High School Pupils Must Do Thirty-two Months’ Work.

E. G. Bunnell, assistant state superintendent of public instruction, in answer to a number of inquiries, has insisted that pupils from certified high schools who go from there to commissioned schoolb must remain in the latter class of schools long enough to complete thirty-two months of high school work before graduation. Many of the certified schools have only six and one-half or seven months a year, and the commissioned schools seldom more than nine months. The course in the certified schools is for three years, hence tbe v certified courts, and one year in a commissioned school would give the pupil only from twen-ty-eight and one half to thirty months. “The state board of education .will insist on the enforcement of this rule.” raid Mr. Bunnell, “even to the extent of revoking commissions of high schools which graduate pupils with less than the required number t>f months’ work.” v • -
