Economy. ( Education)
"But", says one, " you do not mean that the students should go to work with thier hands instead thier heads?" I do not mean that exactly, but I mean something which he might think a good deal like that; I mean that they shoul not play life, or study it merely, while the community supports them at this expensive game, but earnestky live it from beginning to end. ... Which would have advanced the most at the end of a month, - the boy who had made his own jack-knife from the ore which he had dug and smelted, reading as much as would necessary for this, - or the boy who had attended the lecture on metallurgy at the Institute in the mean while, and had received a Rodgers' penknife from his father? ... To my astonishment i was informed on leaving college that I had studied navigation! - why, if I had taken one turn down the habour I should have known more about it. Even the poor student studies and is taught only political economy, while that economy of leaving which is synonymous with philosophy is not even sincerely professed in our colleges. The consequence is, that while he is reading Adam Smith, Ricardo, and Say, he runs his father in debt irretrievably.
Economy. ( Food)
I learned from my two years' experience thet it would cost incredibly little trouble to obtain one's necessary food, ... ; that a man may use as simple diet as the animals, and yet retain health ans strength.
Economy. ( Travel)
One says to me , "I wonder that you do not lay up money; you love to travel; you might take the cars and go to Fitchburg to-dayand see the country." But I am wiser than that. I have learned that the swiftest traveller is he that goes afoot. I say to my friend, Suppose we try who will get there first. the distance is thirty miles; the fare ninety cents. That is almost a day's wages. ... Well, I start now on foot, and get there before night; I have travelled at that rate by theweek together. You will in the mean while have earned your fare, and arrive there some time to-morrow, or possibly this evening, if you are lucky enough to get a job in season. Instead of going to Fitchburg, you will be working here the greater part of the day.
