Requirements for Diplomas
 Il points are required--1S in each of the first two years and l9 in each of the last two years. The figures after each study ipdicate the number of points credit.
 Aims of the Courses
 The aim of the Classical Course is to fit pupils for colleges granting the de. gree of Bachelor of Arts. Slight mod ifieations may be necessary for some colleges. It also gives an excellent training for normal schools. The ann of the General Course Is three.fold; l(D Ito fit pupils for seien- tif1c schools, or colleges granting the degree of Bachelor of Science; (2l to fit for normal schools; (Sl to give general and practical education to those who do not wish to pursue their studies further.
 The Commercial Course Is primarily to fit pupils for office work. Actual practice in an office has been planned as a part of the course. It also fits for normal schools.
 The Cooperative Course Is two year course, which will be benefit to those going to scientific schools. There are four practical departments for boys machine, textile, electrical, wood- working; and two for the girls-cook- ing and sewing.
 Cautions
 Algebra is absolutely essential for pupils who desire to study geometry or physics. Geometry and algebra are required by all colleges and some nor. maj schools. Review mathematics is required by many colleges. Pupils often avoid these studies and find themselves seriously handicapped when they wish to enter college. Pupils must maintain an average of so percent in any study in order to get A college certificate in that study. In case of failure that study must be made up before advanced work can be begun, i. C., Freshman English must be completed before Sophomore English is undertaken.
 Cooperation
 Home study is necessary for all, The amount will depend upon the individ ual and the quality of work which is expected py the parents. The school asks the hearty cooperation of the par ents in this respect and in regard to regular attendance. The principal and teachers will be glad to consult with pupils and parents in regard 10 the studies best suited to the plans of the parents.
