"Fortifications" 502 By Mary Eleanor Kramer 504 507 *** W HAT you do with your leisure determines more than anything else the sort of person you are and the sort of person you are becoming. Your work and your workmates may be forced upon you, but you alone dispose of your leisure and determine its occupation and its companions. Through books you can call up the ablest spirits, the gentlest poets, the most learned philosophers, the wisest counselors, the greatest generals, and make them serviceable to you. Do not neglect these noble friendships. If you come home from work too tired for deep thinking there is still a wide field in the modern novel which, in its true sense, presents the big questions of the present and past in more attractive, restful form than the purely historical, scientific or philosophical essay. Demand the strong, clean book that will communicate its virtue to you, the calm, serious book that will pass on its fine tranquility to you, the highhearted book that will shed its courage upon your life, the light-hearted book that will send you merry on your way. Thus you will have at hand everready friends for whatever mood you may be in who will not impose upon you or force their way into your society, but who will always be ready with a message of helpfulness and cheer.
