Part 2 — SPECIAL NOTES.
Reading edition
We hope that the plan adopted in this issue, of marking the words in the Required Readings in The Chautauquan which are annotated, with a figure, will meet with the approval of our readers. Many requests have been received asking for some plan of marking the words on which notes had been made.
The course of study as it appears in the Popular Educational circular in this issue of The Chautauquan is complete and correct. It was found necessary to revise the course somewhat after its first appearance in the circular, hence the difference between the course as it first appeared and as it now is given.
The Vesper Service which appears in this issue of The Chautauquan has been prepared especially for our readers. It can be procured at our office in quantities, if desired. See advertisement.
SUBSTITUTIONS.
It is earnestly desired that all members of the C. L. S. C. will read the appointed and required books.
Substitutes can be accepted only where pupils are too poor to purchase new works.
It is not allowable for local circles, committees or chairmen to choose other than the appointed readings.
Any other policy would be disastrous to the aims of the C. L. S. C.
