Show STRIVE FOR CONCENTRATION Short Period With the Mind Keenly Focussed on a Subject Will Produce Pro-duce Amazing Results. A college professor said to his faithful faith-ful but poorly prepared class: , "Judging "Judg-ing from your worn and tired appearance, appear-ance, young people, you are putting in twice too many hours on study."

This is another reason the beginner in attention training should at first be content with exceedingly exceed-ingly short exercise periods, of frequent fre-quent occurrence. His real need is to acquire not simply sim-ply the ability but the habit of keen rather than prolonged concentration. He wants to accustom his mind to focus instantly and vigorously on any subject presented to it for concentration. concentra-tion. Chicago News. |
