Course of $tudy and &ntral 1Information
During the past year the school building has been greatly enlarged
and thoroughly refitted. It is intended to accommodate eight hundred
pupils. Its laboratories, apparatus and general equipment are of the
best. *- : . . . - - - *
The school year hereafter is to be divided into two semesters.
Pupils will be regularly admitted in September and in February. Four
regular courses of study are provided, and may be taken at the option of
the student, with the consent of parents, on consultation with the Prin-
cipal.
With the exception of the English course the courses are identical
for the first year. After a year in High School pupils can judge better
as to their capacities and necessities.
In order to graduate a pupil must obtain a minimum of fifty credits.
Three credits are allowed for a year's work in any subject, with five
recitations weekly. Spelling counts as two credits.
For graduation, Physiology, Civics, Spelling, one year's work in
Drawing, (alternate days), and all the English work are required. These
count as fourteen credits. Other studies are elective. One may graduate
without Mathematics, or without any language except English, or with-
out any science except Physiology.
Pupils, however, are not allowed to take studies of the higher classes
unless their previous work has fitted them to take them profitably. A
year's work in Latin is required before taking a modern language.
Five-eighths of the pupils elect the Latin-Scientific course. Sixteen of
the second-year pupils took the Classical course last year. The Modern
Language course comes second in number of students.
To obtain the Latin-Scientific diploma, all the Latin and all the
Sciences of the course must be taken. The Classical course diploma is
awarded to those only who have completed the Greek and Latin of that
course. The Modern Language diploma requires one year in Latin,
three years in either French or German, and one year in an additional
moderu language. To meet the requirements of some colleges, two
years in French and two in German must be taken. Those who obtain
the requisite credits, but have not conformed to any course, receive a
special diploma.
Manual Training, (wood-work only) will be added to the course this
year. A special teacher will have charge of this department. A five-
horse-power electric motor, four lathes and benches and tools for classes
of sixteen are provided.
Spelling in all courses until completed. Elocution is a part of the

English work. A special teacher, a graduate of the Cumnock School of
Oratory, is employed in this department.
The course in drawing is thorough and comprehensive. Many of
our pupils devote themselves to art as a profession.
The work is planned to suit the averge pupil. Pupils of marked
ability are allowed to carry extra work, while pupils who can not carry
full work are recommended to take partial work and take more than
four years to complete the course. Pupils who carry a daily average of
87 per cent in any study are excused from final examinations. Those
who fall below 70 per cent in daily work are not examined.
All pupils are expected to study in the assembly rooms, unless
excused for special reasons. ge -
Pupils on entering the first year must pass a satisfactory examina-
tion on all the common English branches. Promotion certificates are
received from all the Evanston graded schools, and from the Chicago
Grammar schools. Other certificates will be considered, but not neces-
sarily approved.
The regular admission examinations will be held on Saturday, Sept.
8th, 1900, and on Saturday, Feb. 2d, 1901. Pupils who have examinations
to make up will present themselves on the same days.
The tuition is $45.00 per annum to all who are not residents of
Evanston Township, and must be paid in advance for each semester.
The Principal’s certificate will admit pupils without examination to
Northwestern University, Lake Forest University, University of Wis-
consin, Illinois State University, Michigan State University, Boston
University, Amherst, Cornell, Dartmouth, Williams, Bowdoin, Knox,
Wheaton, Wellesley, Smith, Mt. Holyoke, Vassar and Rockford Colleges.
The school is also affiliated with Chicago University. Pupils from the
school have entered Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Bryn Mawr, Baltimore,
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Colorado College, University of
Minnesota, Berkely College, West Point and Annapolis.
PRIZES.
The Alumni of the school offer a gold medal annually to the pupil
of the graduating class who makes the best record for the course. This
medal last year was awarded to Gertrude V. Taylor. The first prize in
declamation ($10 00), was awarded to Alexander H. Gunn, the second
($500), to Charles Bragdon. The Latin prize ($20.00) was awarded to
Luise W. Raeder. The prize of $1500 for best use of opportunities was
