TO THE STUDENT. 



It will be well to read the following suggestions concerning the use 

 of these Guides and the make-up of your note book: 



1. Remember that the drawings are only the means to an end 

 not the end itself so do not hurry over the detailed study of the 

 specimen before you hi order to take up the drawing. 



2. Make your first draft of all but the simplest sketches on scratch 

 paper, so that the instructor may have a chance to offer suggestions, or 

 to make corrections without making erasures hi your note book. 



3. Jot down on scratch paper the results of your observations as they 

 occur to you. If you postpone writing up your notes until you have 

 finished the type many details will have been forgotten or overlooked. 



4. All notes and indexing should be in ink. Use hard pencil only 

 (No. 4 to No. 6) for the drawings. 



5. Number each separate sheet of drawing paper (plate) with a 

 Roman numeral. Use the Arabic numerals for the several figures 

 on a plate and the small letters of the alphabet for the detail of each 

 figure. Mark off a border three-fourths of an inch wide on the per- 

 forated side and one-half inch wide on the other margins of the plate. 



6. Do not write any words on the drawing sheet, but explain details 

 of drawings on a sheet of note paper facing the plate. 



7. In the make-up of your note book put first the printed sheets 

 on the particular type, then your notes on the same, and finally the 

 drawings. Do not write any notes on the side of the index sheet facing 

 the plate. Printed notes on types not taken up in your course may 

 be placed in the last part of the completed note book. 



8. Thirty-five to fifty sheets of note paper and about the same 

 number of sheets of drawing paper will be required for the course 

 based on these printed Guides. Any local printer can usually cut and 

 perforate the paper to fit these covers. Unruled note paper is pre- 

 ferable. A border, similar to that on the plates, will look well on the 

 note paper.
