Description

Two adjacent cartoons. Left: a sleeping teacher in a hammock. Right: music studio of F. Smith, with woman and child, man walking in the door with a violin case. Caption: The summer and the early fall are obviously the Get Busy times for all teachers. Most active college presidents know that they dare not be away from their work long during this important time. It is then that the teacher is determining what to do, what to teach, etc. He is keeping his pen busy corresponding with his old pupils and arranging for new pupils. Every hour from the end of June to the opening day of the new teaching season is a golden hour, but the ten or fifteen days in the beginning of September are especially valuable. The really efficient teacher knows pretty definitely just exactly what piece and what study each individual should have at the beginning of the season, and has the material right at hand in the studio ready to give to the pupil in order that all delay may be minimized.
