PREPARATORY SCHOOL

of the early settlement of North America and of the growth and development of the United States, is required. A knowledge of the nature and operation of the forces active in American life is desired, rather than the memorization of isolated dates and names. Entrance should be made at the opening of "the term. Examinations are held in the rooms of the school. For the fall term, 1897, these examinations occur on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, the 2d, 3d, and 4th of September; for the winter and spring terms, on the two days previous to the opening of each term. Examinations on these dates are free, but for examinations at other times a fee of three dollars is charged. Examinations may be conducted in Illinois by county superintendents of schools in the same manner as for teachers' certificates, and their favorable reports will be accepted for entrance. First or second grade teachers' certificates from superintendents of Illinois will be taken for the.same purpose. On the written recommendation of their principals, students from the accredited schools of the University may be admitted without entrance examinations and credit will be allowed for all equivalent work already done. Blanks for such recommendations will be sent on application. COURSE OF STUDY The time necessary for the completion of the course offered is not fixed, but depends on the ability and previous training of the student. Applicants will be admitted at any time on presenting proof that they are prepared to pursue the selected subjects. Preparatory students generally carry four studies, one of which should be such as needs but little work outside of the class room. The number varies, however, with the ability of the student and the nature of the course.
