R, ll. 5. 5liARCllLlGH'li 39 Photo by Richford Studio GLEE CLUB General Regulations Until proven otherwise, it is always as- sumed that pupils will conduct themselves as ladies and gentlemen. Lock-setp disci- pline is carefully avoided and there are as few rules as possible. Pupils will lie held responsible for all willful or careless damage to the building or equipment. The consent of the principal must be obtained before arranging any athletic ev- ent, social function or entertainment of any kind. The school recognizes the right to ex- ercise control over students at all times in so far as their conduct can be shown to have an ellect upon the general ,flood of the school. Textbooks are supplied free of charge in Classes 1 and 2. In the other classes they must be provided by the pupil. Pupils whose homes are outside of-Rich- ford are not to be away from homes in which they board after eight o'clock on any evening preceding a school day, unless by special permission of the principal. Parents and other adults are welcome at the school at all times and are especially invited to visit and inspect the work in the recitations and laboratories. The autho- rities welcome with enthusiasm all intelli- gent and sympathetic criticism. A puipl of ordinary ability in Class 1 will probably not need to do more than a moderate amount of studying outside of school hours, if he employs his school time to good advantage. The amount of work gradually increases until the senior high school, in which the work is so planned as to require in most cases at least two hours study per day outside school hours to pro- duce satisfactory results. Parents are asked to see that this is complied with. Parents can also help in the matter of absence and tardiness. The pupil is expected to present to the principal at the first ses- sion of the school after an absence an excuse signed by either parent, stating ex- plicitly the reason for the absence. The principal reserves the right to demand a physician's certificate in cases which in his judgment call for such a step.

38 R. H S. SEARCHLIGHT - Tuition A tuition fee of S50 per year, payable in installments of S25 each must be paid by all students whose legal residence is outside Richford. If the pupil lives in a Vermont town which does not maintain a high school his home town is legally obliged to pay this fe ' Marking System A marking system is in use whereby the amount of credit given is proportional to the achievement. The excellent student is given more credit than the pupil who just passes. In addition to this, the student who has great difficulty with one subject can balance his shortage in that subject by his extra credit in some study in which he is more proficient. The grades used are as follows: E--Excellent fhighest grade possiblej S-Superior M-Medium I-Inferior PiPoor falmost failurej U-Unsatisfactory ffailurel M is the commonest grade. It is intend- ed to indicate ordinary work-i. e., the Work which is usually done by an ordinary pupil under ordinary conditions. Credit is given twice a year. A pupil who each year does M work in four studies each of which has five prepared recitations per week will at the end of each half year be credited with 4 points in each study. This amounts to 16 points per half year, 32 points per year and 192 points for the entire six years. Unless by special permission, each pupil must carry the equivalent of not less than 20 prepared recitations per week. One hundred and ninety-two points is the minimum amount of credit for graduation. If a pupil is graded E in a subject, he gets 2596 more points in that subject than lie would if his mark were M. S gives 1521 more credit than M. I gives 1576 less credit than M. P gives 25W less credit than M. The pupil who gets I or P in one or more subjects makes up the shortage in credit by extra credit in some other subjects in which he is able to get S or E, or else by taking extra studies. A pupil who is graded U in a required subject must repeat it the following year. A pupil who is graded U in an elective study may at the principal's discretion be obliged to repeat the study if his failure is due to negligence. Promotion is by subject, not by grade. A large proportion of pupils find it easy to get materially more than the minimum amount of credit. Any pupil of sound mind, who does a proper amount of work will have no difficulty in keeping his credit account up to the normal. Proportionally less credit is given for a study in which there are less than five re- citations per week or for a study for which preparation outside of class is not regularly required. Printed schedules showing the exact number of points credited for a half-year's work with any given grade in any study can be had at the principal's office. REPORTS Complete, formal reports are sent to the parents at the end of each half-year. Special reports, printed on white paper are issued frequently to pupils doing unusually good work in any subject. Emergency reports, printed on blue paper are sent frequently to the parents of pupils doing unsatisfactory work in any subject. College Certification This school is on the approved list of the New England College Entrance Certifi- cate board. This means that pupils may en- ter most colleges of New England and the Western and Middle Western states without examination, if the principal feels justfied in granting a college entrance certificate. He may certify a student in some subjects and not in others. Ordinarily he will not certify in a subject in which the pupil has received a grade lower than S or E, never below M. A pupil who plans to go to college should seek the advice of his teachers as to the selection of his studies, study the en- trance requirements of his prospective col- lege as shown by the catalogues on file in the school library and make out his high school course accordingly. Thus, disap- pointment may bc avoided.
