Mental Attitudes Through both counselors and course selections, the students are provided with many of the tools they need for learning and living successfully. They are also stimulated to have much more intellectual curi- osity and to make further use of libraries, reference materials and other information which will help them to adapt to the demands of college work. The teachers also try to overcome in the students their dependence on others by making them think things out for themselves.
