Excerpt from Talks to Students on the Art of Study
Anyone who is rash enough to add one more to the hundred thousand books and pamphlets that have already been written on the general subject of education ought, perhaps, to give a somewhat elaborate justification for his act. This book must make its own defense for existence. If it does not make good the intention of its author it will go promptly to its long home 'where most of the others already are.
The book is not intended to fill the place of a manual of logic or psychology or pedagogy. There is already a surfeit of such books. It is intended to furnish effective suggestion to the student who is passing through the critical period of his intellectual life, while the mental powers are plastic but on the point of setting. The writer believes that with helpful suggestion, youth can in a measure be its own instructor in the matter of the right training of its powers. The first essential to this end is that it shall see clearly what is wanted.
When the writer was a child, the Indian boys used to come into his native village on pleasant winter days to shoot pennies that idle white men put up on hitching posts for them.
