Tapes and book translations of Dianetics and Scientology are being made into other languages than English.

It is necessary to know the minimum materials an org in a non-English speaking country would need to function.

The instruction of students by tape is done by individual tape playbacks equipped with earphones and a foot pedal start-stop control.

It is not enough to have one book published. It creates a demand for services. The demand for service must be met. An HAS Course in the language is not enough since it is not income producing. Thus the org could not survive financially. It must survive financially to deliver the service.

It is imperative that the earphone quality be of the highest, and the tape copy have very good sound quality. Otherwise students go to sleep over misunderstood words.

Even in a total socialism the service would have to be given.

The individual tape player method is used because (a) it can handle a large or small number of students, (b) it works where there is a trickle of students starting at different times, (c) it works where students studying subjects different from each other are using the same classroom. It takes more tape players and must be earphone equipped but it prevents students going past misunderstoods as can occur if they are all listening to a group tape play.

Giving service depends on an org having the means of training auditors who can audit well and establishing the organization. Then the org could audit preclears as well as train more auditors.

The foot controlled start-stop pedal is necessary so the student can use his hands freely to take notes and look up words in the dictionary. It also enables the tape to be stopped instantly without the time lag it takes to reach for and push a finger button – thus going past the place where the stop is desired.

If the auditors who are trained can audit well, they will produce excellent results and public repute will spread.

An org must produce to survive. By production is meant training auditors who can audit, auditing pcs to a good result and making money, or in a total socialism, obtaining adequate support in ratio to production.

Only the Glossary, course rules and checksheets, with course description are translated into the language being used for teaching and mimeographed or printed into small booklets.

If an org just teaches an HAS Course or tests people, it will not be able to survive for it will not be able to obtain enough funds or support. For this it is vital to train lots of auditors and audit lots of pcs.

The description must include how to handle tape players and caution against machine or tape damage and inadvertent erasure of a tape. (To guard against actual erasure it is wisest to tape over the record button or preferably, to have the recording unit disengaged. Also, it is sometimes possible to buy, at cheaper prices, playback units only (tape machines in which the recording unit hasn’t been installed). They must however be of good quality.

Without its staff knowing the basic data of organization, the org will have difficulties in giving service. The technology of administration is important.

Thus we get the minimum materials in the language vital to an org’s survival:

Enrollment is done no matter how informal the course is. A waiver of accident or damage holding the school not responsible, must be signed by the student and, if a minor, by his parents or guardian on any tape course.

An enrollment invoice showing full course payment must be in the hands of the supervisor, giving the date of enrollment, home address and local address.

The book Dianetics: The Modern Science Of Mental Health printed with hard covers in the language is vital.

A roll book has every student’s name, address and the course enrolled in and date. This must not be omitted as it is the only permanent record and is often resorted to to prove contentions.

When members of the public read it and take an HAS Course they want training or processing or both.

This book placed in bookstores, advertised in magazines, and sold by Field Staff Members and the org itself not only reaches the public but also in hardcover form pays for its own distribution. As a paperback it does not pay for itself.

A student file system must exist. A folder with the student’s name on it and which will receive his completed checksheets, exam results, etc, must be made up at once.

To this add testing materials printed in the language for intelligence and personality testing and their marking directions.

A checksheet for the course must exist, breaking the course down into small easily attained segments of Theory and Practical.

Recorded tapes and tape players in the org to play to individuals in classes is the easiest form in which to deliver data.

It must be in the student’s language.

From such tapes students may take notes.

It has blanks opposite each segment so that a student checkout can be initialed with date by the person checking him out.

As time goes on the tapes will be transcribed and the material printed or mimeographed. (This is not to be done by the individual orgs.) It will be found however that tapes will always be necessary even when some is printed as the volume of data is very great.

Students should not be permitted to print copies of their notes and sell them as time has shown that such notes are not accurate enough and spread errors that show up in training and auditing failures.

A student is expected to keep a notebook from his tape listening. This should be neat and complete. The student never copies out the whole tape. He takes exact verbatim notes of any Process Commands or Lists and notes down also the important technical rules.

In reviewing, a student must be sent back to the original, not to his notes, so he can correct his notes and get the data accurately.

A sample notebook should be provided.

Nearly all no-results are traced to altered data or poor training of the student, which amounts to the same thing.

A student should leave frequent spaces so he can enter new notes on a second and third play of the materials.

The minimum list of tapes is:

1. Mini Course Supervisor Hat

Where only tapes exist and a checkout is required students check each other out from the actual tape, not from their notes.

2. HAS Course

“Give me an example,” is the keynote of such a checkout. (a) What is the, ________ (b) Give me an example.

3. HDC Course

4. Academy Courses Levels 0 to IV

Each area of the course has demonstration and practical drills.

5. Original Thesis

These drills must be written up and must match the basic personal skills required by the materials.

6. Notes on the Lectures

7. Hat of a Scientologist

Clay table training is a vital part of the Course curriculum.

8. Staff Status I

The materials must be available.

9. Staff Status II

And clay, not just modelling clay, can be used.

10. A Translated Org Bd

Flat surfaces must be provided.

The description of clay table training must be part of early checksheets in the school.

Given these bare essentials and teaching them well and using them will give an org sufficient survival to deliver results.

If every bit of the above is known and used by a staff they will not have too much trouble.

A student is drilled and does clay table on the glossary after he has been through the course once.

Set up and functioning and solvent, an org can then think about further materials.

Class VI, a Class VII, a Class VIII and a Class IX Course materials on tape should exist in a Saint Hill org in the language of that country.

The student is required to go in sequence through the entire checksheet HCO PL of 31 August 1974, issue II, “Fast Flow Training Reinstated”, applies to Translated Tape Courses.

For the org itself a Volume Zero of the OEC Course should exist on tape.

The checksheet is arranged double-spaced for Tape Counter Reading, date and initial in the first of the three columns.

After that the full Course Supervisor’s Course should exist.

For example:

Then further books such as Dianetics ‘55!, Science of Survival and The Creation of Human Ability should come out as tape and then in published hardcover form.

“Tape Counter

The full OEC should now be acquired on tape.

Reading Column Retread Retrain

The full Study Tapes should be to hand.

______________ 1. Chapter III – The Goal of Man________________________

The org will now be ready to use all the FEBC series and the FEBC tapes.

See HCO PL 31 August 1974, Issue II, „Fast Flow Training Reinstated“.

The hardest idea for an org staff to get is the idea of production in terms of auditors trained who can audit, pcs audited to excellent results and money or support produced to keep the staff members and the org solvent.

Because of this it is best for 2 or more bilingual executives to attain full FEBC training.

A student’s progress is posted on a “progress board”.

However, with the above minimum materials fully studied and in use, an org can survive until it is ready to prosper.

Any student falling asleep or being very slow is handled with Word Clearing which is the subject of the Word Clearing Series Bulletins and later issues in these Tape Course Series Bulletins.

Note, at this writing many are working hard to complete the listed materials. They are not yet available in all languages.

There is only one other type of item needed by an org and that is the E-Meter. Supplies of these must be arranged for. A country running in very high volume will probably manufacture its own meters against an exact prototype under existing international patents.

It will be found in all countries where Dianetics and Scientology and orgs have been successful that a key part of the success was keeping the subject “on source”.

The public at once distrusts persons or groups who alter the materials or “use some of them” or attribute them to others. This is quite factual and the public is right.

All great and lasting successes have been made by orgs that were on source and whose materials were straight and correct and used that way.
