Christian Science
Care of Pupils. SECTION 2. Christian Scientists who are teachers
shall carefully select for pupils such only as have good past records
and promising proclivities toward Christian Science. A teacher shall
not assume personal control of, or attempt to dominate his pupils,
but he shall hold himself morally obligated to promote their progress
in the understanding of divine Principle, not only during the class
term but after it, and to watch well that they prove sound in
sentiment and practical in Christian Science. He shall persistently
and patiently counsel his pupils in conformity with the unerring laws
of God, and shall enjoin them habitually to study the Scriptures and
SCIENCE AND HEALTH WITH KEY TO THE SCRIPTURES as a help thereto.
Defense against Malpractice. SECTION 3. Teachers shall instruct their
pupils how to defend themselves against mental malpractice, never to
return evil for evil, but to know the truth that makes free, and thus
to be a law, not unto others, but to themselves.
Number of Pupils. SECTION 4. The teachers of Christian Science shall
teach but one class yearly, which class shall consist of not more
than thirty pupils. After 1907, the Board of Education shall have one
class triennially, a Normal class not exceeding thirty pupils.
Pupil's Tuition. SECTION 5. A student's price for teaching Christian
Science shall not exceed $100.00 per pupil.
Associations. SECTION 6. The associations of the pupils of loyal
teachers shall convene annually. The pupils shall be guided by the
BIBLE, and SCIENCE AND HEALTH, not by their teachers' personal views.
Teachers shall not call their pupils together, or assemble a selected
number of them, for more frequent meetings.
A Single Field of Labor. SECTION 7. A loyal teacher of Christian
Science shall not teach another loyal teacher's pupil, except it
be in the Board of Education. Outside of this Board each student
occupies only his own field of labor. Pupils may visit each other's
churches, and by invitation attend each other's associations.
Caring for Pupils of Strayed Members. SECTION 8. A loyal teacher of
Christian Science may teach and receive into his association the
pupils of another member of this Church who has so strayed as justly
to be deemed, under the provisions of Article XII, Sect. 1, not ready
to lead his pupils.
Teachers must have Certificates. SECTION 9. A member of this Church
shall not teach pupils Christian Science unless he has a certificate
to show that he has been taught by Mrs. Eddy or has taken a Normal
Course at the Massachusetts Metaphysical College or in the Board of
Education.
Such members who have not been continuously active and loyal
Christian Scientists since receiving instruction as above, shall
not teach Christian Science without the approval of The Christian
Science Board of Directors.
