Course of Study of Woodbury. High

From an outline of the course of study
adopted for our Eighth Grade and Higf
School, we make the following quotations:
''The Eighth Grade and the High Schoo
are conducted on the department plan.
Beginning with the eighth grade 9
pupil is not restricted to the work Of ont
year; pupil having taken a satisfactory
course in the eighth grade mathematics is
privileged to pursue the ninth grade mathe
matics. Such pupil must accommodate
himself to possible confictions in the
schedule of recitations. Similar privileges
and in the grades of high school.
''Pupils able to take more than the
allotted average for year are permitted tc
pursue additional studies, making it pos
sible for pupil to complete the four-yeal
course in shorter than the allotted time
The Principal, in conference with the
teachers, may restrict, for good cause made
known to the pupil, the number of sub
jects pursued, and no pupil shall pursue
extra studies unless consent be obtained
from the Principal who in giving his con-
sent shall be guided largely by recon.
mendations of the teachers, and by the
amount of time spent in the preparation Of
the daily lessons.
'sPupils suffering from i'll health, OF
pupils that are for some accepted good
reason unable to follow the sufficient num-
Der of subjects constituting years work,
are privileged to take such number OF
studies as can be satisfactorily pursued. In
case of i'll health a physicians certificate is
the best argument to promote relief from a
part of the work prescribed; in all other
cases those that have legal authority over
the child should seek a conference with the
Principal or with the teachers before relief
should be expected.
Graduation privileges and diploma OF
merit shall be given only after pupils have
satisfactorily attained at least the minimum
of credit units required for the completion
of the course.
Especial credit shall be given to each
pupil on his diploma for all work done in
addition to the minimum requirements.
'EWhile the course is amply broad to
prepare pupil for entrance to college, the
primary object in view is the giving OF a
symmetrical high school education allowing
as large a choice in elective studies as local
conditions will permit"
