Throw all sorts of
instruction as much
as possible into verse
generalize Gray's
Minoria echnica

3
Remove the fund of
reward as large
as possible, by
making comforts enjoyments
which would otherwise
be barren and
unproductive answer
the purpose of reward.

In particular, make
the most of the principle
of honour
in the capacity of a
fund of reward

5
Multiply classes, rising
one above another
in reach and
dignity consideration

Give intensity to the
honour by conspicuous
and characteristic
symbols accompanying
the person

introduce a
fashion of instruction
in the way of medical
and chirurgical
knowledge, sufficient
to give them an instruction
of what

much as possible the
scholars that have but

Husbandry of Time
<p>1
Leave no part of their
time unoccupied

Allow for this no
more than is necessary
to health

Allow no recreations
but what are subservient
either to
health to the culture
of the corporeal, intellectual
or moral
faculties, or to good
husbandry in a pecuniary
sense.

Discard useless
studies, however prevalent.

Discard them unless parts
of useful studies: ex.gr
that of the chemical characters
in chemistry

Combine moral
branches of instruction
in one exercise
Ex.gr. In teaching
to write give for
specimens to be copied
compositions

pecuniary sense

Keep them to that
made of living, in

the which have
least expensesnot unhealthy without
regard to custom

Among recreation
giving give the preference
to such as yield a are attended with
profit, such as rowing -

By this means, all
the time that is not
employ'd in sleep
may be employ'd in
work, since many works
are work and play at
the same time.

Discard it for a
time at least out of
useful studies, then less
useful parts: ex.gr.
the demonstrations in
mathematics in comparison
of the propositions
In books of Moral
instruction, the precepts
are commonly given with
little or no demonstration
of their use.

Means of operating
continued

10 Encouraging the learner
to welcome the
mode of instruction
to discover imperfections,
and suggest
improvements in it.

11
Of Order as a means
of operating in the
communication of intelligence

Make the priority
of the several studies
inversely as the degree
of intelligence
required, without regard
to practice. ex. g. physical studies before ethical Ethical before Logical. Among Physical, Natural History before Natural Philosophy - Conception before Reasoning Judgement
