270 PREPARATORY SCHOOL 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 a semester. Examinations are held in the rooms of the school. For the first semester, 1899-1900, these examinations occur on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Monday, the 14th, 15th, 16th, and 18th of September; for the second semester Friday and Saturday, February 2 and 3, 1900. 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. ADMISSION FROM ACCREDITED SCHOOLS. 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.

Applicants will be admitted at any time on presenting proof that they are prepared to pursue the selected subjects.
