186 PLANT BIOLOGY 



suggested that the paragraph titles used in the labora- 

 tory studies be employed and that they be underlined (e.g. 

 Parts of a Leaf). 



9. Make sure that your statements in each paragraph or in 

 your notes are sufficiently full and clear to be readily 

 intelligible to one who knows nothing of the subject. 



10. In your compositions or notes be careful to make clear what 



you yourself did, what you saw, what you heard, and what 

 you read. Accounts of experiments may often be written 

 in four paragraphs as follows: object of experiment; 

 preparation of experiment ; result of experiment ; con- 

 clusion from experiment. 



11. If, on account of absence, it is necessary that work be copied, 



inclose such account in quotation marks, and write at 

 the end of such quotation the name of the pupil from 

 whom the account was copied. 



12. Every correction indicated by the teacher should be made by 



the student as soon as the note-book is returned. 



13. Every student who wishes to do so can produce a first class 



note-book, neat in appearance, and at least relatively 

 free from mistakes in spelling, punctuation, and grammar.
