experimenting with are mounted
on slides, and have to be kept at
the same temperature as that Of
the human body. They are wash

they will never die as long as the
treatment is continued. They
grow just like a fungus, and In
time overrun the slide. There is
no such thing as death as long
as there Is perfect drainage.
Professor Carrel has not yet
been able to unite tissues and
keep them growing. Until this
can be done these fragments will
have no thought. although they
may possess feeling.

apparition.

Tho instructor in the art school
needs to be very closely acquainted
with the student. He can soon
learn tho characteristics of each
student whose lessons he exam
ines, by careful observation. He
should strive to interpret the tenn
permanent of each individual 80 that
be may direct him in the most ef-
fective way. All students cannot
be handled alike.
1.-THE beginning art student needs
guidance and direction far more
than he needs criticism. He needs
very careful attention until he has
acquired enough skill to give con-
fidence in himself. Instead Of
saying don't do this or that, say do
some certain thing. The students
attention is called TO the improve
ment rather than to the mistake.
ct seems to be a fact that the
attention directed to a mistake will
tend to cause that mistake to be
repeated, while on the other hand
the attention called to an improve
ment, or means of improvement,
will lead to Improvement. Only
the advanced student needs ad-
vanced criticism. The beginner
must be encouraged to work
broadly and generally. He must
always be handled with spirit
Of guidance and inspiration.
Everything depends upon the

When the marine corps institute
was organized. in the early part Of
1920, there was much antagonism
by the odd line" marines. In
those days the instructors were
known as the 'Root-te-toot" boys.
The idea of school, and especially
q correspondence school, was ridi-
culed. The ''razz" was given at
every opportunity. The institute
was then located at Quantico, Va.
Glasses were conducted for the
students in the camp. Finally It
was decided that the school could
better serve the corps as a whole
by making 1t entirely a correspond
ence school and letting each post
take care of it's local schools. On
November 10. 1920 the equipment
Of the institute was loaded on a
naval coal barge and transported
UP the Potomac to Washington.
