Article Iv

Article IV is even longer than Article III ( don ’ t worry ; it gets much worse ) and goes into divisions . Just like the U . S . has states , counties , cities , etc ., the NJCL has its own levels of division .
Section 1 ( Divisions ) simply states the following :
The divisions of the NJCL shall be the local chapters and States . The next sections will go into more detail about what each of these are .

To be a sponsor , you must be : A . a member of the American Classical League ; B . a teacher in classics or an legal adult high school graduate that lives near the chapter ’ s students ; C . able to perform the duties specified in the NJCL Chapter Handbook .
