He prepares <.n outline, or sylabus in pamphlet form, i , which each days reading is mapped out for the student, and this is mailed monthly to eaeh member. This furnishes a sufficient guide to vent waste of time in the home reading. The plan is excellent and uo University in Am&rica can offer such a faculty of instruction in historv.
