student of day stems to reteiva mora i hi share ef criticism a l moat generalities there la batts of truth in this ob snratlon it is obvious that not every k is able to excel academic ally bat h is also obvious that to do ones best is a form of ex cellencfl highly to be desired how many of us can honestly that we are using our fac adtieg- to achieve the best re nits many of us look on homework as an onerous bur den imposed on us by a sadis tie crew of teachers this of course is an erroneous assump tion as the only one that ben fits finally is the student no- g is easier than to convince yourself that you do not have the ability to achieve high marks therefore it is useless exert vounelf more than is barely necessarj if you tend to arrive at this conclus jon remember what einstein laid when asked what constit uted genius he replied gen ins a five percent inspiration and lunetynfive percent perspir mbon some students feel that one iocs not need to really start to work until one reaches the upper school this too is a fallacy if one dots not receive a good basic grounding in low er school it is almost lropos bible to attain decent mirks in upper school i am sure that any upper school student will confirm this statement another mistake students of ten make is to concentrate on the subjects we prefer at the expense of our poorer ones naturally we should gic more attention to the subjects that give us the most trouble bj doing so one s overall average will be much improved fthere is a growing tendency to feel that those who are able to achieve high mas are a race apart in most cases the marks attained are in direct re la 1 1 on to the amount of work involved todav the number of physi cal labourers and unskilled workers is diminishing under the advance of automation in

the questior it bothers every student ev y time he or she sits down to study hi a room shut off from the rest of the house and the rest of the family shut off from the television and from telephone even it is difficult to concentrate does all thi really discipline our mind tram us to concentrate woul i accomplish just as much i i went on with our weckl mad monthly routine without interruption during the whole vchool year and then wound up with one final examination at the end examinations are to tet our progress and to indicate how much useful information we manage to acquire thcv also tell us our weak spots the pi where we must eonccntratt fffiey tell our teachers what johnny or the whole of john nys class must wake up to if we skip these terot exams are hurting ourselves not our teachers if we study hard for each one of these it will not be i difficult for us when we come 0 the finals thit information which we have thoroughly learn ed will come back much more easily to us when we sit down to the final test it la out of the question not to have finals we might think h fa heaven not to have them fcut would we know anv thing at all i am sure we would just tamble along take in what wc iek we enjoyed if anything and let the rest slide no let us study for each set of ma as they come let us try each time to surpass what we djd on the last set let us show everyone
