. Learn by yourself, review with others when you can.

25. During recitation try to answer, to yoursclf, every question asked, instead of
sitting passively by. How would your answer have succecded? In this way you get
the advantage of reciting the whole ‘lesson, without tho strain.

--AND FINALLY-.-

26. Ask the teacher for help whenever you really necd it. Don't cxpect him, or a
Futor, to show you a way to understand without study; if he knew one he would toll
fit to the whole class. And don't be afraid of tho accusation of "apple polishing, *-.
we need this kind. Even the teacher asks questions; that's how he learned.

28. You won't learn to study in one day. It is worth spending a year to improve
your technique of study. :
