Professor L. L. Dantzler of the De
partment of English talked to the stu
dents in chapel Inst Snturday on "How
to Study."
Many students do not know
how to study, the speaker said. Some
students studied in a way which is not
best for them. He said that there are
still some students who depended upon
the system of rote to memorize their
lessons nnd in consequence easily for
got that which
they have learned.
"Every act that we perform, every thing
that wc learn makes an indelible impression upon our mind nnd that the
only renson that wc arc not able to recall
the things we learn is that we did not
think sufficient length of time to impress the things we learn deep in our
memory." Professor Dantzler told of one
man who had looked up a certain word in
the dictionary hundreds of time but that
he was never sure as to haw it should be
spelled.
The reason for this said Professor Dantzler is that before the word
had time to be impressed upon the mind,
the man had allowed his thoughts to
wander from the subject.
Professor Dantzler expressed his willingness to help anyone who thought he
did not know how to study, to find th
best mode in which that student should
apply himself.

SKETCH COUNTRIES

Life in Brazil, Peru and
Bulgaria Is Described at
Y. M. C. A. Meeting
.

The program given at the meeting of
Y. M. C. A. last Sunday evening was
an exceedingly interesting one. Threo
foreign students in the University gave
a brief sketch of life and education in
their own countries.
A. F. Viannn, Brazil, illustrated his
talk with actual photographs showing
some of the engineering features, athletic
fields and principal buildings and streets
in Rio de Janeiro! He described each
picture carefully and also displayed the
flag of Brazil.
At the conclusion he
gave an interesting outline of the educational system in Brazil.
T. C. Mnndu Jama told about his country, Peru. He said it is exceedingly
mountainous and there nro many minerals there. At one time eight million
Indians lived In Peru but now there are
only about two million and the entire
population of the country numbers about
six million. Their school system is different from ours. After high school 'it
takes nine years to complete a medical
course, and six years for engineering and
law.
Christ Stamatoff gave a history of
Bulgaria from its origin in 079. Ho

conditions in the country. Bulgaria has
Universities like ours nnd in this way
it differs from most of the other countries as they nearly all have separate
