SPARE MOMENT POSSIBILITIES
"Dost thou love life? Then do not
squander time for that is the stuff
life is made of."
These words of Franklin's are as
true today as the day they were
written, coming from a master in the
art of transmuting time into either
wealtb or wisdom. There are time
wasters here on the campus as well
as in every other place inhabited by
man. Time is money. We should
not be stingy with it, neither should ;
we throw an hour away Just as we
would not throw a dollar bill away.
Waste of time means waste of en
ergy, waste of vitality, waste of op
portunities, which will never come
back. Let us beware how we kill
time for our future lives in it.
On the floor of the gold-working
room in the United States mint at;
Philadelphia there is a wooden lat-:
tice-work which is taken up when
the floor is swept, and the small
particles of gold' dust are thus saved.
Every successful student has a kind
of network to catch those leavings
of clays and wee bits of hours which
most people sweep into tlie waste of
life. The student who turns to ac
count all odd minutes before and
After meals, the gaps between times
while waiting for bells and waiting
for unpunctual people, achieve re
sults which astonish those who have
not mastered this most valuable se
cret.
The days come to us like friends
in disguise, bringing priceless gifts
from an unseen hand, but, IT we do
not use them, they are borne silent
ly away never to return. Each morn
ing new gifts are brought, but un
less those which were brought yes
terday were put to good account, the
ability to utilize and appreciate them
is exhausted.
It is a common occurrence to hear
"Oh, it's only five or ten minutes
till the bell; there's no time to do
anything now." These very minutes
which we are wasting, if utilized
might bring success to our now un
successful lives. We read instance
after instance where the success of
a man is due to his utilization of
spare moments. flarriet Beecher
Stowe wrote "Uncle Tom's Cabin" in
the midst of pressing household
cares. Watt learned chemistry and
mathematics while working at his
trade.
To know of such lives is an in- j
spiration. To live such a life is to !
achieve success.
Every person should have a hob- j
by to occupy his leisure hours,
something useful to which he can
turn with delight. It may be in the
line of his work or otherwise. What
ever it is his heart must be in it. By
its means many idle hours may be
put to account, giving the individual
a broader, fuller character and out
look on life. It is not the person
who has least to do who has most
leisure moments, it is the person who
has his work systematized.
The present time is the raw ma
terial out of which to make what
ever we will. There is small use to
brood over the past or dream of the
future, but seize this instant. Get j
your lesson from it. The person is
yet unborn who rightly values the
possibilities of an hour. A second
moment is given only after the first
has been withdrawn.
What are you as a student doing
with your spare moments? The
question must be answered by each j
individual for himself.
