Show THE LADIES CLASSES for instruction by correspondence in England are conducted by women who have studied at Cambridge or Oxford, who have received certificates at the London University, or have distinguished themselves at the higher local examination, and generally have had long and successful practice in teaching of an advanced kind. The subjects are religious knowledge, arithmetic and mathematics, English literature, old English (including Anglo-Saxon), English history, French, German, Greek and Latin, and Italian. The instruction is given by means of papers of questions, set at intervals, if possible no longer than a week; solution of difficulties and directions as to books, short essays or resumes written by the pupils, and sent for correction to the teacher; or, in the language classes, of passages set for translation. |
