My dear Student.

To command the public respect we must have uniformity in our System of public Schools and in the line of other educational methods. The good work of my good Students contrasted with the evil and ignorance of other claimants calling themselves Presidents and Professors will eventually win public confidence to their side alone and expose the false claims of others trying to outdo their own abilities. In view of all this we have adopted the following Rules

1. Give the name Christian Scientists to all business Cards and identify your School by this name but avoid repeating each others' As Written: others names of Schools

2 Your Board of Instruction is designated by Principal and Teacher instead of President and Professor

3 On certificates for your students give the full term Christian Scientists The initials C.S. signify Degrees and Colleges only confer those

4 Until your full Course at the Mass. Met. Col. is completed you are not fitted to establish Colleges and give Degrees

The above conforms to the common forms of education and keeps us as a people from meriting the burlesque of being lawless like Spiritualists

Affectionately
Your Teacher
