Pupils preparing to enter one of the California State Normal Schools are advised to register for Course I or Course II.

Note 1. The University of California will accept either Ancient or Modern Languages or both for admission. But since the University requires Latin for graduation from the Colleges of Letters and Social Sciences, and does not offer instruction in the first two years of high school Latin, students preparing to enter these Colleges must take at least two years of Latin. Latin is not required for admission to or graduation from other colleges.

Note 2. In the General Course, Third Year English will be required of all students who do not take at least two years of Foreign Language.

Note 3. One year of Science is required for graduation from the General Course. It may be taken in any year of the course.

Note 4. In electing Sciences and Music, students may choose electives from the preceding or succeeding year as well as from electives for the year in which the student is registered. General Science, if taken, must precede any other science. One year science will be required for graduation from any four-year course.

Note 5. A student will not be allowed to take more than the equivalent of four recitations per day unless by special agreement between the principal and the student’s parents.

Note 6. Except as provided in Note 7, sixteen credits, each requiring at least two forty-five-minute periods per day for recitations and preparation for one year will be required for graduation.

Note 7. One of the sixteen credits required under Note 6 will be granted for work in literary, athletic or other student activities (including debating, and choral and orchestral music) in student societies operating under the supervision of the principal or some faculty member designated by him. This credit shall be granted under rules established by the principal.

Note 8. No class shall be organized or maintained in the first or second year of any high school unless at the beginning of the year there shall be enrolled in the class not less than twenty-five students, provided that in the second year a course, which is a continuance of a first year course, may be maintained if not less than twenty students are enrolled therein.

Note 9. No class shall be organized or maintained in the third or fourth year of any high school unless at the beginning of the year there shall be enrolled in the class not less than fifteen students, provided that no class shall be suspended unless the same subject is being given in some other high school in this city.

Note 10. When any course is given in more than one high school, there shall be uniformity in text-books, and in the content of the course of study pursued.
