One member has already nearly finished two of the books since the meetings closed at Chautauqua. He read on the train; he read at the station; he read at the hotel; he read during the odd minutes at home. This is a good example.
The readings for October are: History of Greece,[D] vol. 2, by Prof. T. T. Timayenis, parts 7 and 8; Chautauqua Text-Books—No. 5, Greek History, by Dr. J. H. Vincent; Primer of American Literature, by C. F. Richardson; required readings in The Chautauquan.
Let the members of the Class of ’83 who were not graduated in August, now begin to read up the required books, and be ready for graduation in 1884.
In the earliest announcement of the course of study for 1883-84, the little Chautauqua Text-Book No. 22, on Biology, was given. Many members suppose that this is the substitute for “Easy Lessons in Vegetable Biology,” an altogether different book. The price of Chautauqua Text-Book No. 22 is 10 cents; the price of “Easy Lessons in Vegetable Biology” is (in the cheapest edition) 25 cents. If they will return to Phillips & Hunt, 805 Broadway, New York, the Chautauqua Text-Book and 15 cents additional, they will forward the “Easy Lessons in Vegetable Biology.”
Students in the Class of 1887 should have Chautauqua Text-Books Nos. 4 and 5, English and Greek History. They have already been read by the other classes. Price, 10 cents each.
