268 PREPARATORY SCHOOL 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, 1898, these examinations occur on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, the 8th, 9th, and 10th of September; for the winter and spring terms, on the two days previous to the opening of each term.

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.
