of fatigue all the weaker points of thebody and mind tend to come to thesurface It is therefore a matter-of character that we have a surplus I

nervous energy-In times of mental fatigue the high-

er brain centers are the first to giveway The man who is fatigued isnot so able to withstand temptationas the man who has an abundance ofnervous energy in store

I The fagged out man cannot bewhat he ought tobe At times fa-

tigue the man who desires to preserver his character must be doubly on his

guardOther safeguards against evil sug-

gested by the distinguished educatorand writer were

Control of emotion-Diversification of attention from the

Immediate temptation to moral principles
