CJ ANNOUNCEMENT : Since 1911, v/hen 
 the State Board of Education granted to the 
 University of Southern California the right 
 to issue recommendations for High School 
 Teachers’ Certificates, the Preparatory School 
 has been transformed into a model secondary 
 school. In furnishing training classes for grad- 
 uate students, who are required by law to 
 have a semester’s experience in practice-teach- 
 ing, it has become an integral part of the 
 Department of Education of the University. 
 The school as now organized is conducted 
 under the direction and tuition of the Head 
 Professor of Education, a competent principal, 
 a supervisor of class instruction, and a faculty 
 of assistant instructors, who hold one or more 
 degrees from colleges and universities of first- 
 rate standing. This plan secures for the 
 patrons of the school the peculiar educational 
 advantages of a large faculty with corres- 
 pondingly small classes in which instruction is 
 given with the oversight of expert teachers. 
 
 €| In order to provide for this model school a 
 select class of students, the Board of Trustees 
 has recently authorized the President of the 
 University, beginning September, 1914, to 
 limit the number of students to 150, and to 
 reduce the tuition fee from $45.00 to $25.00 
 
a semester. Hereafter, therefore, students 
 who desire admission to the University high 
 school will be required to procure from the 
 principal a blank form of application on which 
 they will state their scholastic attainments and 
 references as to moral character. All appli- 
 cations will be placed on file in the order in 
 which they are received, and those that come 
 in after the limited number has been reached 
 will be placed on the waiting list.

 graduate study, including Methods of Teach- 
 ing, and Observation. These classes are 
 under the immediate supervision of the De- 
 partment of Education, and the heads of the 
 respective departments of the University. 
 
 q TEACHERS’ CONFERENCES: Dur- 
 ing the scholastic year there are held weekly 
 conferences for the purpose of considering 
 the daily problems of school instruction and 
 administration, and the application of edu- 
 cational theory to practice in teaching. Fre- 
 quent private conferences are also held, when 
 each teacher’s class-room work is reviewed 
 and commented upon, and such suggestions are 
 offered as will make the teacher’s work 
 efficient.

 sity Training School offers standard high- 
 school courses of study, each giving a thor- 
 ough preparation for entrance to college, and 
 leading to a diploma of graduation. Fifteen 
 units of credit are needed to fulfill the re- 
 
quirements for graduation, and must be made 
 up as follows: Two years each of English, a 
 foreign language, and mathematics; one year 
 each of a science, United States history and 
 civics, and seven units of elective subjects. 
 
 q REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMIS- 
 SION : Applicants upon presentation of their 
 grammar school diplomas or other credentials, 
 giving evidence of fitness to begin high school 
 work, will be admitted without examination. 
 Special students who wish to select their own 
 studies will be allowed to take such subjects 
 as they may be prepared to pursue. 
 
 ^[DISCIPLINE: Proper discipline being a 
 primal feature of all training, careful atten- 
 tion is given to the student’s conduct in the

 on the grounds. All the members of the 
 faculty are required to share the responsibility 
 of the general oversight of the student’s 
 behavior. 
 
 CHAPEL EXERCISES: Religious exer- 
 cises are conducted during the Assembly 
 period on Monday, Wednesday and Friday of 
 each week. Unless excused for sufficient rea- 
 son every student is required to attend.
