(Q) Why is it difficult for this body to accomplish proper
school work?
(A) To gain an adequate understanding to be beneficial to
the body, there will be the necessity of giving many of those
conditions and elements that surround the body. In the first
material instance, we find there is little attention given
as to the likes or dislikes of the body. There has been
little of the precautions as are necessary to understand
the individual's own individuality, and of the suppression
of ideas and ideals that are being suppressed in the
developing mind of the body.
The conditions, then, are the sum of the misunderstandings
of the body; yet these elements are the more important to the
body. This not that the body, [
1098] is lacking in
abilities, in the power of application. Rather lacking in
the power of concentration in the direction it is being
attempted to be driven in. The body may be persuaded,
reasoned with, but not driven into making the changes in the
desires of the life as will be necessary for the body to
make the complete physical, mental or spiritual success as
is desired of others. Much consideration should be given
the body in the respect that it, the body, has reached that
point where it has its OWN life to live. The controlling
factor as to moulding a life has passed. NOW comes the
period when the life must be directed, and loved, and
controlled through such, in the directions, in the
associations, in the surroundings, that would make OF the
life that as would be worth while to the life.
(Q) What steps should be taken to enable the body to
successfully master his study subjects?
(A) Well that the body be taken close in hand by the father,
and through the associations and relations one with another,
the more perfect understanding be arrived at, and guided by
patience and knowledge.
(Q) What future business career will the body be the most
suited?
(A) That depends a great deal upon the directions as may be
given the body in the next two to three years, though we
find same more in the line of the electrical engineer,
or such a line.
(Q) Will the body make a success in life?
(A) In the directions as are chosen through this
association, we would give that he WOULD be in a great
measure successful.
(Q) Any further advice for this body, or for those guiding
same?
(A) Follow much that is given as between the lines, in that
the body may be loved and controlled by patience, counsel,
and most of all by pattern. We are through.
