There are no classes on Saturday afternoon nor on Sundays or holidays.  There are no evening or night classes at any time and no student may enroll who is not in a position to devote all the needed time to the pursuit of the work.  There is no part-time course, permitting the student to work or go to public or high school while attending the Bogue Institute.  The work here is too important to become a “side-issue.”  We insist that it be the student’s regular and only absorbing activity.

Lectures:  From time to time during the year, open lectures are given by myself and assistant instructors dealing with the fundamentals of speech or kindred subjects aimed to make for the students’ rapid progress.  These lectures are important and must be attended by every student.

A carefully-planned course:  Every step of the student’s course from the time of arising in the morning to the time of retiring at night, is planned for the best results.  Experience has taught us what is best and the day’s program is built upon the lines of greatest progress in a given time.  There are no haphazard steps in this program—­each activity accomplishes a desirable and necessary result.  These are the things that make for sure and rapid success —­and which insure that every day shall show progress over the day before.

In the work of the Bogue Institute every student’s course is under my direct and personal supervision and direction.  I am, of course, necessarily aided by assistant instructors, each of whom was selected with especial reference to his fitness for the work which is entrusted to him.

Every Teacher is a Specialist:  Each one is a specialist—­a master, backed not only by a thorough experience in the Bogue Institute, but also having served an extended apprenticeship under my personal instruction.

Every specialist responsible for any department of our instruction must meet certain rigid qualifications.  First, they must be well-educated, refined and of the best character.  They must understand the stammerer’s difficulty from a moral and mental standpoint as well as from a technical standpoint.  They must maintain a naturally sympathetic, cheerful and helpful frame of mind at all times and must be able to prove that the training under my hand has thoroughly qualified them to serve the pupils of the Bogue Institute.
