LORD RIDDELL SAYS—

"Practice Is the best of all instructor*.-

"A man may be so sharp that he cuts himself." "If a speaker has got very little In his head, he can get very little out of it"

"A keen interest In what is going on around us is one of the best aids to happiness." "English people are not fond of verse. They regard the reading of it as a waste of time."

"Observation, concentration, and me* mory are closely allied. Interest is the basis of all three." "Good habits have theh* dancers . . . Habits have no eyes. They do not see the dangers ahead." "Do not read too much fiction. If you contract the fiction habit, you will rarely read anything else." "First perfect yourself as a ruler of hundreds, and you can then pro* mote yourself to be a ruler of thousands."

"People will credit anonymous state* ments in print which they would not believe if made verbally by people whom they know." "A conjurer's audience knows that he will attempt to divert their attention when producing the rabbit, but it allows itself to.be deceived, nevertheless." "The brain is like a photographic plate. If there is a suitable light. It vividly records. If the light is dim or from the wrong angle, the result is an imperfect picture." "A girl clerk, without effort and without conscious cerebration, as It is called, will tell you exactly what clothes were worn by other women whom she met at a social function* but the same girl will fall to notice important matters affecting her duty." "Customs . . . are valuable, as they help to steady the world, but they have their dangers. A community «n----auly shackled by custom makes no progress; the revolutions are often caused by the failure of one class to recognise the necessity for changes due to the aspirations of the other classes."
