METHODS Of STUDY. 



It is very important that the student follow from the begin- 

 ning a system of work that will enable him to utilize the experi- 

 ence of those who may have had years of training and have learned 

 the roads to uniformly good results. A few suggestions may not 

 be out of place. 



Care in Observation. 



Avoid making hasty conclusions even though the appearances 

 seem to warrant them. Do not consider as proven a condition that 

 can be seen but once and then under difficulties. In important 

 cases, always verify results by trying the study again with other 

 material so that there can be no doubt as to the exact state of 

 things. Never substitute an opinion or inclination for a fact even 

 though it often involves a disappointment, better that than error. 



Selecting Material. 



Many of the troubles and difficulties in the way of a proper 

 study can be overcome by taking due precaution in the selection 

 and preparation of material. Too often a section is carelessly 

 made with the hopes that it may show something desired, but it is 

 better always to select the material carefully, then section and 

 mount with all the proper precautions. 



Directions for Drawing. 



It is necessary that the student study and thoroughly under- 

 stand the tissue under examination before any attempt is made to 

 reproduce it, otherwise, after the drawing is finished errors in it
