countersignature of the parent, to the principal of the high school not later
than the second week of the school year, requesting permission to take ap-
plied music for a specific amount of credit with a private teacher properly
accredited by the State Department of Education. When approved by the
principal, one copy of the application should be signed and retained for the
school office, and the other copy signed and returned to the student, who will
present the approved application to the accredited private instructor when
registering with such instructor for work with credit. The teacher shall
submit to the principal, on a form provided by the school, a monthly report
of the work done by the pupil. At the close of each semester, each pupil

by the University School of Music. The nature and the scope of each
examination shall be determined by the University School of Music.
