LESSON 165.
HOW TO WRITE A THEME.
+I. Choose a Subject+.--Choose your subject long before you are to write.
Avoid a full, round term like _Patriotism_ or _Duty_; take a fragment of
it; as, _How can a Boy be Patriotic?_ or _Duties which we Schoolmates owe
Each Other_. The subject should be on your level, should be interesting and
suggestive to you, and should instantly start in your mind many trains of
thought.
+II. Accumulate the Material+.--Begin to think about your subject. Turn it
over in your mind in leisure moments, and, as thoughts flash upon you, jot
them down in your blank-book. If any of these seem broad enough for the
main points, or heads, indicate this.
