<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;">Q.1: According to the author there are some boys who fail because they do not try. Who are they? Can we help them?</span></div>
<div id="HEADING" style="font-family: 'TIMES NEW ROMAN'; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1px; margin-left: 114px; margin-right: 114px; margin-top: 1px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Ans: The boys who do not try are those who are diverted from their studies. They indulge in unnecessary things like sharpening pencils. Some boys do not study because they dislike the subjects chosen for them. Those who have always passed without much effort, also do not try to exert fully. So far as I (Herbert E. Hawkes) can see cannot be eradicated by anyone but the boy himself. Others can see the difficulty, but the boy must take himself by the collar and take himself cultivate a poise and calm that smothers the fidgets.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;">Q.2: How does mistaken ambition on the part of boys and their parents lead to the failure of the boys?</span></div>
<div id="HEADING" style="font-family: 'TIMES NEW ROMAN'; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1px; margin-left: 114px; margin-right: 114px; margin-top: 1px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Ans:Herbert E. Hawkes says " I find a boy who is not showing any interest in his work, and who is not trying to do it with any distinction, because he is following a direction, mapped out by his parents, that runs counter to all of his interests and abilities. As well argued with a person that he ought to like onions when he detests them. If such a boy fails, it is because he cannot bring himself to try to do the work that is distasteful to him, and that he feels is leading him in the wrong direction.</span></div>
<div id="HEADING" style="font-family: 'TIMES NEW ROMAN'; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1px; margin-left: 114px; margin-right: 114px; margin-top: 1px;">

<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;">Q.3: There are some boys who have done well at school but fail to make their mark at college. Who are they? Do you have such boys in college in your country?</span></div>
<div id="HEADING" style="font-family: 'TIMES NEW ROMAN'; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1px; margin-left: 114px; margin-right: 114px; margin-top: 1px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Ans: Another type of boy who does not try is the very bright boy who has always done his school work without effort, and who has never learned what real application is. He supposes that he can float through college with as little effort as he did through school. It is a category of the students that is found everywhere in the world.No doubt such boys are found in colleges of our country in great number.</span></div>
<div id="HEADING" style="font-family: 'TIMES NEW ROMAN'; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1px; margin-left: 114px; margin-right: 114px; margin-top: 1px;">

<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="HEADING" style="font-family: 'TIMES NEW ROMAN'; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1px; margin-left: 114px; margin-right: 114px; margin-top: 1px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;">Q.4: How does financial pressure lead to the failure of students described in the lesson? Do you have similar cases in your country?</span></div>
<div id="HEADING" style="font-family: 'TIMES NEW ROMAN'; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1px; margin-left: 114px; margin-right: 114px; margin-top: 1px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Ans: Nowadays, when most ambitious boys want to go to college, the financial pressure is a very serious one. Not only does he get a mighty poor living by the process but a mighty poor education as well. And it is always to the detriment of their health, or the value of their education ,or both. The boy did not ask his parents to bring him into the world. They are responsible for his being here, and consequently they have the responsibility for giving him the best equipment possible to meet the world's problems. Yes, this curse is present all around the world.</span></div>
<div id="HEADING" style="font-family: 'TIMES NEW ROMAN'; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1px; margin-left: 114px; margin-right: 114px; margin-top: 1px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="HEADING" style="font-family: 'TIMES NEW ROMAN'; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1px; margin-left: 114px; margin-right: 114px; margin-top: 1px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;">Q.5: To what extent does the question of health lead to failure at college? How far can the college authorities with their medical officers help students in such cases?</span></div>
<div id="HEADING" style="font-family: 'TIMES NEW ROMAN'; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1px; margin-left: 114px; margin-right: 114px; margin-top: 1px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Ans: Physical and mental health play a significant role in the career of a student. A student who is suffering from a disease is not fit to pursue his studies. He is unable to do any intense mental labour in terms of his studies. So, the role of poor health cannot be overlooked, for its is very crucial in the performance of a student.</span></div>
<div id="HEADING" style="font-family: 'TIMES NEW ROMAN'; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1px; margin-left: 114px; margin-right: 114px; margin-top: 1px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">In the case of poor academic work, the reason for which is not apparent, it is my (Herbert E. Hawkes) custom always to ask the student to undergo a thorough physical examination. It is surprising to find out in how large percentage of such cases the university physician finds an adequate reason for the difficulty. Tuberculosis, bad tonsils, sleeping sickness, poor digestion, various forms of mental and nervous difficulty have been brought to light by the doctor during the past few months, to the unspeakable relief of the student and enlightenment of the faculty.</span></div>
<div id="HEADING" style="font-family: 'TIMES NEW ROMAN'; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1px; margin-left: 114px; margin-right: 114px; margin-top: 1px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">If an adequate health service is available in the college, and if proper cooperation exists between the teaching staff and the office of the college doctor, an immense number of failures can be avoided.</span></div>
<div id="HEADING" style="font-family: 'TIMES NEW ROMAN'; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1px; margin-left: 114px; margin-right: 114px; margin-top: 1px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="HEADING" style="font-family: 'TIMES NEW ROMAN'; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1px; margin-left: 114px; margin-right: 114px; margin-top: 1px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;">Q.6: What place would you accord to sportsmen in colleges?</span></div>
<div id="HEADING" style="font-family: 'TIMES NEW ROMAN'; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1px; margin-left: 114px; margin-right: 114px; margin-top: 1px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Ans: Herbert E. Hawkes reckons sports and co-curricular activities as important features of college life. But he ranks them second to education. Therefore, over-attention to such things proves harmful. If a boy is too much interested in these side shows he ought to get out of the main tent and become professional.</span></div>
<div id="HEADING" style="font-family: 'TIMES NEW ROMAN'; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1px; margin-left: 114px; margin-right: 114px; margin-top: 1px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;">Q.7: There are some students who join college for the fun of it. Should they be allowed to stay?</span></div>
<div id="HEADING" style="margin-bottom: 1px; margin-left: 114px; margin-right: 114px; margin-top: 1px;">
<div style="font-family: 'TIMES NEW ROMAN'; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.4;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Ans: A few lazy bluffers drift into college and usually drift out again. It is usually wise to let them retire to the cold world for a reason and find out by experience how much demand there is for a lazy bluffer. Sometimes they learn their lesson and return to do first rate work.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;">Q.1: What was David Daiches' attitude towards the week-end as a school boy? Why did he long for it?</span></div>
<div id="HEADING" style="font-family: 'TIMES NEW ROMAN'; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1px; margin-left: 114px; margin-right: 114px; margin-top: 1px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Ans: His attitude towards the week-end is being reflected through his statement "Friday morning was positively rose-coloured. The last 'period' on a friday whatever the subject was had its special happy flavour of the end of the week, and one walked home from school with the tread of an escaped prisoner." The daily grind of school, with its abundant home work, its fierce competiti</span><span style="background-color: black; color: white; line-height: 1.4;">on, the sense of never being able to relax pressed heavily upon him inspite of the fact that he often enjoyed the actual classroom work.

Waking up in the morning with the knowledge that one simply had to get out of the bed, that there was no possibility for turning over for an extra doze, and seeing the hours of school stretching ahead, was a dismal experience, especially on a Monday. He had a maid once who would climb each morning with grim steps up to the attic floor, and announce in deep, funeral tones: "Lionel, David, Sylvia-time!". I used to lie waiting for that ominous tread on the uncarpeted attic stairs, and the voice it heralded sounded in my ears like a summons to damnation.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Ans: It was a period of permanent felicity. He would walk home across the Meadows in the July sunshine, wearing his summer school clothes of grey cricket shirt, grey shorts, and red Wetson's blazer and savour his happinesss with conscious relish.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="background-color: black;">Q.5: Wishes don't come true in this life, writes Daiches. What are the things he longed for but could not have?</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Ans: All his early childhood he longed desperately for a tricycle, which his parents could never afford, and later the wish was transferred to a bicycle, and there, too he was permanently disappointed. (He bought his first bicycle for himself when he was twenty-one with prize money he had won at Edinburgh University). How often had he stood outside sweet shops with empty pockets longing for a penny or two to materialize somehow or hung on the outskirts of a crowd around an ice-cream barrow wondering whether the ice-cream man would be miraculously inspired to offer him a 'cornet' or a 'slider' free. These things never happened. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;">Q.1: How has the scientific method helped us in our fight against disease?</span></div>
</div>
<div id="HEADING" style="font-family: 'TIMES NEW ROMAN'; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1px; margin-left: 114px; margin-right: 114px; margin-top: 1px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Ans: If you had been born two hundred years ago, about seven out of eight babies died before reaching their first birthday. Today babies are born in the hospitals where there is less likelihood of their getting a disease. Young people are treated to protect them against smallpox, diphtheria, and typhoid fever. Today a person can expect to live to be almost seventy years old. In other words, more than thirty years have been added to the expected length of man's life. These changes have been made possible by use of the scientific method to solve such problems as the cause of disease and its prevention.</span></div>
<div id="HEADING" style="font-family: 'TIMES NEW ROMAN'; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1px; margin-left: 114px; margin-right: 114px; margin-top: 1px; text-align: left;">

<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;">Q.2: Write a note on the better sanitary conditions available in our cities today and compare them with what they were like a hundred years ago.</span></div>
<div id="HEADING" style="font-family: 'TIMES NEW ROMAN'; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1px; margin-left: 114px; margin-right: 114px; margin-top: 1px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Ans: Into the narrow, unpaved and badly drained streets, household garbage and other refuse was thrown. Animals wandered through the streets, feeding upon the garbage. Outdoor toilets were common, many of them situated where human wastes drained into wells from which people obtained drinking water.</span></div>
<div id="HEADING" style="font-family: 'TIMES NEW ROMAN'; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1px; margin-left: 114px; margin-right: 114px; margin-top: 1px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Today our city streets are paved and well drained, and they are cleaned regularly. It is against the law to throw garbage in the streets. Sewage from all sections of a city is carried through sealed pipes to disposal plants. Through the use of the scientific method it has been demonstrated that unsanitary conditions cause the spread of disease like typhoid fever, cholera and dysentery. Today most city governments have departments of sanitation which keep the cities clean and thereby prevent the spread of certain disease.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;">Q.3: What are the sanitary conditions like in our villages today and how would you improve them?</span></div>
<div id="HEADING" style="font-family: 'TIMES NEW ROMAN'; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1px; margin-left: 114px; margin-right: 114px; margin-top: 1px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Ans: The sanitary conditions in our villages are better than before. Still they must be improved. Proper sewage system, supply of sufficient water to the villages and awareness given to the people can improve the sanitary conditions of villages.</span></div>
<div id="HEADING" style="font-family: 'TIMES NEW ROMAN'; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1px; margin-left: 114px; margin-right: 114px; margin-top: 1px; text-align: left;">

<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;">Q.4: How has the scientific method helped us in the production and preservation of foods?</span></div>
<div id="HEADING" style="font-family: 'TIMES NEW ROMAN'; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1px; margin-left: 114px; margin-right: 114px; margin-top: 1px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Ans: Since fresh vegetables could be obtained only during the growing season, people living in cold climates had none during the winter months. Thrifty housewives preserved their home grown vegetables and fruits by canning, pickling, or drying them for use during the cold weather. Meats were preserved by salting and dring or by freezing when the weather was cold enough. Seafoods were generally available only along the coast, fish and shell-fish could be eaten soon after they were caught.</span></div>
<div id="HEADING" style="font-family: 'TIMES NEW ROMAN'; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1px; margin-left: 114px; margin-right: 114px; margin-top: 1px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Regardless of where people live today, they can obtain some fresh fruits, meats and vegetables throughout the year. By the quick-freeze method, vegetables, fruits, seafoods, and meats of various kinds can be preserved so that they are both nutritious and enjoyable. Modern methods of selecting, grading, and processing foods have removed the risk or danger of poisoning from canned food, dehydration, or the removal of water from such foods as milk, eggs, potatoes, and apples, have probed practical method of preservation.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;">Q.5: We are now generally less fearful than our ancestors. What were our ancestors afraid of?</span></div>
<div id="HEADING" style="font-family: 'TIMES NEW ROMAN'; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1px; margin-left: 114px; margin-right: 114px; margin-top: 1px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Ans: Many happenings of life puzzled our ancestors. They could neither understand nor remedy them. So they became fearful. Science has explained that all that happens has some reasons behind it. This reasoning has lessened our fears.</span></div>
<div id="HEADING" style="font-family: 'TIMES NEW ROMAN'; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1px; margin-left: 114px; margin-right: 114px; margin-top: 1px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: blue;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="HEADING" style="font-family: 'TIMES NEW ROMAN'; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1px; margin-left: 114px; margin-right: 114px; margin-top: 1px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;">Q.6: How has the scientific method enabled us to get over the old fears?</span></div>
<div id="HEADING" style="font-family: 'TIMES NEW ROMAN'; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1px; margin-left: 114px; margin-right: 114px; margin-top: 1px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Ans: <span style="line-height: 1.4;">Superstitious beliefs are being overcome by the use of scientific method to demonstrate that there is no sound basis for them. Few people today believe that diseases are caused by evil spirits. Though astrology and fortune telling is being practised, they did not influence the lives of as many people as they once did. It has been learnt that there is a always a good natural reason for everything that happens to the people. As a result, most people no longer fear black cats, broken mirrors, and the number 13.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; line-height: 1.4;">By the scientific method, ideas are not necessarily true because they have been believed true for a long time. Ideas must now be supported by facts in order to be accepted to the scientist or to people who use the scientific method.</span></div>
<div id="HEADING" style="font-family: 'TIMES NEW ROMAN'; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1px; margin-left: 114px; margin-right: 114px; margin-top: 1px; text-align: left;">

<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;">Q.7: What part did astrology play in the lives of men and women in the past? Give examples.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Ans: If a person believes that wearing some kind of charm will prevent him from having bad luck, he will wear the charm and will feel uncomfortable without it. Feelings which involve fears such as this are called superstitions. Superstitious people believe in the sign of good or bad luck, and their lives are greatly influenced by such signs.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;">Q.8: Describe some of the superstitions still current in our country. How do they affect the lives of those who believe in them?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Ans: Some people believe in palmistry and astrology. Businessmen believe that the first customer would determine the state of their business of the whole day. People prefer to begin important tasks on special days. Some people have specified certain days for travelling in certain directions.</span><br />
