How To Study
Some of my advice on studying, inspired in part by How to study, by George Fillmore Swain, 1917.
How To Write
An essay by Edward Everett Hale in Our Young Folks. An Illustrated Magazine for Boys and Girls, 1869.
How To Read
Another essay by Edward Everett Hale. This essay came in two parts, from Our Young Folks. An Illustrated Magazine for Boys and Girls, 1869. The first is more "what to read"; the second is truly "how to read". It starts with two illustrations of the fruits of reading poorly - knowing that you'd read something, but having no idea of what it was.
How To Talk
Another essay by Edward Everett Hale, also in two parts. From Our Young Folks. An Illustrated Magazine for Boys and Girls, 1869. Value others' time and attention, and what they may teach you.
How To Go Into Society
Another essay by Edward Everett Hale. From Our Young Folks. An Illustrated Magazine for Boys and Girls, 1869. Interacting socially has value to you, to others, and to society.
Lessons From A Knot
In August 2023, I drafted a little essay about order, chaos, and making progress toward your goal.
