In general these studies meet the requirements for regular admission to any college or course in the University. Unless he is enrolled in the commercial course, it is necessary for every one to present for graduation four credits in English, three in history, two in mathematics, one in science, and one more from any of the academic subjects. Normally every student takes four years of physical education. To these he usually adds participation in some sport. The commercial course demands only three years' of English. In place of one of the usual history credits, the commercial student submits one in geography. The rest of the requirements are met by one half year of commercial arithmetic, one credit in bookkeeping, two in stenography, one in typewriting, onefhalf credit in penmanship and spelling, and onefhalf credit in oflice practice. To these he adds two and onefhalf credits in any of the elective courses. lI'4UlWlE1R TVA ILIES Wage 101
