It proposes to encourage individual study in lines and by text-books which shall be indicated; by local circles for mutual help and encouragement in such studies; by summer courses of lectures and “students’ sessions” at Chautauqua, and by written reports and examinations. 3.—COURSE OF STUDY. The course of study prescribed by the C. L. S. C. shall cover a period of four years. 4.—ARRANGEMENT OF CLASSES. Each year’s course of study will be considered the “first year” for new pupils, whether it be the first, second, third or fourth of the four years’ course. For example, “the class of 1886,” instead of beginning October, 1882, with the same studies which were pursued in 1881-’82 by “the class of 1885,” will fall in with “the class of ’85,” and take for their first year the second year’s course of the ’85 class. The first year for “the class of 1885” will thus in due time become the fourth year for “the class of 1886.” 5.—C. L. S. C. COURSE OF READING, 1882-’83. _I. Required._ 1. Readings in the History and Literature of Greece, England, Russia, Scandinavia, China, Japan and America. 2. Readings in Science; Geology, Astronomy, Physiology, and Hygiene. 3.
