THE BIBLE INSTITUTE OF LOS ANGELES

Employment and Financial Aid It is oftentimes possible for students, especially men stu­ dents, to find secular employment for two or three hours a day, or even more, by which to supplement their funds, although no guarantee of such employment can be given. This employ­ ment may be about the building, or it may be in stores or res­ taurants, or in other forms of occupation outside the Institute. A few students find work in the way of teaching, or as church assistants , or conducting choirs or singing in choirs, or as pas­ tors' assistants, etc. However, as a rule the men and women who work their way through the Institute are at a disadvan­ tage, and it is not advised, except where absolutely necessary. No one should enter without sufficient funds to carry them through at least one term, and it is better for them to be pro­ vided for the full cost of their board and room for the con­ templated period of their stay. The King's Business, the monthly magazine of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles, makes offers of help to intending students or present students, either men or women. (See page 71. ) On their graduation, the Institute is pleased to do what it can to place students permanently in Christian work, but it does not guarantee work to any one on leaving the Institute. But if men and women are willing to do any work that the Lord calls them to do, the demand for men and women who have graduated at the Institute usually proves greater than the supply. Classification of Students Students are classified as follows: 1. Regular Students. Those who take the full work in any course. 2. Special Students. Those who cannot take the full work of any of the courses for reasons which are satisfactory to the Faculty. The minimum work of a special student is four Bible classes a week, and one assignment. Special stu­ dents living in the building pay an increased rate for room and board of twenty per cent.
