The preparation must consist of attention to tho little lit-tle things as well as to the bigger things of life. Every day is the best day for preparation. Mr. Maughan also gave the students valuable instructions in-structions with reference to their school life, their conduct at their boarding places, and their retation-ship retation-ship to one another.
