I notice in Oct Journal different arrangements about your classes- I supposed Mrs Bates & Myself were to go into your primary class to be taught by you individuallyAs Written:individualy. Or do you think us competent to take the Normal Course now that we have been taught by Miss Cross- We do not think it would be greatly to our advantage to go through another Primary Class taught by a student. Our idea was to have personal instruction from you- Please advise what you think best for us. Our time is valuable but we wish to have the "ScieneEditorial Note: Christian Science" thoroughly drilled into us-

Yours Truly
