e degrees of vibration that do not exist at all for
you. Of course there are some exceptions among the few of your Earth
who, after having striven hard for light have been favored by God's
angels in the development of a higher Spirituality.
Our teachers are guides who look after their charges in an atmosphere
of Love and, as a result, right conceptions of Truth are acquired by
the pupil.
Thought is the expression or fruit of the Spirit, and Martian children
are never allowed to forget their Spiritual growth. As a consequence
of this they are easily led into true knowledge, and having a broad
vision are able to see all things in their true relations. They begin
at the cause and work towards the effect, which is the opposite of your

No set rules of discipline are used in the schools. Indeed they are
not necessary for the reason that the one ideal: the one goal impressed
on the mind of the pupil is the complete expression of the Father

Concentration of mind, economy of time and energy are studied and

Astronomy on our planet offers an ideal field in seeking an
understanding of the reign of immutable law through the Infinite
Universe of God, and owing to the clear rarified atmosphere of Mars,
unusual opportunity is presented to students in visual observations of
the Heavens.
Entire classes of advanced students, accompanied by their teacher

ablaze with scintillating points of light. The different
constellations as viewed from our planet present the same general
appearance as to configuration as they do to the dwellers on your
Earth; but the view is decidedly more vivid by reason of a more
advantageous viewpoint.
The so-called Superior planets, such as Saturn, Jupiter, some of the
larger asteroids, and Uranus and Neptune, are nearer to Mars than to
Earth, and for that reason are more easily discerned from this vantage
point. Some of the satellites of Jupiter are easily seen with the
naked eye.
Your Earth appears to us about as Jupiter does to you, and with our
observing instruments we are able to see your continent and oceans when
not covered by a cloud canopy.
As to the so-called Inferior planets Venus and Mercury, the former
presents the appearance of a star of the first magnitude, but bein
