 e A college or university may be registered as maintaining a sat- 
 isfactory standing for one full year of medicine when the combined 
 course for the baccalaureate and medical degrees is not less than 
 seven years ; and a university maintaining a registered medical 
 school may be registered as maintaining a satisfactory standing if it 
 shall confer academic degrees and medical degrees as a result of 
 a combined course covering six years, provided the diploma con- 
 ferring the academic degree, whether it be conferred at the end 
 of four years or at the end of six years, shall clearly indicate that 
 such degree is conferred as the result of concurrent courses covering 
 six years ; but this must in no case be construed to mean that 
 less than four years' work in subjects essential to a liberal education 
 will be approved as the basis of the academic degree. 
 
 / A commercial school may be registered as maintaining a satis- 
 factory standard upon the payment of an annual fee of $20 and

 nection with the University except in words for the use of which 
 it has written permission from the Regents. If subject to Univer- 
 sity supervision, it shall use the words " chartered as a stock (or 
 business) corporation " or some other descriptive word or phrase 
 accepted by the Regents as sufficiently indicating its proprietary 
 character wherever the fact of its incorporation is printed. This 
 regulation shall apply to all corporations holding limited charters 
 from the University and also to every association or institution

 APPORTIONMENTS 
 
 § 31 General requirements. No city, union free school dis- 
 trict or academy shall share in apportionments from the appropria- 
 tions to cities, academies, academic departments and school libraries 
 unless it has a permanent or provisional charter or has been ad- 
 mitted to membership in the University, submits all required re- 
 ports, makes proper provision for not less than 175 days of actual 
 academic instruction, shows an aggregate academic attendance of 
 not less than 1000 days for the school year, provides a school 
 building approved by the President of the University, maintains 
 a course of study of prescribed standard, makes general use of 
 the Regents academic examinations which shall be mandatory only 
 in the last two years of the school's course, and meets all other 
 requirements. This rule shall not prohibit an apportionment for 
 libraries on the basis of apportionments to common school dis- 
 tricts. Success in passing the Regents examinations shall not be 
 deemed necessary for the promotion or graduation of pupils from 
 schools that prefer to determine such advancements by their own 
 local standards ; and the principal of a school, for physical or 
 mental reasons to be reported to the University, may without 
 prejudice to the school's rights excuse a pupil from taking any 
 particular Regents examination. 
 
 § 32 Quota and attendance money. No academic department 
 shall be entitled to the quota of $100 or to any apportionment based 
 upon the attendance of academic pupils for the year during which 
 
REGENTS RULES 35 
 
 it is admitted unless its application for admission, showing that all 
 the required conditions for admission have been met, has been filed 
 prior to August ist of the year during which it was admitted, or 
 unless it is a school established by the board of education of a city 
 or district already maintaining an academic department which is a 
 member of the University. This provision shall not be deemed to 
 prevent such school from receiving tuition from the State for such 
 nonresident pupils as may be instructed in the academic depart- 
 ment during the year as provided by section 493 of the Education 
 Law, unless it was admitted after January 15th, in which event 
 it may recei\e tuition for only the last half of the year. Academic 
 pupils counted for apportionment shall be those who have passed 
 all preliminary or preacademic subjects or who hold credentials 
 approved by the President of the University as the equivalent of 
 the preliminary certificate and are enrolled in a secondary school 
 of the University. 
 
 § 33 Consolidation. If two schools unite, the apportionment due 
 both for the current year shall be paid to the one, except that 
 only one quota of $100 shall be paid. Tf an academy becomes the 
 academic department of a union school by lease or adoption, the 
 apportionment due the academy for the current year shall be paid 
 to the union school on the report of a University inspector that 
 the work is satisfactorily continued, but only one quota of $100 
 shall be paid to any one institution in the same year. 
 
 § 34 Tuition of nonresident pupils. No school shall be en- 
 titled to compensation from public moneys for the tuition of non- 
 resident academic pupils unless such pupils w^iile under instruction 
 
 a Resided in a district of this State which did not then contract 
 for the instruction of academic pupils under sections 580-86 of 
 the Education Law, with another district maintaining an academic 
 department approved under this act of a grade that the pupil is 
 qualified to enter. 
 
 b Resided in a district of this State Avhich did not then main- 
 tain an academic department approved under this act of a grade 
 that the pupil is qualified to enter. 
 
 c Were not then members of a teachers training class or train- 
 ing school, for whose tuition therein the State made other pro- 
 vision. 
 
 d Were in attendance at least eight weeks. 
 
 e Were duly qualified for admission in the manner directed by 
 the President of the University. 
 
 g 35 For books, apparatus, and reproductions of standard 
 works of art. To obtain an apportionment from the academic fund 
 
REGENTS RULES 37 
 
 for buying needed and suitable books, apparatus, or reproductions 
 of standard works of art, an institution must be registered as in 
 good standing in the University for that year and must show that 
 twice the amount of the appropriation asked for has been actually 
 expended for approved books, apparatus, or reproductions of 
 standard works of art. 
 
 § 36 Books, apparatus, and reproductions of standard works 
 of art allowed. Standard books for reading and reference, cyclo- 
 pedias when conditions warrant, reproductions of standard works 
 of art, and apparatus, including machinery, approved by the Presi- 
 dent of the University as essential for the proper teaching of 
 academic and preacademic subjects of approved courses, and, for 
 rural school districts, approved books, school apparatus, and repro- 
 ductions of standard works of art, may be included; but not un- 
 bound periodicals, professional or technical collections, series or 
 sets of books by different authors, musical instruments, singing 
 books or textbooks, furniture, fixtures, benches, chemicals or sup- 
 plies consumed in using. No duplication will be made for gifts of 
 books, apparatus, or reproductions of standard works of art, or for 
 charts, maps, globes or other school apparatus sold to the schools 
 through traveling agents or solicitors. 
 
 § 37 Protection against loss. Every allotment for books, appa- 
 ratus, or reproductions of standard works of art shall be made upon 
 condition that in case the institution is closed, falls below the stand- 
 ard of admission, or for any cause is dropped from the roll of the 
 University, then the purchases made with its apportionment and 
 wi'ch the equal amount raised locally shall be returned to the Uni- 
 versitv to be distributed to other similar institutions ; or, at the 
 option of the institution, it may return instead of such purchases 
 the total amount of money received from the University therefor. 
 
 ALLOTMENT OF PUBLIC LIBRARY APPROPRIATIONS 
 
 § 38 Conditions. Circulating libraries and reference libraries, 
 free to the public, maintaining required standards and registered 
 by the University, may receive annually, so far as the fund permits, 
 allotments equal to the money raised by them from other sources. 
 But no allotment shall exceed $ioo or be made for less than $5. 
 Allotments may be made to a branch library containing not less 
 than 1000 volumes, after it has been inspected and registered. 
 
 i; 39 Use of money. The state allotment and the local equiva- 
 lent must be spent for approved books, serials and first binding, 
 unless otherwise used by special written permission of the Presi- 
 
REGENTS RU1.es 39 
 
 dent of the University. New libraries or those reorganizing and 
 needing to use part of this money for cataloging, printing, or library 
 supplies may do so when the written permission of the President 
 of the University has been obtained in advance. A report of the 
 expenditure of library money must be submitted in the prescribed 
 form. So far as applicable, section 37 shall apply to libraries.

 § 54 Delinquent and dormant institutions. A new inspection 
 and written report to the Regents shall be made of each institution

 tion is dissolved, its books, records, and papers, unless otherwise

CHAPTER VI 
 THE COMPULSORY ATTENDANCE LAW 
 
 ^ 301 Physical and mental condition. If school authorities 
 dift'er with the person in responsible parental relation as to whether 
 a child between 8 and 16 years of age is in proper physical and 
 mental condition to attend school, the opinion of a reputable physi- 
 cian, appro\ed by the President of the University, shall be decisive. 
 
 >: 302 Record of attendance. To be accepted as the accurate 
 record which teachers are required by law to keep of the attendance 
 of all children between 8 and 16 years of age, each absence must 
 be accounted for in such record as either truancy, unlawful deten- 
 tion, or excused absence. 
 
 § 303 Absence or tardiness. A child who is required by law 
 to attend school should immediately after being absent or tardy 
 bring to the teacher a written excuse from parent or guardian 
 stating the reason for such absence or tardiness. More than two 
 unexcused absences in four consecutive weeks should receive serious 
 attention by school authorities and may warrant arrest and prosecu- 
 tion of offender. 
 
 § 304 Justifiable absence. Temporary illness in the family, 
 unusually bad roads or weather, and any unusual and reasonably 
 justifying circumstances, beyond the control of the child or the 
 person in responsible parental relation thereto, will excuse tempo- 
 rary absence from school. Absences of not more than a half day 
 in a week for instruction in music are excusable. 
 
 § 305 Equivalent instruction. The person having responsible 
 parental relation must provide equivalent instruction for a child 
 excluded from a public school because of failure to be vaccinated. 
 
 >J 306 Law suspended. The operation of the compulsory attend- 
 ance law may be suspended in a school district during the prev- 
 alence there of a contagious disease. 
 
 § 307 Indigent children. The local poor authorities must 
 furnish indigent children with suitable clothing, shoes, books, food 
 and other necessaries to enable them to attend school as required 
 by law. 
 
 § 308 Fines. Fines collected under section 625 of the Educa- 
 tion Law shall be paid to the county treasurers of the respective 
 counties. 
 
 § 309 Report. A report of the daily attendance at school of 
 all children between 8 and 16 years of age shall be made to the 
 
 121 
 
REGENTS RULES 
 
 123 
 
 Uiiiversity \vithin ten days after each calendar month by the school 
 authorities of all common school districts in the State. The school 
 authorities of union free school districts and cities shall also cause 
 to be transmitted to the University within ten days after each 
 calendar month report of all children between 7 and 16 years of age 
 who had been illegally absent or tardy at any time during the last 
 preceding calendar month. 
 
 § 310 Attendance certificate. The 130 days' attendance certifi- 
 cate provided for in section 630 of the Education Law can be 
 properly signed and issued only by the superintendent of schools in 
 each city and village employing such superintendent; or, if there 
 be no such officer, or if he be absent or his office vacant, by the 
 alternate nearest in succession who is present and able to act. 
 In all school districts not employing a superintendent of schools, 
 the school record certificate shall be signed and issued only by the 
 principal or i)rincii)al teacher of the school. 
 
 § 311 Certificate of indebtedness. If at any time the local 
 school authorities shall not have on hand funds available for the 
 prompt payment needed for the expense attending the commitment 
 and cost of maintenance of any truant or truants, such authorities 
 may borrow the money required, upon interest, and issue therefor 
 a truancy certificate or certificates of indebtedness, which shall 
 specify the particular use or uses for which the money was obtained. 
 Upon the disbursement of such money, original and duplicate 
 vouchers shall be taken and the original delivered to the holders 
 of the respective certificates which specify the particular purposes 
 for which the said moneys were to be used. Such certificates shall 
 be transferable by indorsement and shall clothe their lawful holders, 
 in succession, with the right and power to collect' payment thereon 
 in due time from the respective city, village, district or county, 
 ultimately chargeable, under the compulsory education law, with 
 the payment of such expenses of commitment and cost of main- 
 tenance.

 stances, enter the examination more than 45 minutes late : and no 
 candidate shall leave the room within 45 minutes after the distri- 
 bution of question pai)ers unless accompanied by an examiner, who

 A clock should be in sight of the candidates. Lacking this, 
 notice should be given before the close of the examination at 12.15 
 and 4.15. 
 
 Candidates taking more than one morning subject and desiring 
 to take one or more afternoon subjects must hand in the last morn- 
 ing paper before 2 p. m. The first paper of the afternoon must 
 be handed in by 4.15 p. m. This rule must not be construed as 
 giving more time to any subject than is indicated on the question 
 paper in that subject. 
 
 Candidates may take as many of the examinations scheduled for 
 any session as they can w'rite within the time allowed, provided that 
 the principal or district superintendent of schools in charge of the 
 examination is satisfied that the candidate's physical strength is 
 not overtaxed thereby. In case a candidate desires to take more 
 than one subject in a single session the time may be extended from 
 three hours to five hours provided the rules be strictly observed, 
 but under no circumstances will permission be given to extend the 
 time to more than five hours.

 blackboard work must be completely covered or removed. Candi- 
 dates shall not communicate in any way. They must rely solely 
 on their own judgment as to the meaning of each question. 
 
 / Opening of on'elops and collection of ansivers. The prin- 
 cipal or district superintendent of schools must retain the question 
 papers securely in his own possession, and under no circumstances 
 allow any question paper envelop to be opened till the exact time 
 arrives for examination in that particular subject. 
 
 Questions must be given out and answers collected punctually 
 at the time fixed on program and question papers. Under no 
 circumstances will answer papers be accepted unless the examina- 
 tion is actually held during the same hours as in the other places of 
 the State. 
 
 g N^o explanation of questions. No one under any circumstances 
 may explain questions or criticise or inspect the answer papers dur- 
 ing the examination. The person in charge shall make no statement 
 of any kind regarding the questions after they are opened, except 
 in case of a typographic error, when he may direct, either orally or 
 on the blackboard, any needed correction to be made, but shall 
 include a full statement of any such correction in his report of the 
 examination. 
 
 § 334 Reporting of examinations, a Certificates of those in 
 charge of conducting examinations. Each principal, district super- 
 intendent of schools or teacher assisting in conducting the examina- 
 tion or marking the answer papers, must certify that to the best of 
 his knowledge and belief the letter and spirit of all rules have been 
 faithfully observed, and that there has been no indirection of any 
 kind. Every paper should bear the name of the person who 
 marked it. 
 
 b Examination of papers. In all examinations held in academic 
 schools, the principal or deputies must examine all papers, and no 
 paper should under any circumstances be included in the certificate 
 of claims unless in the principal's judgment it merits not less than 
 the passing standing, has all incorrect and omitted answers dis- 
 tinctly marked in red ink or red pencil, has the required declara- 
 tion subscribed, and conforms to the rules in all other respects. 
 Answer papers once handed in must in no case pass from the 
 custody of the examiners until they have been finally marked. All 
 papers in arithmetic, elementary English, geography, elementary 
 United States history with civics and spelling claimed at 75 per 
 cent or above, except those written by candidates for teachers

REGENTS RULES I33 
 
 intendent of schools for at least one year, subject to the call of 
 the University. All other papers claimed at the minimum passing 
 mark or above should be forwarded to the University together 
 with the original and duplicate report which should contain in 
 strictly alphabetic order the names of all pupils for whom papers 
 are claimed. 
 
 § 335 Fraud in examinations, a Cases to be reported. Exam- 
 iners shall report to the University all cases of apparent fraud in 
 connection with examinations by or under its authority, and notify 
 the candidates affected that their papers will not be accepted unless 
 satisfactory explanations shall be made within a reasonable time. 
 
 b Penalty for fraud in examinations. A candidate who with 
 fraudulent intent endeavors to obtain any credential of the Uni- 
 versity shall be debarred from entering any Regents examination 
 till admitted by special permission from the University after writ- 
 ten application, and any credentials already issued to him shall be 
 subject to cancelation. This rule includes the use of unfair means 
 to pass an examination, alteration of any Regents pass card or 
 other credential, an intentional misrepresentation in connection with 
 Regents examinations or credentials. In this connection also the 
 attention of examiners and candidates is called to section 67 of 
 the Education Lavv', which makes fraud in examinations a mis- 
 demeanor. 
 
 c Candidates not to zvithdraw from sight of examiner. If a 
 candidate withdraws himself from the sight of the examiners his 
 examination must be closed. This rule permits a candidate to with- 
 draw from the room and return only in case he is accompanied by 
 an examiner who can make the rec[uired affidavit that the candidate 
 was at no time out of his sight. 
 
 § 336 Instructions to candidates, a General directions. Before

 tions or other aids in answering any of them." 
 
 Every set of answers lacking this declaration, however satis- 
 factory in other respects, will be rejected. 
 
 Schools preferring may have printed copies of the prescribed 
 declaration conspicuously posted in the examination room, requir- 
 ing pupils to subscribe to it by writing merely the formula " I do 
 so declare " followed by their signatures.
