DOCTRINAL POSITION OF THE INSTITUTE Th e Bibl e In stitute seeks to coope ra te with a ll cva ng;clica l denominati ons. It has no purpose or thoug ht of form in g a nell' denominati on. The .Inst itut e recognizes and r ej oices in th e grea t good th at is be ing accompl ished by the chu rches of the different denomin a ti ons, a nd seeks to help them to do even more efficient wor k.

T he Statement of Faith is as fo ll ows :
STATEMENT OF FAITH I.
T he Bible, cons is ting of al l the books o f th e Old and :s" ew Testaments . is th e \,Vo rel of God, a supernaturally g iven reve la ti on from God 1-1 imse l f, conce rning I Iimse l f, His being, natur e, cha rac te r . wi ll and purposes; and co nce rning ma n, hi s nature. need, duty a nd dest iny . The Sc ri ptures 0f the Old a nd ;-; e11· T es taments a r e witho ut error or misstatement in their mo ra l a nd spiritua l teachings a nd reco rd of hi sto ri cal facts. Th ey a r e ll'it hout error or defect of any kind . II. T here is one God. ete rnally exi sti ng a nd manifesti ng 1-.l imself to us in thr ee Persons-Father, So n a nd J lo ly Spirit. III . The Lord J esus wa s supernatu ra ll y co nceived by th e power o f th e H o ly Spi rit an d born of a virgin-- :-l a ry, a linea l descendan t o f Dav id. H e li ved and taugh t and wrought mighty wor ks a nd wonde r s and s ign s. exactly as is reco rd ed in the four Gos pels. I-l e wa s put to d eat h by crucifix ion und er P ontiu s Pil a t e. God ra ised from th e dead the body that had been na iled to the cross . T he Lo rd J es us afte r His cr ucifixi on showed Himse lf a live to His dis cipl es, appea ri ng unt o them by the space o f fo rty clays. After thi s the Lord J es us ascend ed in to H eaven , a nd the Fat her caused Him to s it a t Hi s ri ght hand in th e heavenly places, far above a ll rul e a nd aut hority and power and domini on and eve ry name that is named, not only in th is 11· orlcl , but a lso in that 11·hi ch is to come, and pu t a ll things in sub j ect ion under 1-Ji s f ee t, and gave Jcl im to be ] lead ove r a ll thin gs to the Chu rch. IV. Th e Lo rd J es us. befo r e His in ca rn ation, exis ted in the form of God, a nd of Hi s own choice lai d as ide J-li s di,·in e glo ry and took upon I-limself th e fo rm of a se r vant . a nd was made in the likeness o f men. In Hi s pr e-ex istent stat e, H e was with Goel and wa s Goel . H e is a d ivin e pe rson, possessed oi a ll th e attr ibutes of Deity. a nd sho uld be worshi pped as God by a ngel s a nd men . "In Him clwe ll eth a ll the fu ln ess of the Godhead bodi ly." f\ 11 the wo rds that I-le spoke during Hi s ea rthly Ii ie were th e words of Goel . There is a bso lutely no erro r of any kind in them, a nd by the wo rds of Jesus Chri s t th e words o f a ll o th er teacher s must be tes ted. V . The Lord J esus became in e ,· ery respect a real man, possessed of all the essential char acteristics of human natur e. 9
VI. By His death upon the cross, the Lord J esus made a perf ec t atonement for sin, by which the wra th o f God against sinners is appea sed, and a ground furni shed upon which Goel can deal in mercy with sinn ers. H e r edeemed us fr om the curse of the law by becoming a curse in our place. H e \,Vho Him se lf was absolutely without sin, was made to be sin on our behal £. tha t we mi ght become th e righteo usness o f God in Hirn. The Lord J esus is corning aga in to thi s earth , per sonally, bodil y, and vi sibly. The return of our Lord is the bl essed hope o f the bel ie \' er, and in it God's purposes o f grace toward mankind will find th eir consummat ion. VIL Th e H oly Spirit 1s a person a nd is possessed of a ll the di s tincti ve ly di vin e at tri butes. H e is Goel. VIII. :\[ an was created 111 th e image o f Goel , a ft er Hi s likeness, but th e wh ole human ra ce fell in th e fall of the fir st Adam. A ll men, until they accept th e Lord J es us as th eir personal Saviour, a r e los t, da rkened in th eir unders ta nding , a li enated fr om th e lif e of God through the ignorance tha t is in them, ha rcl cnccl in hea rt, mora lly a nd spirit ua lly dea d through th eir tr espasses a nd sin s. T hey cann ot sec, no r ent er th e Kingdom o f Goel until th ey ar e born aga in of the H o ly Spi r it. IX. l\I en a r e just ifie d 0 11 th e simple and sing le g round of th e shed bl ood o f Chri s t, a nd upon th e s imp le a nd s in gle co 11 cl itio 11 of fait h in B im \\'ho shed the blood, and a re bo rn again by th e qui ckening, rene\\'in g, cleansing wo rk of the II oly Spirit th ro ugh th e in st rumenta lity o f the \Vo rel o f Goel. X. All those wh o r ecc i,·c J es us Chri s t as th eir Savi our and th eir Lord, a nd who con fess Him as such befo re their fe llowmen, become childr en o f Goel , and r ece ive eterna l Ii f e. T hey become hei rs of Goel a nd j oint-h eirs with J es us Chri st. A t death their spirits depa rt to be wi th Chri s t in co nscious blcssecin css, a nd at th e second coming o f Chri st, their bo die s shall be ra ised an d tr ans fo rmed into th e likeness c, [ th e body o f Hi s g lo ry. XI. A ll those who pers is tent ly r ej ect J es us Chri s t in th e pr esent lif e sha ll be r a ised fr om the dead, and throughout eternity ex ist in a s ta te of consc ious, unut te rable, endl ess torment and a ng ui sh . XII. The Ch ur ch consis ts of a ll those who, in th is pr esent di spensation, truly be li eve on J es us Chri s t. It is th e body and bride of Chri st, which Chri s t loves, and for whi ch H e ha s given Himse l f up. XIII. Th ere is a per so na l dc ,·il, a being of g r eat cunning a nd powe r , "The prince o f th e power o f th e air," "The pr in ce of thi s world,' ' "The god o f thi s age ." H e can ex ert hi s vast powe r only so fa r as Goel suffer s him to do so . H e shall ultima tely be cast into the lake of fire a nd brims tone, a nd sha ll be tormented cl ay a nd night for eve r.

ADVANTAGES AND PRIVILEGES jf JEST of a ll we c1re Yc ry fortunate in om staff of teachers. Th ey arc al l men a nd women of true Chri s tian Ii fe and expe rien ce. deepl y taught in the \,Vo rel of Goel a nd each cspec1all y pr epared for his o r h er own particular 1111 c of wo rk. f\rnong them a r c some of the ve ry g r eatest Bible te ache r s of thi s generation. and no Bible In s ti tute in the world has a more capable and devoted g r oup of wo rkers . The second advantage of th e B ible In s titute o f Los Angeles is fou nd in its locat ion . There is pr ba bl y no mo r e hea lthful climate in all the world than th at of this city. The student he r e is free fr om a ll the physical strain that one is necessarily und e r, e ith e r in summer o r winter . in most la rge cities in other sectio ns of th e nitcd States . :-Jany coming to Los Ange les in run-cl own ph ys ica l conditi on, soo n r ega in aboundin g healt h. But this is no t the on ly advantage in the locat ion of th e Bible Institute in this city . It is cl o11bt fu l if t her e is a ny othe r city on the globe where there is at the pr esent t ime so g reat a n eed on the one hand. and on the ot her so g r eat an oppo rtuni ty an d p rom ise. for sound and so lid Bible work and agg r ess ive Chri st ian effort. l\o one who has not lived in Los Angeles and studied t he city and it s inhabit an t s. its locatio n. r eso urces a nd grow th , has any con cept ion of its presen t g reat ness, and much less of its futur e possibilities. It has not only the matchless climate to which r efe r ence ha s a lrea dy been made. but a lso its ma r ve lous ly fe rtil e soil . its rich mines . .its cheap fuel. a nd a c iti zens hip of r a r e qua lity. In additi on to this. the opening of the P a na111a Ca nal. a nd th e proximity of the Ca li forn ia Coast to the O ri ent. a ll mark Los A nge les as a city of d est in y. );ot on ly docs Los Ange les a lr eady dominate t he Pac ific Coas t, but its influence upon Japan. Chin a and Korea. is immeasu r able fo r good o r ev il. T hi s is the c riti ca l hour. a nd those wh o believe in the Bible and its 111 a t chless power to influ ence . not on ly individuals. but also society as a who le, and the co111111crcial lif e of nati on s as well as their religious lif e. should se ize the present oppo rtunity at any cost. This city is not onl y a place of unpa r a lle led a dvantages for th e stu dy of t he \\. o rcl of Goel, but a lso for th e use of t he \ ,Vo rel in sav ing 111cn, while it is be ing s tudi ed. St ud en ts will find he r e an opportunity to work among people of E uropean nations, and also amo ng t he Span i,; h spea king peopl e of :- 1cx ico, Cent ral and So uth A 111 crica, and among Koreans, Chin ese. J apa n esc and H indoos . l\ o othe r city offer s such opportuni ti es for preparation fo r work in fo r eig n lands. T he third advantage is found in the buildings and equ ipment. Th e Bible In stitute has two do rmi to ri es , one for men and on e fo r " ·omen. Each of th ese bu il dings is fifteen sto ries hi gh. in cludin g baseme nt and sub-basement , and abso lutely fire-proof. There arc o,·er 600 rooms, with hot and co ld water. steam hea t. and electr ic li ght in every room. T her e a r c also shower a nd tub ba t hs on each Aoor . and many o th e r co n veniences in connection with the rooms. I t has a lso an a udit o rium building with a ma in audi to rium accommodati ng o,·cr 4000 peopl e, an d sma ll e r lect ure rooms fo r th e di ff c r ent c lasses . These lectu r e rooms can be thrown together and accommo date o ,·e r 1000 peop le. There is a lso a large libr ary and reading room fo r quiet study (sec page 22) and a lso assemb ly rooms. There arc three roof gar dens , one on each building. These buildings a r c located in the ve ry hea rt of the bus in ess a nd hotel sect ion of Los A nge les . Th ey arc 1Yithin a sto ne's throw of the Biltmore Hotel. a nd on ly one block from the largest r eta il sto r e in the c ity . They a r e a lso within easy r each of a ll lin es of street ca r s, radiating to a ll parts of the city and running out s ixty o r seventy miles into the cou ntry. Some of t he most important lin es of both street ca r sys tems run within a qua r te r of a block of t he bu ildings, and tr a ns fc r s can be had fro m them to a ll other lin es in th e city. The next ach· a ntagc is found in the access ibili ty of the publi c library (wh ich is the largest library west of Chicago) a nd othe r buildings of a n educa ti ona l ch a r acte r wh ich a re open to the public. Th e library is located immed iate ly ad jace n t to the In st itute building. See page 17. A furthe r ach ·a n tage is fou nd in th e oppo rtunity for recreation. Al l th e ocean beaches a r e access ible by str eet ca r lines. Some of them ca n be r eached in ha ]f an hou r and other s of them in an hour. ;,.I\. Lowe and :-lt. \ Vi lso n can be r eached by trolley. The students on their r est cl ays t ake ma ny o utings together, and parties needin g rest go to the seashor e or mountain r eso rt s. 13

DEVOTIONAL LIFE "That was a great lack in my schoo l Ii fe.'' said one who is grow ing o ld in Christian se rvi ce. when the devoti ona l life o f the In sti tute was under di scuss io n.

FOR WHOM INTENDED Th e object of the In stitute, stated in general terms, is to train men a nd women in the th orough kn oll'l ecl ge and effecti ve practica l use o f th e Eng li sh Bible, a nd it is there fore intended for a ll men and women who wish to get the mos t thoro ur·h know ledge poss ible of the \\'orcl of Go el and to use it in a ny fo rm of Chri sti an activity . There are, howeve r. speci'al classes of men and women, to meet whose need the Bible In st itut e is espec ia ll y adapted: I. Mrn who a re ca ll ed o f Goel into th e mini stry of H is Word. I t was not th e int enti on of Mr . r-Ioocly when he fou nded the first Bible In stitut e in th is count ry, to train men for the pas torate, but afte r a few yea rs' expe ri ence it was found that very many of its graduates did find th eir way, sooner or later, into the pastorate. T he course of trai nin g given in the In st itute is not plann ed to supplant that of the th eo log ical seminary in pr eparing men for the mini stry; but fo r mor e than a qua rter of a centu ry men wh o have taken this co urse have proved its wo rth in pasto rates at home and in th e mi ss ion fi eld s abroad , wher e they have made, and are making sp lendid reco rds as hera lds o f th e Gospe l a nd wi nn er s o f men for Chri st. Thi s course is completed in three years (See pages 21 a nd 43 fo r detail s.) 2. Graduates of co ll eges and th eo log ical seminaries who des ir e to supplement th e knowledge obta in ed in co ll ege and semina ry by a mo r e thorough study o f the E ng li sh Bible, practical methods o f aggr ess ive Chri st ian work, and th e mos t eff ecti ve methods of teaching th e Bible. 3. Young men and women who wis h to t rai n fo r the educational work of th e chu rch e.g., D irecto r s o f Ch ri st ia n Educat ion , Girl s' W orker s, Boys' \Vo rker s, Pastors' Assistants, etc. The importance of this work is being increas ingly r ecognized, and to meet the need we a re offe ring a three years' spec ia li zed co ur se in Chri stian Education-a cou r se evangeli ca l 111 point of view an d thoroughly pedagogical and pr act ica l in method . 4. I,.,f en and women who a re planning to go to the fo r eign mi ss ion fie ld. More than three hundr ed men a nd women who have been tra in ed in the Bibl e In st itute of Los Angeles are now doing effect ive work in th e fo reign fi eld. 5. Foreign mi ss iona ri es home on fur lough. Many of those who have had experi ence in th e field need clui-ing their clays o f furl ough to in crease their know ledge of the Bibl e and th e meth ods of Chri st ian wo r k now 111 use . No t in fr equently they find that th ere is no place so well adap ted fo r th is purpose as the Bible Institute. 6. Men and women pr eparing for various for ms of Chri stian wo rk besides the pasto rate, evange li sts , sing ing evange li s ts, superin te ndents o f Chri stian in s t itut ions, S unday schoo l worker s, assistant pas tors, church visito rs, Young ).{en's Chri stian Association secretari es, Young \1/omen 's Chri st ian Assoc iation Secr eta ri es, city mis sion wo rker s, rescue mi ss ion worker s. 7. Men and women who do not in tend to g ive th eir whol e time to definit e fo rms o f Chri stian serv ice, but who desire a larger know ledge of the B ible and pract ica_l methods of wo rk, in ord er that they may be more usef ul in th eir home churches. Large number s o f men and women have gone through th e B ibl e In stitute with no intent ion of giv ing their entir e li fe to definite Chri st ian work. Not a f ew o f the se afte rwa rds have gone into th e pasto rate and oth er fo rms of Chri s t ia n wo rk, but many of them have gone back to their churches to be a help to their pasto r and to the Chri st ian li fe of the community. 8. Men a lr eady in the mini stry who feel the need of a mor e thorough, accurate and practical know ledge of th e E ng li sh Bibl e. An ever increas in g number of men who have had s uccessfu l experi ence in th e mini st ry a r e com ing to the Bible In stitute to take advantage of its fac ilit ies for equipment for in creas ing usef uln ess.

It embraces the following subjects: I. Christian Doctrine Th e purpose of this cou rse is to acquaint th e stud ent with the great doc t ri nal truths of Ch r istianity as r evealed in the Sc riptures of the O ld and Kew T estament s. The text-book is the English Bible; As far as pos sible the inductive method of st udy is empl oyed, the student being r equi r ed to study carefully those passages bear ing upon a particular subj ect wit h a view toward formulating hi s own statement of the doct r ine taught. The work of the st udent is checked up by class discuss ion . a nd is supp lemented by systemat ic lec tur es. The ent ire cou rse cove r s t\\"0 yea rs and includes a st udy of the doct rine of the Scriptures, of Goel , of J es us Chr ist. o f the Ho ly Sp irit, o f Ange ls, of Ma n, of Sin , of Sa l vat ion, of the K ingdom, of th e Chu rch and of the Last T hi ngs . toge ther with t heir r elated doct rin es . II . Bible Synthesis The Syn th et ic method o f Bible st udy a ims to provide the student with the following: First. A compr ehensive v iew of individua l books of the Bible- th e pu rpose for whi ch written, relation to other books of the Bible, the a ppli ca ti on of the teaching to the per sona l li fe. Second. A compr ehensive g rasp of the genera l contents of the en tir e Bible so that the ma in features of its revelati on may be seen and understood . Third. A r ecogniti on of the progressive cha racter and development o f the div ine reve lat ion as set fo r th in the Scriptur es . S tud ents a re requ i,·cd to do i11 dcpc11cl e11t, ori gi na l r esearch work in the study of portions of Scr iptur e ass igned in advance. Th e res ults of this ind ivid ua l study a rc pr esented a nd dis cussed in the class room. III. Bible Chapter Summary This is a simpl e, ye t very effccti,·e method of Bible study which necessitates the stud ent' s doing defi nit e a nd ori g inal wo rk. Fo ur questions a re to be a nswe r ed in writing 011 each of th e chapters ass igned for the week ly lesson. Th ese questions are : What I s the Principal S ubj ect of th e Chapter? \ ,Vha t I s the Leading Lesson o f th e C11aptcr? What I s th e Best Verse in the Chapter ? \ -V ho A r c the Persons Prominent in the Cha pter? The student is ca ll ccl on in class to r epo rt the answers which a re di scussed. Difficu ltie s a re dea lt with as they arise in th e recitation. IV. Bible Analysis Afte r the more general view of the Bible gai ned th ro ugh the study of SYNTHES IS-the student is led th rough the study un der the tit le of ANALYSIS to dea l mo re compre hensively with a g iven book. Authorsh ip-occas ion o f wr iting-purpose together w ith developing methods of ana lyzing a book of Sc ri pture are her e dea lt w ith. 18
V. Bible Exegesis EXEGESIS-from the Greek verb meaning-to lead th e way out-suggests the real purpose of this study as bei ng the discove ry from the o ri g inal words of the text it se lf th e prima ry meaning und er the Spirit of Goel of the words g iven by di vin e in spira ti on. It is not imposing on the text any man's conception of truth but end eavo ring lo d raw out from th e text itself that conception which the Sp irit of Goel intends to convey . VI. Expos itory Bible Teaching Gncler this s tudy the endeavor is made to teach the st udent how to be a real expos ito r of the .Bible. Un fo lding the sac red Sc ri pture is one of th e fine arts of the Bible teacher and through thi s co ur se the student is trained in orde r that hi s teac hing of the .Bible may be expos itory, as ll'CII as that he himself may be feel on th e fi nes t of the wheat. VII. ·Biblical Introduction In this co urse th e simples t · facts a bout the .Bibl e as a book are taken up : The meaning o f the name .Bible; number a nd divisions of the books; the hi sto ry of the manuscripts, and of our English ve r sio ns; th e in spirat ion of the books; the canon of Scriptu re; th e geog raphy o f .Bibl e land s, especially Palestine and J erusa lem; th e t empl e, its locat ion and structur e ; the synagogue and it s sen ·ices. VIII. Biblical Criticism Bibl ical cr itici sm has been brought into d isrepute among many, because of the pr eva lence and a rroga nce o f destruct ive crit icism, but it has its proper pl ace in any thorough study of the Bible, and a thorough and candid study of Biblical critic ism neve r leads to destructive, but to constructive res ults. A ca re ful examinati on is made of the methods and a rguments of the destructive critics, and the falsity of th eir conclusions. T he pos itive argument for the Mosa ic author ship of tbe Pentateuch, for I sa iah 's author ship o f the entire book bear ing hi s name, and fo r Dani el being the a utho r of the book of Dani el, will he fully stated . IX. Christian Evidences (1) Th e proof that J cs us really arose fr om the dead. (2) Th e evidence that the Bible is the Viorel o f Goel. Ref er ence is made to the e,·iclence fr om th e monuments, from prophecy, fr om th e hi story of the book. fr om a compari son o f th e Bibl e with other books, together with a proof in personal ex peri ence that the Bible is th e \ -\lo rd of Goel. X. Church History This co urse is designed t0 familiarize the student with the g r ea t epochs and persons, th e doc trines and con trovers ies, the declines and rev ivals th at ha, ·e ma rked the hi sto ry of the church from the a postol ic period to th e period of the Reformation, and the great evangeli ca l rev ival s since th en.

0 xv. Evangelism The object of this study is to show what is the true work of the e,·ange li st, and to instruct the students in th e most effect ive methods of evangelism, including such subjects as: I-l ow to preach th e Gospel from th e eva nge li stic standpoint, ll ow to get ready fo r special meetings . How to t rai n the workers, ] low to conduct after meetings, How to conduct chil dren's meetings, Il oll" to estab li sh the conYerts, The relation of the evange li st to the churches . How to fo ll oll" up the work. H o 11· to ad,·ertise the work, l-1011· to raise money fo r the 11·ork. T hese subjects a rc al l treated in a practical way. by one ll"ho has clone evange l- ist ic work, assisted by othe r reli ab le and efficient evangelis t s. XVI. The Christian Interpretation of Life Large!)· the difference between Christian and non-Christian lan ds grows out of and results from the conception held by the people with regard to GOD an d ~1.-\::\ and TFIE \\'ORLD a nd man's necessary existing relationship thereto. In this course the Chris ti an Interpretation of Li [c is central. XVII. Prophecy A careful. sa ne st udy of the fulfilled and unfulfilled '.\[essianic and General prophecies of the Old and New Testaments, show ing th at the modernist position that there is no prcdicti,·e element in th e Bible, is untenable in the light of the facts. XVIII. Pedagogy It is not enough to know the truth, one needs to kno11· how to communicate that truth to others. Students a r c given a thorough course of study and practice in those methods of teaching that have pro,·ccl effect ive in personal experience. Such subjects as: The P oint of Contact. The A rt of Illust rati on, Th e r\ r t of Questioning, Gaining a nd Holding the Attention of th e Class: Encouraging the Backward, etc., are carefully studi ed. This is taken up in the Chri stian Education Cour se. XIX. Story Telling The one universal method of teachin g is through the story. It has made its appeal and carried its message in a ll times and to a ll ages, and to eyery kind of people. T o be a good story teller is one of the most Yaluabl e assets for the mis sionary, mini ste r, teach er, or any othe r kind of Christian worker. Principles of and pr act ice in sto ry telling a re part of the work of each of the three yea rs of the Ch ri st ia n Education course. It is not taken up as a sepa rate subject. but is incorpo rated in this cou rse in th e places where it comes normally and most effectively. xx. Christian Education The importance and inadequacy of the teachi ng work of the church is coming to be increas ingly recognized. The fact that th e church is losing its ch ildren a nd young people by mil lions is at last turning ou r attent ion to the need of adPquatcly training ou r boys and gi rl s in the Chri stian reli gion . To do this most important task. tra ined leaders in the educati onal work of the churches a re fully as impor tant as in the pulpit or in the secu lar schoo ls. Our course in Christian E ducati on a ims to offe r such training, and to o ff er it in a thoroughly practical, pedagogical, and evangeli st ic way, tryin g to combine the best of theo ry with actual practice. I ts puq:osc is to prepa re the right kind of yo ung men and women-both full-time and vo lunteer lay-wo rke rs- to go out equipped to work in churches as teacher s, superintendents, pastors · assistants. directors of religious education and young people's leaders, or to follow Ch ri st's g rea t command ' 'Go teach'' on either the home o r foreign field. There is a lso in mind the tr a inin g of teachers fo r the \\·eek Day Schools of Christian Edu cation which a rc being established in vari ous communities in in creasing numbers. Ce rtain pr eliminary educational requir ement s or ex perience for such teachers a r e of course necessa ry. The cha ll enge of the need and oppor tuni ty in this great fie ld of conservatiYe Chr isti an Education today is tremendous. It should in sp ir e many consecrated and capable young 23
people to turn the best of th eir devo ti on, abi liti es a nd training into a r ea l pr epar a ti on for thi s se rvice. Our co ur se is built on the a bso lute convi cti on that the B ibl e is not on ly the in sp ir ed 'vVo rcl of Go el , living and dynamic today, but a lso th e ri chest, mos t in spiring and most practica l sou rc e of teaching material to use in teaching the child , with th e further con viction that th e methods used shou ld be wo r thy of ou r task and of our tru st. T o rece ive the dipl oma o f thi s course r equires three yea r s of \\· ork. In the second a nd thi rd yea r s, except by spec ial a rr angement, the classes in Chri st ian Education a r e open only to st udents working fo r this diploma. The pr ac tical Chri s tian work assignmen ts fo r these years will as far as possible be linked up with the class room in s tructi on . It is a imed to keep the' secon d a nd thi rd year classes small, in or der that a trainin g as nea rly as poss ibl e ap prox imating normal tr a ining may be g iven , an d that there may be opportunity for indi vidual experience a nd development.
