Conservation and Preparation

By C. C. Lewis

CONSERVATION and preparation are the two watchwords of the present age. The Fireside Correspondence School stands for both of these principles. In the matter of conservation we desire to save the crumbs from the educational table—those students who can by no means make their way to our regular schools, or who have stray subjects to make up in order to finish their courses of study. In preparedness we aim to give our missionaries, ministers, teachers, parents, canvassers, and other workers that preparation for their work which may have been neglected in their youth, overlooked in their school days, or suggested by their experience in the active duties of life.
In carrying out these principles, we strive to get in no one's way, crowd no one from his lawful position, and tread on no one's toes as we pursue our way. We do not knowingly receive for enrolment any person who is in attendance upon one of our other schools, except with the consent of the faculty of that school. We constantly encourage our students to attend our colleges and academies when they can possibly do so. We give careful attention to every complaint, grievance, and misunderstanding, adjusting each in the spirit of fairness, justice, and liberality. We extend the time of students without cost when their requests are accompanied with good reasons. We transfer scholarships to other persons and to other subjects. In short, we take a personal interest in all our students, kindly and faithfully pointing out their errors, bearing patiently with their blunders, and striving in all things to perform our work as unto the Lord.
On this basis we crave the continued support and coöperation of our workers and of our people everywhere. Please call the attention of those who cannot attend our regular schools to the work of the Fireside Correspondence School, and ask them to send for our descriptive booklet. On September 10 our enrolment of new students for 1916 was 200, as against 116 on the same day last year. Help us to make this the banner year in the history of the school.
