he is following those rules.
This is wrong The boy
should be taught the reason
for using certain hours for
certain work and as a result
his subconscious mind be
corues imbued with the habit
of being methodical and as
he become j methodical in

methodical in others but if
his studying seems forced on

be that this will follow him

Every boy should begin
