While giving instructions that the institute should fulfill its duty and mission as a training centre of military and political cadres, she found portraits of famous foreign generals hanging on walls of dorm corridors.

She asked officials of the school why they had hung only foreigners' pictures though the country was boasting of a lot of renowned patriotic commanders.

She advised them to have portraits of Korean patriots hung on the walls, saying that patriotism comes from a good knowledge of one's own things first and foremost.

Looking around visual aids made by the school, she said it should make the best use of objective and visual aid materials in education and that military education should not be done in others' way blindly but in the Korean way as in the period of the anti-Japanese armed struggle.

The advice she gave to the staff of the school that day served as guidelines in its educational work.
