The four years' course of the C. L.
S. C. embraces the subjects taken up
in an. average college course , and in
this way the circle gives to its readers
the college student's general outlook
in history , literature , science and
art. The study of the languages and
of the higher mathematics , however ,
does not form a part of the work of
theC. L. S. C. The circle is not in
any sense a college , either in its
course of study or in its methods of
work. Yet it puts into the homes of
the people influences and ambitions
which will lead many thousand youths
to seek colleges and universities. The
circle is unsectarian and unsectional ,
promoting fraternity and inspiring
help to the home , the church and the
state. The C. L. S. C. is for busy
people who left school years ago and
who desire to pursue some systematic
course of instruction.

who wishes to improve. No one can
