Learn To Do By Doing It is ;i sound principle of teaching teach-ing that we must learn to do by doniK- No one ever did or will require re-quire skill in record keeping and .nenealoRical research except by actual working at Tnem. The whole purpose of the - present course, of genealogical lessons is to train our church members by giving them practical work to do, which if followed, wfTl school them and make them proficient in the great work before them. Experienced Experi-enced workers are needed in every ward; trained as leaders to pave I he way V" are aware that the lessons appear dififcult to the untrained uiind. but they are not impossible. They can all be worked out, with a little assistance, "and with effort ami perserverance. May we urgje upon the class leaders that they are prepared, in every detail, for without thorough preparation and familiarity with the subject in hand, it is impossible impos-sible o put the lesson over. With the text book before you, and at every leisure moment you have( take a piece of paper and a pencil and work the problem over, so it will all appear clear to your mind. Kviy teacher who stands before, 01 who comes to a class unprepared, unpre-pared, will, and have, experienced a leeling of embarrassment, that is not very pleasant. I'owell Buxton says, "The longer- I live, the more deeply am I convinced that that which makes the difference between one man and another between the weak and the powerful, the grat and the insignificant is energy invincible determination -a purpose once lormed, and then ueath or vict or. C. V. H. i i Building Up Attendance Here is a suggestion to increase the attendance at classes. Place some one in charge "o this responsibility re-sponsibility and let hint assign to class members thertiuty of inviting invit-ing certain individuals and bringing bring-ing them to the class next time. But be sure that tne lesson is attractively at-tractively prepared,- .qt yam. wUl fail. It is fitting and proper that the Viishop and his counselors should be in attendance at these classes. They direct the work in the ward arid can best appreciate what is being done at; these classes if they are there. There is a strength that comes from having presiding ot ficers at these gatherings. Genealogy Work Brings Thrills Nothing could be more fascinating, fascinat-ing, more interesting or more valuable to young or old than to unravel the mystery surrounding their ancestry. When such work is engaged in whether it be for the compilation of a "Book of Remembrance' Remem-brance' or for genealogical or temple, work, new thrills are experienced ex-perienced almost daily, with the discovery of a new progenitor; the reading or , hearing of an incident in the life of an ancestor or of a historical event in which one of our forefathers participated. Perhaps we are descended from royalty. Perhaps we have a strain or- two of some nationality within with-in we know nothing about and it would be of interest to us to learn. P.e interested, work hard, and your thrills will increase. Preparation Of Temple Sheets (Continued from last week) 'Zii. Scandinavian Names. In Scandinavian work the reversal of the name from father to child must correspond, or be underlined to indicate thai a difference in spelling, or a different name, is correct. For uniformity in temple records, Scandinavian female names ending "datter" or "dotter" must be adjusted "sen" or "son" lor ordinance work; for example, Hilda Larsdottcr-should be Hilda Larsson. 27. II.LJUITIMATK. When an illigitimate child takes the mother's moth-er's surname, an abbreviation should be written in brackets thus (illeg.) above its name. , 28. Parents' Names. When possible, pos-sible, give the name of the father j I and the maiden name of the moth-I moth-I er, but give their names only, no ! dates. When children of the same parents are given on one sheet this may be indicated, after the parents' par-ents' names are given once, by writing the w,ords "Same Parents" Par-ents" (not ditto marks) for the brothers or sisters following. If parents are not known, but children chil-dren are, write the words "Children "Chil-dren known" in tne place provided for parents' names fnot the number num-ber of children and not their names. ) 29. Husband and Wife. When possible give the name of the husband hus-band or the maiden name of the wife for each individual, as called for on the blank. 30. Widows should have name of first husband shown, if possible. Names of other husbands may be added. (See paragraph No. 58.) 31. Birth Date. Give the exact birthdate for each person, if possible. pos-sible. If exact date is not obtainable obtain-able the year of birth may be approximated ap-proximated as follows: If the birth or christening date of the oldest child is known, for example, the third of June. 1812, estimate that the father was born about 26 years earlier or about 1786 placing plac-ing this date in the "born " column col-umn thus "abt. 1786." Similarly allow 22 years for the mother. When not known that it is the old est child for whom you have a birth date count back 32 for the approximate year of birth for the father and 28 years for the mother. If approximating from a marriage date count vack 25 years for the husband and 21 years for the wife. (These approximations approxima-tions are based on actual tests.) 32. Basis of Approximation. If the birth date of an individual is approximated state the date from which it is approximated in the "died" column such as "first child born third June, 1812." (To Be Continued) j German Schools Compel Research BY" C. TAYLOR BURTON The Prussian minister of public affairs has issued tha following mandate that will introduce very definite changes in the make-up of public school instruction: "No male or female student shall be able to graduate from one of the institutions of learning without first learning the ground principle of race and family research, heredity hered-ity and race hygiene." 1. in all th graduating classes of all schools, the study of this material is to be tu.teu up immediately. immedi-ately. It is to be introduced, if need be, at the expense of mathematics mathe-matics and foreign languages. 2. Pupils are to be subjected to a thorough examination on this subject at the close of the school year. No individual will be excepted. ex-cepted. 3. The .school commissioners of the different school districts of entire Prussia will be asked to report re-port at the end of the school year as to their activities in regards to introducing tnis course oi siuuy in their schools and to give definite information as to the results of their tests. 4. If tne tests are not satisfactory satis-factory in their completion, the 'minister of public aiiairs has ihe right to cause a repetition of the same until they arc conecuy passed pass-ed by each student. 5.
