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.
