Winter Term : Beginning on the Monday succeeding the first day of January and con- tinuing sixteen weeks. Summer Term : Beginning on the first Mon- day in May and continuing eight weeks. Sec. 46. The School Semesters.) In admin- istering the courses of study in the elementary, high, and Normal schools, the school year shall be divided into two semesters, one including the school months of September, October, No- vember, December, and January ; the other, the school months of February, March, April, May, and June; and, above the primary department, regular promotion in the various grades and years of all schools shall be made at the end of each semester. Sec. 47. Holidays.) Schools shall be closed on all legal holidays and on the day following Thanksgiving Day. By order of the President of the Board, any school may be closed on other occasions, but not to exceed three days in any one year. On the afternoon of the school days imme- diately preceding Lincoln's Birthday, Wash- ington's Birthday, and Memorial Day, suitable exercises commemorative of these holidays shall be held in the several schools, subject to the direction of the Superintendent. Sec. 63. Times of Graduation.) The gradu- ation exercises for the mid-year classes in the public schools shall not occur before Friday morning of the last week of the school month of January; for end-year classes, the gradua tion exercises shall not occur before the close of the afternoon session of school on the last Thursday of the school month of June; the schools shall continue in session until noon of the last Friday of the school month of June. Sec. 97. Medical Inspection of Pupils.) Pu- pils of the public schools shall be subject to examination by medical inspectors under au- thority of the Department of Health of the City of Chicago. Sec. 98. Vaccination Before Admission.) A pupil shall not be received into any public school without furnishing a physician's certifi- cate showing that he has been successfully vaccinated or otherwise protected against smallpox; nor shall a pupil who has not been vaccinated, or revaccinated within seven years, be allowed to remain in any school, unless he has had either smallpox or varioloid. Such vaccination certificate shall be preserved on file at the school of the principal. When a pupil is transferred from one school to another in the city, the certificate of vaccination shall accompany the transfer card. Sec. 99. Permits — Residence in District.) Pupils shall attend school in the districts in which they reside, except when given permits by the Superintendent to attend the schools in other districts. Questions concerning the legal residence of a pupil applying for a transfer from the dis- trict in which his parents or guardian resides shall be referred to the Secretary. Sec. 100. Conduct of Pupils.) Pupils shall obey the requirements of their teachers. They shall be polite in conduct, truthful and chaste in language, and studious during the school hours. They shall be punctual in attendance and correct in deportment. They shall be quiet and respectful in the streets about the school premises. They shall not mar, deface, nor in- jure in any manner whatever the desks or fur- niture of the school rooms, the walls or ceil- ings of the school buildings, nor the stairways, fences, and outbuildings on school premises. Sec. 101. Cleanliness.) Pupils shall be strictly required to be cleanly in person and dress. Those who fail to comply with this re- quirement, or whose clothing needs repair, may be sent home to be properly prepared for the school room. Sec. 102. Books and Equipment.) Pupils shall provide themselves with all needed books within one week after notice to that efifect shall have been given. No pupil shall be per- mitted to retain connection with any public school unless provided with books and other equipment required to be used in the class to which he belongs. But no pupil shall be ex- cluded for lack of such articles until the par- ent or guardian shall have been furnished by the teacher with a list of books or articles needed, and until one week shall have elapsed after the furnishing of such list without the necessary provision having been made for such pupil. This rule shall not apply in cases where parents are unable to provide necessary books and equipment. Sec. 107. Absence and Tardiness.) Pupils who are present less than half of the school session shall be marked absent. The bell of each school shall ring five minutes before the hour for beginning school, by city time, and every pupil not in the school room when the hour arrives shall be marked tardy. In case of absence or tardiness pupils shall bring writ- ten excuses from parents or guardians not later than the day following such absence or tardiness. Sec. 108. Temporary Suspension for Ab- sence.) Pupils shall forfeit membership in the school if absent six half days in four consecu- tive weeks without an excuse from parent or guardian, given either in person or by written note, satisfying the teacher that the absence was caused by sickness of the pupil, by sick- 8 ness in the family, or by a bona tide desire to avoid serious and imprudent exposure, or by other unavoidable necessity; and the principal of the school shall forthwith notify the parent or guardian, and, in special cases, the Superin- tendent, of such forfeiture of membership by absence. No pupil shall be permitted by the principal to resume connection with the school until the parent or guardian has furnished the necessary excuse or has given satisfactory as- surance to the principal, and in special cases to the Superintendent, that the pupil will be regular in attendance in the future. In the application of the foregoing rule, two tardinesses shall be regarded as the equivalent of one unexcused absence; absence or dismis- sal for religious instruction or on a day held sacred by the parents shall be counted as ex- cused absence, provided a written request for such absence or dismissal shall have been pre- viously sent by the parent or guardian to the principal of the school. Sec. 109. Suspension and Expulsion.) Pupils may be suspended by the principal for a period not exceeding one month, for wilful violation of any of the duties of pupils or of any re- quirement, for leaving school without permis- sion, or for other sufficient cause. In extreme cases the Superintendent may suspend pupils for a longer period than one month, and they may be expelled by a vote of the Board for repeated violations of school requirements or for gross misconduct. Sec. 110. Contagious or Infectious Dis- eases.) Pupils affected with any communicable disease, or living in any building with persons thus affected, shall not be permitted to remain in the public schools. Whenever a truant officer, medical inspector, health inspector, or teacher of a school dis- covers that a child is absent from school on account of a contagious disease at the home of such child, or that a contagious disease exists in the house of a child attending school, such fact shall be at once made known to the prin- cipal of the school, whose duty it shall be to exclude temporarily children living in the building in which the disease exists, until dan- ger of contagion is past. The principal and the medical inspectors may adopt such pre- cautionary measures as they deem best to pro- tect the health of the school children. Sec. 111. Prizes and Special Awards.) Pu- pils in the public schools shall not be given prizes or special awards of any kind, except such prizes in the way of scholarship and op- portunities for further advancement as may be awarded to students in high schools and in the Chicago Xormal College. Sec. 113. Diplomas of Graduation.) Pupils who meet the requirements for graduation in the high schools shall receive diplomas certi- fying to their completion of the required courses of study.

Sec. 157. Admission.) Pupils who have been graduated from the public elementary schools of Chicago shall be admitted to the high schools without further examination. Pu- pils from other than Chicago public schools may be admitted by the Superintendent of Schools on trial to any grade, on presenting a principal's certificate of qualification for such grade, such certificate to show that the work of the previous grade has been fully made, as prescribed in the Chicago Graded Course of Study, and that the pupil has been in attend- ance at the school from which the certificate is issued at least one year. All other candi- dates from elementary schools for admission to the high school shall be required to pass an examination, to be conducted by the Ex- aminer near the close of the summer vacation, and at such other times as the Superintendent may direct.

College Preparatory Course.) Op- portunities shall be given for preparation for any college or technical school, if a desire for such preparation is made known early in the course and at the beginning of a semester. Sec. 161. Special Courses.) Any pupils of marked ability who shall accomplish any piece of valuable work along lines of individual re- search within the scope of the high school studies, and who shall submit the same, with conclusive evidence that the work is "ad- vanced" and the results are valuable, the work to be done during the last two years of the curriculum, shall receive such credit or cred- its for this work toward graduation as it shall be worthy of in the judgment of the principal and teachers. Sec. 162. Sequence of Studies.) Pupils shall not be allowed to take a study which is a natural sequence of one which has not been successfully carried. Pupils entering the first year shall not be allowed to take more than one foreign language, unless able to enter an advanced class in the second language. Sec. 163. Order of Semesters.) No pupil will be allowed to take the second semester of any subject until he has taken the first se- 10 mester of the subject, unless, in the opinion of the principal, the exigencies of the school pro- gram render it advisable. Sec 164. Semester credits in Commercial Studies.) All commercial studies are allowed semester credits, but for work in stenography, not less than two consecutive semesters' work will be accepted. Sec. 165. Semester Credits in Other Studies.) In foreign languages, in drawing, in music, and in physical education, not less than one year will be accepted toward graduation. All other subjects may receive semester credits. Sec. 166. Special Students.) Pupils regu- larly admitted to the high schools, who are not candidates for diplomas, may, at the request of parents or guardians, select any studies which are not in advance of their attainments, and continue them as long as they maintain an average record with the class. Sec. 167. Credits for Time Saved.) When- ever a pupil or class of pupils shall have com- pleted the course in any study in less than the average time assigned to that study, such pupil or pupils shall receive the full benefit of the time saved; and whenever pupils require or take more than the average time, such time will not be credited in the work required for the completion of the curriculum. Sec. 168. Promotion.) Pupils shall not be permitted to advance from one year to another, or to graduate from any of the high schools, except by special permission of the Superin- tendent, until they have passed a satisfactory examination in all the branches pursued dur- ing the preceding school year. Sec. 169. Monthly Reports.) All pupils in the high schools shall receive at the end of each half semester reports of their standing in scholarship, attendance, and deportment. These records shall be signed by the parent or guar- dian and promptly returned to the teachers for safe-keeping until the end of the semester. Sec. 170. Test of Proficiency. )The results of occasional tests, written and oral, together with the unbiased judgment of the teacher, with the approval of the principal, may con- stitute the basis upon which proficiency is reckoned. Sec. 171. Reports of Unsatisfactory Work.) Parents or guardians shall be informed once in every five weeks, or oftener as occasion may arise, when pupils by reason of lack of health, capacity, application, or other cause, fail to do satisfactory work, and special request shall be made for conferences with their parents or guardians, for the purpose of lessening the number of studies, changing them, or in some other way arranging to make the work of the school more profitable to such pupils. Sec. 174. Graduation Exercises.) Pupils shall receive their diplomas and have such class day or graduation exercises, or both, as the principal thinks appropriate, in their re- spective school buildings, unless permitted by 11 tke Board of Education on recommendation of the Superintendent to go elsewhere; provided, that no flowers or presents of any sort shall be given to the pupils at their -graduation exer- cises, and that every effort shall be made to confine the expense incident to such exercises to amounts within the means of the gradu- ates. Sec. 175. Scliolarsliips and other emoluments offered by colleges and universities, or by in- dividuals, to graduates of the high schools may be accepted on their behalf by the Superinten- dent, whenever it seems to be for the best in- terests of the pupils. Sec. 176. Secret Societies.) A secret so- ciety is a society whose name, constitution, by- laws, ritual, initiation, membership, qualifica- tion for membership, insignia of membership, meetings, activities are, or any one of which is, secret or within the knowledge of the members only or intended to be so. All persons attending the public high schools of the City of Chicago who are members of secret societies known as fraternities or sorori- ties, existing wholly or in part in any high school of the city, and carrying on such activi- ties as affect unfavorably the discipline and scholarship of the high schools, shall be ex- pelled from the public schools. Whenever pos- sible, rooms shall be set aside in each of the high schools for social use by the pupils, and every opportunity shall be granted them for an organized social life, membership in which shall be open to every pupil in the chool. Sec. 176a. It shall be the duty of each prin- cipal of a public high school in Chicago, within ten days after the admission of each person as a pupil in the high school to cause said pupil to write and sign, and it is hereby made the duty of each pupil to write and sign, the following statement : "Date "To the Principal of the School : I know that from this date until I am no longer a pupil in the public high schools of Chicago, if I have membership in, or if I am pledged to, a secret society, I shall be liable to expulsion, not merely suspension, from the high schools; further, if I am e.xpelled I can- not gain admission to membership in any pub- lic high school of the City of Chicago. "Written and signed by me this. . . .day of . . . ( Signature ) (School) Such statement shall be filed in the office of the principal.

COURSES OF STUDY FOUR YEAR COURSES Studies are grouped in courses for two pur- poses — indicating to parents and pupils the studies which best prepare students for any particular vocation or profession; and giving opportunities for doing more intensive work in certain definite lines of eflfort. Studies are separated into required and op- tional studies. Students must complete satis- factorily the required studies and sufficient optional studies to make seventeen credits be- fore being graduated from any particular course. Students preparing for college should select in addition to the required studies in a par- ticular course such other studies as are re- quired for entrance to the college of their choice. See A, B, and C on page 16. 1. General Course The General course is designed for those who wish a general education rather than a high degree of specialization. It prepares for college, for normal, engineering and scientific schools, and for business. At the beginning of the third year the student may select one of the two courses given or he may arrange his program according to the requirements for the third and fourth years of any other course. If he does the latter, he may, and in many cases must, substitute elementary work for ad- vanced work. 2. Science Course This course fits for the science course in any college or normal school, and gives an ex- cellent opportunity to students especially inter- ested in scientific subjects to pursue them in the high school. In this course one and a half years' work is offered in each of the following sciences : Physiography, Botany, Zoology, Chemistry, and Physics. In addition to these, one-half year each of Physiology, Geology, and Astronomy are offered. To graduate from this course a pupil must carry six years of science, of which one-half year must be Physi- ology. By the time a pupil reaches the third year of his course he will be expected to decide wheth- er his major work is to be in the biological sciences or in the physical sciences. A pupil must take not less than one and one-half years of biological science and not less than two years of physical science. 3. Normal College Preparatory Course The purpose of this course is to give the best possible preparation for entrance to the Nor- mal College. Although it may be possible to take other courses leading to the Normal College, it is believed that students who de- sire a general preparation for Normal training 13 should take the course outlined. In case other courses are selected, studies required for ex- amination for entrance to the Normal College must be included. 4. Commercial Course This course aims to give students an edu- cation which will prepare them to fill satis- factorily responsible positions as clerks, book- keepers, or stenographers, or to give a good education on general business lines. 5. Office Preparatory Course This is a continuation of the two-year voca- tional course in accounting and stenography, and offers an opportunity for a pupil to con- tinue four years in the high school and make a more thorough preparation for office work than could be obtained in two years. 6. Technical Course The purpose of this course is to prepare students for the technical industries, and for normal schools, technical schools, and colleges. 7. General Trades Course This is a four-year vocational course in- tended for those who do not expect to enter a college of engineering. By requiring but a semester in each of the three elementary shops and only two academic subjects per year after the first semester, it gives opportunity for double time in advanced shop-work or in draw- ing during the third and fourth years. 8. Household Arts Course This course aims to prepare students to be- come efficient home makers and also to prepare for lines of work pertaining to household eco- nomics or the textile trades. 9. Arts Course This course is designed for students inter- ested in freehand drawing, design, arts and crafts. 10. Architectural Course This course is planned for those who desire to become architects, or to do work in draft- ing rooms, and for those desiring a general course in mechanical drawing. 11. College Preparatory Course in Pharmacy This course is planned for those who desire to take a four years' high school course pre- paratory to a college course in pharmacy and at the same time to continue their apprentice work with druggists. TWO YEAR COURSES IN VOCA- TIONAL SUBJECTS Two-year courses in vocational subjects are offered in the high schools for those who do not expect or are not able to take a full four years' course in the school. Each two years' course has a major subject, which receives a specially large proportion of time and credit. A student pursuing such a course will be re- quired to follow it as outlined, in order to be well fitted for the occupation into which the major subject leads. Studies taken success- fully in the two year courses will receive credit towards graduation from the four year course. In addition to the studies specified in the course, a pupil must select sufficient studies from the list of optionals to bring the total credits for the two years' work up to 8.5. On the successful completion of any of the two year vocational courses, a certificate (not a diploma) will be awarded. 1. Course in Accounting This course aims to give the best possible preparation which can be made in two years by students who desire to do office work in the line of accounting; that is, to keep any ordinary set of books or do general office work not including shorthand. 2. Course in Phonography {Shorthand) It is believed that students who complete this course satisfactorily will be able to fill positions as stenographers in an acceptable manner. 3. Course in Mechanical Drawing The aim of this course is to give a thorough foundation in the principles of instrumental drawing. It is believed that students com- pleting this course satisfactorily will be well fitted to fill positions as draftsmen in machine shops or architects' offices. 4. Course in Designing This course aims to give the students the elementary principles of design as they are illustrated in its application to commercial art and craft work. It should fit students to be- come designers of garments, of household deco- rations, of ornaments, of advertising signs, etc. 5. Course in Carpentry The purpose of this course is to offer stu- dents who are not able to spend the time re- quired to take a four year course in manual training, an elementary knowledge of wood- working, with special application to carpen- try and cabinet making. 6. Course in Pattern Making The purpose of this course is to give stu- dents the principles of pattern making. It is believed that students who complete this course satisfactorily may, after a brief apprenticeship, become expert makers of wood patterns for metal castings. 15 7. Course in Machine Shop Work The purpose of this course is to give stu- dents a knowledge of the elementary prin- ciples of machine shop practice. 8. Course in Electricity This course aims to acquaint students with the elementar}' principles of electricity and their application, such as electric wiring and testing, the manufacture of electrical appli- ances, also finding the cost and the efficiency of the same. 9. Course in Household Arts This course aims to fit girls directly to be- come housekeepers or to earn a living as seamstresses, dressmakers, milliners or in some other occupation suitable for women. The course requires one year of cooking and one year of sewing. 10. Course in Printing The purpose of this course is to give stu- dents an elementary training in practical print- ing. 11. Course in Horticulture The purpose of this course is to give stud- ents an elementary knowledge of care and cul- ture of plants as applied to gardening and farming. A. A full year's work in United States His- tory is allowed in any course instead of United States History and Civics, if, in the judgment of the principal, such ar- rangement is preferable ; but in the event of this arrangement Civics is recommended as an elective subject for another semester. B. Students planning to enter Normal Col- lege with the intention of preparing to be- come teachers of Manual Training, House- hold Arts, or Drawing, are required to take the full high school course in Manual Training, Household Arts, or Drawing, re- spectively; and other students are advised to take the Normal College Preparatory Course. C. The following lists (pages 17 to 49) show the required subjects in each course, the first column of figures giving the number of periods per week and the second the total amount of credit for the work. 1.
