That each training school outline a course of studyfor the further training of students who have passedthrough the training school. Such a course of study shouldcontain a percentage of required subjects to be taken by allwho follow the course, and a further, and possibly a larger,percentage of elective studies from which each student underthe advice of his mission may select such as he deems bestadapted to his individual requirements.2. That the course be based on the unit system,whereby a definite number of units covering certainspecified groups of subjects should be required for eachsuccessive section of the course.3. That examinations be conducted by the trainingschools at stated times and places. These should be madethe basis for reports on the standing of each student to themission with which he is connected.
