CURRICULUM

T h e follow ing C ourses are offered at this time. O ther Courses will be added to the C urriculum from time to time as demands are made. Each Course is arranged for w eekly lectures, and a T erm in each course is variable according to the nature of the study. E xam in atio n s at the close o f each T erm are neces­ sary fo r advancem ent into the next Term , and every possible help will be given to assist the student to pass such exam inations, regardless o f time or other conditions. Som e Courses require a prelim inary exam ination to prove that the student ' eligible for such co u rse s; those requiring such prelim inary exam inations are so marked in this C urriculum or C atalog o f Courses. I f you are in doubt about your ability to m aster any course, write to the C ollege Secretary and tell him why you believe you m ay not be able to study and learn as you should and he will submit certain tests which w ill settle the question satisfacto rily fo r you and the College. T h ere is no charge o r fee fo r this test service. T h e approxim ate time fo r each Course is from 6 months to one year, accord­ ing to the nature o f the C ourse and the ability o f the student.

Its principles are from the discoveries o f the ancient mystics who claimed the eyes to be the ‘ ‘ windows o f the soul.” N ew and startling scientific discoveries h ave proven accuracy of these principles and there is no more dependable method o f detecting a disordered condition, physical or mental, than by exam ining the eye o f the child or adult.
