Each worker shoultl he con tantly reminded to pray dail)' for the great ta k wh ich lie ahead. 4. PREPARED ES : Material ... uch as lesson. handcraft. fi I rn trip . other pecial vi ual aid . etc. hould be ecured from two lo three month in advance. I have alway followed the plan of beginning early (three month prior to DVB ) to have pecial meeting with all DVBS work– cr5. a well as departmental meeting . Each superinte ndent take charge of hi own group in thoroughly going over the lesson material to be taught. handcraft. n1usic and anything el e which is absolutely neces ary in order to be well prepared for that fir t day.
