Wherever you think it necessary for definite rules to be tabulated to guide teachers in their dealings with students I wish you to make such rules. In doing this it is most important that you bear in mind our peculiar condition, in the class of teachers required for combining mental and industrial work, the scattered condition of some of the teachers, and also the fact that a number live family lives and a larger proportion are apt to be In their own houses in the future. In this connection I wish you to give me the names of any teachers who in your judgement have not so far complied with the requirements mentioned in the enclosed pamphlet. Respectfully B. T.
