Boys, be Systematic.

No great work was ever accomplished without system. Did you ever stop to consider how ranch time is lost in this world for lack of system? A housekeeper will for lack of system fool away the morning hours and dinner time comes before the breakfast dishes are washed, simply because half a dozen things are under way at the same time, and no one thing accomplished. You sometimes ask a young man whom you know ought to have plenty of leisure, vijxy he did not do such and such a thing, only to be answered: “I didn’t have time.” Wby did he not have time ? He was idling with a flaw friends, may15©, telling stfirie* .c>r what may Be worse, doing nothing, and before he is aware of it his spare time was up—it had been wasted. You have no idea how much work can be accomplished in a day if there is only system and application. A few moments work at a certain time each day on some special object will accomplish that object before the worker is fairly aware of it, and at the same time will not interfere with the regular duties of the hour. Every moment is precious and under some systematic* plan can be utilized for business ot pleasure. The merchant who does business in a slip-shod way is not the man who succeeds. The mechanic who only works to kill time and lacks system in what Ije does is the one who always plods along in the same old rut. No matter how hard may be your work it can be made much easier by taking advantage of every minute of time and systemizing your operations according to the time yon have and the work on hand. Yon can’t let up on a job begun without danger of complicating affairs and increasing yonr work. You can’t attend to half a dozen different things it the same time without slighting allot them. The only sure plan of success in life is to systemixe yonr every action so, that every move counts toward the object yon would accomplish—Peek's Sun.
