One term’s study in any subject in the course successfully done entitles the pupil to one point, except in drawing, wherein two terms’ work is required for one point. All graduate- courses include 32 points. If, after an effort of a full term’s work on each snbject, the pupil shall fail on four points or less to make his 32 points, he will be allowed to graduate on at least 28 points. This school will not confer graduation upon pupils who have not been members of it for at least one year. Pupils entering this school from other institutions of secondary education of good standing, will be allowed credit for work done at such institutions; provided their standing at this school will justify such course; and provided further, that they may be required to pass an examination in any study for which they claim credit. 60% is the passing average in each study. Honorable mention will be made of those entitled to diplomas A. B. C. 9 DlPIiOMAS. Diplomas are issued according to merit, of five ranks, A. B. C. D. E., the requirements for which are respectively as follows : For Rank A — Thirty-two points with an average on all of 94, or Thirt}^ points with an average on all of 96, or Twenty-eight points with an average on all of 98. For Rank B. — Thirty-two points with an average on all of 88, or 'Thirty points with an average on all of 90, or Twenty-eight points with an average on all of 92. For Rank C. — Thirty-two points with an average of 80 on all, or Thirty points with an average of 82 on all, or Twenty-eight points with an average of 84 on all. For Rank D. — Thirty-two points with an average on all of 70. Thirty points with an average on all of 72. Twenty-eight points with an average on all of 74.

They are expected to remain in the building five minutes daily after the close of school. 2. Teachers will report their own tardiness in writing to the Principal on the day it occurs. 3. Teachers will not admit any pupils to their classes, except those regularly promoted, without receiving written permission from the Principal. 4. Teachers will report each day to the Principal all cases of absence from their attendance rolls and all cases of tardiness. 5. Teachers will report to the Principal the names of all pupils who are absent from their classes. Such reports will be continued until notice is received from the Principal that the pupil has left the School. 6. Teachers will not admit to their classes any pupil who has been absent, unless he furnish a written excuse from the Principal. 7. Teachers will be prepared to report at regular weekly teachers’ meeting on all pupils whose work is unsatisfactory. PUPILS. I. Pupils who enter the High School are expected to pur- sue one or the other of the above courses regularly, as it is marked out, pursuing not less than three studies at a time, unless for good and sufficient reasons. 20 2. Pupils shall conform themselves to the studies pre- scribed for the year in which they enter, and shall not be allowed to select studies from the advanced years, unless by special permission from the Principal. 3. In order to keep the standard of graduation well ad- vanced, and to maintain a reputation for thoroughness and good discipline, pupils must be diligent in their work, faith- ful in the discharge of duty and moral and exemplary in their conduct. 4. It is to be understood that the pupils place is in the assembly room when not attending recitation elsewhere. No one is permitted to be in any other part of the building during the session without permission of the Principal or of the teacher in charge of the assembly room. 5. Pupils coming to school at irregular hours must enter their assembly room immediately. Loitering about the halls or the front door of the building, or the boiler room, or base- ment, or closets, is forbidden at all times. Pupils excused before close of session must leave the building and its vicinity immediately. Violation of any part of this rule will forfeit the special privilege granted. This rule is especially to be observed by post-graduates and special students coming for a part of the day only. 6. Pupils tardy or absent, whether from roll call or reci- tation, will report to the Principal for admission before going to class or roll. 7. Pupils will not be allowed to go home or leave the building to be absent for any part of the day unless they have permission of the Principal or someone designated by him. 8. Boisterous or noisy conduct on the school premises is forbidden. Pupils must conduct themselves in a quiet, orderly manner at all times in the building, and they must not loiter in the halls or stairways between the hours of 8:55 and 12:00 in the forenoon, and 12:45 and 2:15 in the afternoon. 9. No pupil will be allowed to remain in the buildings longer than fifteen minutes after school is dismissed for the day, unless he have permission of the Principal and of the teacher in whose room he is to stay, or unless he be in attend- ance on a regular meeting of one of the High School Literary, Scientific or Musical Societies. 10. Pupils may be suspended for the following causes: (a) For frequent tardiness or for truancy. (b) For being absent six half days in any four consecu- tive weeks without good and sufficient excuse from parent or guardian, given either in person or by note. 21 (c) For defacing or injuring any school property malic- iously or carelessly, provided the pupil refuses to pay all damages assessed for such injury. (d) For habitual neglect or disregard of duty; for using tobacco during school hours, or on or about the school prem- ises; for open disobedience or insubordination; for using profane or obscene language; for playing pool or frequenting pool-rooms during school hours; for such misbehavior on the street in going to or coming from school as reflects discredit upon the school and puts at naught its discipline, or for avoid- able absence from examination. (e) For forging the name of parent or guardian to ex- cuses. This will include all such subterfuges as excuses written and signed by unauthorized persons. 11. Pupils who do not maintain a grade of at least 6o per cent, in any study may be required to drop one or more studies until they have sufficiently improved their standing in those studies in which they are deficient. 12. No pupil will be permitted at any one time to take more than four studies without the written request of his parent or guardian. No such request will then be granted unless the pupil is thought to be physically and mentally strong enough to do extra work, nor unless the record of the pupil is such as to justify his attempting it. 13. No pupil will be permitted to drop a study without a written request from parent or guardian and permission from the Principal and the teacher of the subject in question, nor will he be allowed to change from one teacher to another, or from one class to another, without permission from the Principal and of the teacher of the subject in question. 14. Any pupil may be compelled to drop one or more studies if it is known that he is trying to carry more than his health or ability will permit. 15. No work done out of regular classes shall be accept- ed as the equivalent of school work, except by special permis- sion of the Principal. Permission to make up by outside work studies in which a student has failed to pass in school will not ordinarily be granted, and never except on the per- sonal application to the Principal of the parent or guardian of the student wishing to do the work. No such work will be accepted as school work, unless arrangements for it have been approved in advance by the Principal. No student shall receive credit for such outside work until he has passed satis factory examinations under the supervision of the Principal. 22 HIGH SCHOOL. SOCIETIES. 1. No society shall be formed in the High School with- out the consent of the Principal. 2. All High School Societies must recognize the teach- ers of the High School as ex-officio members, and the latter shall have seat and voice at all meetings which they may attend. 3. All Societies must report to the Principal the names of their officers immediately after their election. 4. The High School Societies, through their chairman, must get permission of the Principal and of the teacher of the room to be used by them for the use of rooms in the High School buildings for the meetings of their respective Societies. Permission will be granted so long as the respective Societies take proper care of the rooms used by them, and so long as they conduct themselves in a way that will not reflect dis- credit upon the School. EXAMINATIONS. A final examination will be held at the end of each term. Pupils whose standing is doubtful are obliged to take this examination. Those whose standing is satisfactory may be excused from this examination at the discretion of the teacher. Any pupil who has a single unexcused absence must take the final examination. Six days absence during the term for illness will not prevent excuse from final examination. All pupils absent more than six days for any cause must take the final examination. Absence for parts of days affects only classes missed. Absence at the beginning of the term will make the final examination necessary, except for those who have not before been members of the school. Such absence, however, may be excused by the Principal if there is perfect regularity of attendance thereafter, and high rank in class is maintained. Any pupil not regularly required to take the final examination may be permitted to do so if he wishes. The results of a term’s work depend upon class work, exam- ination and the teacher’s estimate. Regular written examinations will be held at least twice each term and these will be given at regular class time. No one will be excused from these examinations. At the end of the term the pupils are ''passed,” ^‘not passed” or ''conditioned.” A pupil "not passed” must take the work over in class. A pupil "conditioned” must remove the condition as directed by the teacher. He may be permit- 23 ted to take a special examination, or he may be obliged to take part of the work again in class. Teacher’s records will always state definitely the nature of conditions. A condition must be removed within one term of its imposition, except in studies that are given but once a year, in which case conditions must be removed within one year. A condition not removed within prescribed time will be changed to ‘^not passed” and work must be taken again in class. Pupils will be held responsible for their own condi- tions. They cannot claim failure of notification of expiration of time as an excuse for not removing conditions. On remov- ing a condition a pupil will receive a certificate from his teacher. He should immediately take this to the Principal and have his record made good. Absence from any regular examination shall count as zero in the term’s work. No such examination may be made up before the next regular examination of the term, except with the written permission of the Principal. Work will be reported incomplete when such absence has occurred. CN 0 > 00 QC LU CQ lU H d. LU CO > o D h- CO O CO LU CO X D o o Q LU CO > LU q: o 0 1 0 CO 1 0 1 o 1 9 COMMERCIAL. liooK-lvet^ping-.
