Somewhat difficult to read. Produced by Juliet Sutherland, Daniel Ray and PG Distributed Proofreaders "How to Use Your Mind" by Harry Dexter Kitson is a manual crafted for students and teachers, published in the early 20th century. The book emphasizes effective study habits and methodologies, primarily targeting the challenges faced by college freshmen as they transition into higher education. Kitson argues that many students struggle not due to a lack of intelligence but because they lack proper techniques for studying and using their minds efficiently. The opening of the text introduces the intellectual challenges that college freshmen typically face, such as adapting to lectures instead of recitations and handling increased academic expectations. Kitson highlights the need for students to cultivate new study habits that enhance their ability to concentrate, retain information, and engage with their studies actively. He stresses that education is as much about forming effective habits as it is about acquiring knowledge. The author also hints at upcoming content focused on methods for improving memory, note-taking strategies, and the psychological basis for effective learning practices, laying the groundwork for a comprehensive exploration of these themes throughout the manual.
