Question Answered

Mary Baker G. Eddy

I reply to the following question from unknown questioners: "Are the students whom we have taught obliged to take both Primary and Normal class instruction at the Board of Education in order to become teachers of Primary classes?" No; not if you and they are loyal Christian Scientists, and after examination by the Board of Education your students are found eligible to enter the Normal class—which at present is taught by the Board of Education only.

There is evidently some misapprehension of my meaning as to the mode of instruction by the Board of Education. A Primary student of mine can teach pupils the practice of Christian Science, and after three years of good practice he himself can be examined by this Board, and if found eligible receive a certificate of the degree C.S.D.
