Suggestions.
Those who have not yet learned by
their own experience will be greatly
helped by attending to the following
hints and suggestions:
l. This will be a school and not
course of entertainments and lectures.
Neither can the students of the schools
plan to visit. Provision will be made
for study and instruction, but visiting
classes will be limited to guests of the
school. Therefore come prepared to
study and to do the best school work
you have ever done.
,. Remember your limitations in
personal strength and in time and do
not allow your ambition to load you
with more than you can do. Neither
make the mistake of thinking that a
little of everything will be better than
much of something.
3. No student should take more
than two solid subjects that require
daily preparation. Each instructor
will assign lessons which will require
two hours of work for preparation.
In addition to your major work such
work as drawing, music and methods
may be taken.
+. If the school is of greatest value
to you it will produce the following
results:
(a) You will be interested and de-
lighted with your work. This
will not be if you are overloaded
and 60 home each day tagged
out.
(b) You will feel that you have OBJ
tanned something substantial,
something which will make you
better and stronger teacher;
that you have studied more
deeply into the subjects you
have taken than ever before.
(c) You will have made pleasant
and valuable acquaintance.
(d) You will go back to your school
work with greater enthusiasm
