Time of Reading In high school room, 12:05 Noon - Eastern Standard Time. ..., Texas. (Questions)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, with those conditions as surround same. Ready for questions.
2. (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.
3. (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.
4. (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.
5. (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.
6. (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.
