As I have not brought up this subject before, I presume that there are a great many which can be arranged better than they are.

Will you all now look into your desks, and see whether you consider them in good order?
Stop a moment, however.

Let me tell you what good order is.

All those things which are alike should be arranged together.

Books should be in one place, papers in another, and thus every thing should be classified.
Again, every thing should be so placed that it can be taken out without disturbing other things.
