In other the affairs of maxim we do by doing would be no need of teachers, and the world would have no bunglers and dunces, or at the most very few. There is an art of studying as there is an art of teaching, and words, the that learn to not the whole truth, for it is in a thing case there that common to both. many good students who students and some indifferent who their work, did they know and apply there are certain principles that are I suspect that there are would be better would be fair in some of the principles which I shall try to set forth.

It place in the student's mind and the good business student, like man, fits all his other occupations and his recreations to the demands and opportunities of his work. This means that the successful student is systematic in the use of his time and strength. But he is systematic also in the way in which he does his studying. If there are four lessons to get in the interval of twenty-four hours he will not spend half an hour on one and leave it half done and take up the next for another half hour, but each lesson will receive its due share of time in some fixed order, and one task will usually be completed be- The only wholesome exception to this rule is made when the mind wearied with the effort expended upon some difficult piece of work must fore another is begun. turn to another some of some of student turns to problems to this in occupation for the relief and rest of its faculties, as, for Greek or German Mathematics or regard for system in example, when to get a respite Physics. a from Closely allied the effort to concentrate the is powers of the mind upon the subject in hand.

Of course for the study of each branch of learning there will be needed special books of reference bearing directly upon the science to But the habit of freely consulting books of be learned. reference and of collateral reading cannot be too highly recommended. A great deal of what we learn fails of being impressed upon the mind so as to become a permanent part of our mental fibre simply because it is literature, a general history, learned without reference to How its relations to other things. often History and Literature are stripped of all and meaning because thev are not studied in their environment and relation.

The Stentor Hinkey's men went in with a desperate determination to win which could not be resisted. The wind had died away and there was little kicking during the remainder of the game. The heavy plunging of Yale's backs, Thorne, Armstrong and Butterworth especially, secured the single touchdown, from which goal was kicked. The game was a clean one throughout, being entirely free from slugging. Capt. Waters was the only man injured. He had to retire during .the Last half, and thereby caused the Harvard team to loose confidence. The team work of both teams was good.

It was the seventeenth anniversary of the Society, and it was celebrated by a gathering of the alumni with the active members. The program was informal and made up of reminiscent talks by the old fellows, together with an opening address by Harry Goodman and closing remarks by A. O. Jackson. Thei-e talks were all very pleasing and interesting, and intensely so were those of Messrs. Jack, Boggs and V\ ilson.

And so the American law student finds sooner or later that he must familiarize himself with it of the several editions of the classic offered him, that edited by the Hon. Thos. M. Cooley has qualities that cannot be ignored. Judge Cooley gives Blackstone's text complete. He has erased the obsojete and irrevalent notes of earlier commentators, preserving the notes that are valuable to the American. To these he has added a large body of notes bearing on the constitution and laws of the United States, drawn from his long study of American constitutional law; his career as teacher and expounder of the law increased his qualifications for this important task. Besides these notes, he has supplemented the work by several valuable essays, greatly enhancing its value. The first of these makes the leader, in large measure, a student under Judge Cooley. They comprise: "Suggestions for the Study of the Law," "Editor's Review," "Local Government in Great Britain," "British Colonial System," "Local Government in the United States," " Territories of the United States." one THE mentaries. ; These few significant sentences from Judge Cooler's work should be read by every law student: And it happens that while year by year, hundreds of superficial workers are preparing themselves to glean in the fields of legal controversy, the true laborers in that field, the men who are lo reap its substantial harvests, and bear away its tempting prizes, do not spare themselves the labor of acquiiing an intimate acquaintance with the works of this great jurist, nor fail to explore the abundant stores of legal learning to which he gives us such agreeable introduction.

Things which are abolished or obsolete nevertheless, have furnished the reasons for the things which remain; and to study rules while ignoring their reasons would And it is noticeable also, that though be like studying the animal anatomy, while ignoring the principles of life which animated it. in England, where the common law and the statutes mentioned by this author have been so greatly changed by recent legislation, * * in America, where many of these changes have never been made, and where much of the recent English legislation has * no importance, even by way of explanation or illustration, the original work of Blackstone is much the most useful, as presenting us the law in something near the condition in wtdch our ancestors brought it to America, leaving us to trace in our statutes and decisions its subsequent changes here, unembarrassed by irrevalent information about parliamentary legislation which in no way concerns us law, can we, with may COOLEY'S BLACKSTONE.
