NAILING IT FAST
Once when I was a schoolgirl, a visitor said something in a speech he made to us which I shall never forget, -j' Suppose/ lie said, 'you were building a house, and instead of putting the shingles and weatherboards on with nails, you fasten them in. place with tacks. It would be a foolish way, would it not? For the first* high wind would send them flying off in all directions. ' None of you would do so silly a thing as that, lam sure; But how are you doing your school work day by day? Are you just tacking the lessons on so they will stay long- enough for the recitation, and then drop off your memory P Or are you nailing them fast, so that they will stay on for life and become a good sound part of your education?'
