Book Description
Excerpt from Manual for Senior Classes, 1915-16: Subject: Conditions of Success You are among the most important Officers in the M. I. A. Work. Whether the class work - and this is the nucleus about which all the other activities are grouped - is a success or fail ure, depends largely upon you. As you glance over the Man ual, you will notice that the arrangement Of material is a little different from former manuals. The questions and problems are scattered through the lesson SO that they may be discussed along with the subject matter to which they are related. The answers and solutions are not evident at a glance, but require careful thinking, using life's experience as a guide. Some addi tional reading will be required, in some instances, as the facts of history to which the reader is referred will perhaps be um familiar to some Of the young men. TO assist the teacher, an asterisk has been placed at such places where this might occur. It is not an uncommon practice in assigning lessons to say, John, you will take the lesson from the beginning to line page 2; Henry, kindly take from there to the middle of page 4; and Richard, you finish the lesson. John, Henry, and Rich ard each makes a pencil mark in his Manual, and during the preliminary program Of the next meeting hastily glances over his part and then presents it to the meeting, reading from the Manual most Of the time. At the conclusion Of each presenta tion, the class leader asks if there are any questions. A few members who have been asleep begin to arouse themselves, but before they are fully awake, he remarks: If there is no further discussion, we proceed to the next topic. Often the class leader has not even read the lesson which he is assigning. By such procedure, the members will get more benefit than by not attending meeting at all, but by a little thought and energetic work, one may get very much better results. DO not be afraid to spend an hour or two each week to become thoroughly familiar with the subject matter, and to be able to make intelligent assignments.
