A sim ilar schedule governs th e assignm ent o f girls.
A study of the above schedule show s that each boy in school is required
som etim e during the three prevocational y e a -i to com plete satisfactorily
eleven industrial subjects. The purpose of this requirem ent is to giv e each
boy a broad, practical vocabulary, one that will be o f us? to him in any voca
tion and at th e sam e tim e to g iv e him sufficient training in each subject to
enable him to choose intolligently th? vocation for wh ch he is best fitted by
nature.
The vocational com m ittee has no authority to change an y requirem ents of
the course. It can how ever, credit pupils with work com pleted, upon the
presentation of satisfactory evidence or by passing an exam ination on the
work o f the detail.
