If you are confronted by a number of tasks that ought
to be done during the day there is one sure way in which
to come to the evening with a clean slate, and that is to
do the harder thing first.
Most of us are disposed to warm up on some easy
! work. We will idly glance through the book before we
! begin to study; we will build castles in the air before we
; put our minds to hard thinking.

unless a few free lances chance to attend and are able to

we might imagine such a thing but we are not going to
do it. Even an editor's imagination has a limit to its
