ADMISSION 43

TRIGONOMETRY. % unit. The fundamental properties of the trigono-
metric functions, the addition theorem and the more important formulas
which follow from it; the solution of the various cases of right and double
plane triangles; the use of logarithmic and trigonometric tables.

Additional credit. % or 1 unit for work in algebra, trigonometry,
surveying or other mathematics; total credit not to exceed 4 units.

HISTORY, CIVICS, AND ECONOMICS

History. 1, 2, 3, or 4 units. History may be offered in the following
blocks of 1 unit each: ancient, ancient and medieval, European to approxi-
mately the end of the 17th Century, medieval and modern, modern Euro-
pean, English, United States. One, two, three, or four blocks may be pre-
sented. A real equivalent may be presented in place of a recommended
block, but a one-year course in general history will not be accepted.

Civics. % or 1 unit. This may comprise the study of government
in its relation to either the local community or the nation, or both. It may
be combined with history or economics in the construction of an elective
unit.

ECONOMICS. % unit. A knowledge of the fundamental principles of
economic science as presented in a good elementary treatise.
SCIENCE

BioLocy. 1 unit. This course should include plant biology, animal
biology, and human biology or physiology. The course should include dem-

onstrations by the teacher and individual laboratory work on the part of
pupils. Biology should be upon the same basis as physics and chemistry.

Botany. 1 unit. A study of the life histories of types from the main
groups of plants, with a series of simple physiological experiments. At
least two-thirds of the course should consist of laboratory work. If it is
impracticable to give a full year’s work to the subject, botany may be com-
bined with physical geography, physiology, or zoology to construct units.

CHEMISTRY. 1 unit. A study of the more common elements and their
compounds. This course should include about four or five actual hours of
work a week in the laboratory, and two or three periods a week in the
classroom throughout the year. Two laboratory periods are considered as
equivalent to one class exercise. A laboratory notebook must be kept.

Puysics. 1 unit. Not less than three classroom periods a week, and
not less than four actual hours of work a week in the laboratory. A record
of all work done should be kept in a notebook. Any standard textbook may
be used.

PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY. 1 unit. To include: (1) The principles as
presented in the best recent textbooks, which give adequate treatment of the
atmosphere and ocean, and emphasize the development and influence of top-
ographic forms. (2) Field study adapted to the locality; every candidate
must submit a statement of the field trips taken by him. (3) The inter-
pretation and habitual use, in the laboratory, of topographic maps, weather
maps, charts, and pictures. If it is impracticable to give a full year’s
work to the subject, physical geography, botany, physiology, and zoology
may be combined to construct units.
