Show H fe Alexander Graham Pell says: "I did H i II not begin real study until 1 was over H J sixteen. Until thattlme my principal H sjjj reading was novels. They did not H I'jnj help mc in tho least, for they did not H $ give mc an Insight Into real life." It Is H ILj only those things that give one a grasp H , ! of practical affairs that arc helpful. B To read novels is no better than read- B lnc fairy stories or Arabian Night's H talcs. It Is a buttcrlly existence, so m i long as it lasts; but, some day, one is B 1 1 called to stern reality, unprepared. |
