The book: ” The wish to accomplish something outside their formal program is common to all men who in the course of evolution have risen past a certain level. Until an effort is made to satisfy that wish, the sense of uneasy waiting for something to start which has not started will remain to disturb the peace of the soul. That wish has been called by many names. It is one form of the universal desire for knowledge.” Every man who longs for leisure in which to pursue some study or work “on the side ” will read with keen relish the little book from which the foregoing passage is taken—How to Live on Twenty-Four Hours a Day, by Arnold Bennett, the English novelist. The writer shows the man from Missouri how the thing is done. With due allowances for English character and environment, Mr. Bennett’s plan is good, and it is particularly good reading.
