and study of insect pests, and plant diseases, in so far as these can be arranged in advance. As above stated, two-fifths of the course should be practical outdoor work. About one-fifth of the course should be devoted to laboratory exercises. The remaining two-fifths of the time should be given to the study of texts and references and desk work such as preparation of note books, drawing plans for orchards, truck farms, and ornamental planting, plans for drying yards, packing houses, etc.

19e'. Horticulture. (11⁄2 units.)

A half-year course of five periods per week, or the equivalent to be devoted to such portions of the requirement for 19e as are adapted to any school where a full year course may not be given. This course may be arranged to extend throughout the year with work equivalent to at least two and one-half periods each week.

19f. Fourth-year subject. Farm Mechanics, Farm Architecture and Farm Management. (3 units.)

The fourth-year work should consist of an elementary study of the more important topics dealing with farm mechanics, farm architecture and general farm management or farm economics; that is, a study of the machinery needed on the farm, and its uses, the planning and construction of farm buildings, and the things that make up farm work and life in their relation to each other.

The first half-year may well be divided between farm mechanics and farm architecture, the last half-year being devoted to problems of general farm management.

The work in farm mechanics should include a study of the kinds, conconstruction and operation of farm machines gained through examination, taking down and setting up, and observation or actual practice with machines in the field. Some time should also be given to the study of the kinds, construction and uses of farm motors.

The study of farm architecture should include the planning and construction of farm buildings and of farm water supply and sewerage sys

tem. There should be practice in the designing and drawing of farm houses, barns, stables, poultry yards, hog houses and other farm buildings, accompanied by a study of materials and calculations as to the quantity and cost of materials and labor for these buildings. Attention should also be given to the convenient, artistic and sanitary arrangement of farm buildings, and grounds. If possible, there should be some practice in the actual construction of farm buildings, or at least in the making of models of such buildings.

The work in general farm management should include a study of capital and labor on the farm and choice of a farm, the outlay of a farm, systems of farming, marketing problems, the keeping of records and accounts and some consideration of co-operation and other problems of rural social life.

19f'. Farm Mechanics, Farm Architecture and Farm Management. (11⁄2 units.)

A half-year course of five periods per week or the equivalent to be devoted to such portions of the requirements for 19f as are adapted to any school where a full year course may not be given. This course may be arranged to extend throughout the year with work equivalent to at least two and one-half periods each week.

Explanatory Note-The total number of units offered by a school giv ing all the full length courses would be 15, that is 19a (3) + 19b (11⁄2) 19c (3) +19d (1%) + 19e (3) + 19f (3). It is not likely that many schools will offer all these and many will probably prefer to offer halfyear instead of year courses in certain subjects as listed above.

The total amount of credit that may be used toward university matriculation is now 9 units.

20a. Economic Geography. (11⁄2 units.)

Five periods a week for one half-year.

Economic geography should be considered as an aspect of general geography, rather than as a distinct branch of the science. It should be based on the general principles of mathematical, physical and biogeography. While including a study of countries, products, trade routes, etc., the chief emphasis of the course should be placed on the relations which exist between the fundamental principles of geography and the economic interests of man.

206. Commercial and Industrial History. (3 units.)

This subject should comprise, in broad outline, the development of commercial and industrial activities in the western world. It should

discuss such subjects as the economic inheritance from Rome and the East; the gradual renewal of trading activity after the Teutonic invasions; the revival of commerce under Arab influence; the growth from village to town economy; the Renaissance in Italy and the commercial supremacy of the city republics; the Age of Discovery and the development of economic "nationalities'; the industrial revolution and the conception of international division of labor; modern international trade and its significance, etc. Emphasis should be laid on the interaction of political and economic factors in the growth of Western civilization; on the evolution and decay of economic institutions''; and on "movements," rather than the facts of any particular period.

20c. Bookkeeping. (3 units.)

A knowledge of the principles of double entry bookkeeping, based on five double periods weekly for one year, or its equivalent.

20d. Stenography and Typewriting.

(3 or 6 units.)

Work in these subjects normally covering one year will be given a credit of 3 units; the work of two years will be given a credit of 6 units, with the following conditions:

Not more than one-fourth of the accredited work is to be typewriting. For 3 units credit, the student should be able to take stenographic dictation at the rate of 75 words per minute. For 6 units, the rate is 125 words per minute.

The student must also have ability to transcribe notes satisfactorily on the typewriter.

21. Music. (3 to 9 units.)

21a. Sight-singing and Dictation; Symbols and Terminology of Musical Notation. (3 units.)

1. Ability to read, without hesitation, at sight, in good rhythm, a given simple melody in any commonly used key (major or minor) containing occasional notes out of the scale, but no very remote modulations, i.e., not beyond dominant or subdominant or relative major or minor.

2. Ability to write in musical notation (G and F clefs) marking proper meter (2, 3, or 4) any simple melody when played or sung at dictation. Familiarity with the three primary triads is useful, but not required. 216. Elements of Composition; Diatonic Harmony and Structure. (3 units.) Harmonic series. Intervals. Erection (major) of the three primary triads. Root position, inversion and doubling in major. Formation of scales. Relations of scale constituents to root and their tendencies. Consonance and dissonance. Chord connection in four parts. Harmonizing of melodies. Elements of melodic construction; cadence; phrase and

double phrase. Minor mode.

use.

Secondary triads (II, VI, III) and their Dominant seventh and its use. Other sevenths (within the key). Suspension and retardation. Modulation (simple). Anticipation and embellishment.

For students who continue the study of music in the University credit for subject 21b should be preceded or accompanied by credit in subject 21a.

21c. Instrumental or Vocal Technique. (3 units.)

1. Ability to perform with satisfactory technique and intelligent interpretation one or more numbers in one of the following sections:

(a) Pianoforte: Bach, "Well-Tempered Clavichord," Prelude or Fugue; 2 and 3 part Inventions; Mozart or Beethoven, a sonata; Chopin, study, nocturne or prelude of moderate difficulty.

(b) Violin: Bach, Handel, Mozart, Beethoven, a sonata; Rode, Fiorillo, a study of moderate difficulty; Viotti, Spohr, a concerto.

(c) Exceptional technique upon any other orchestral instrument may be given credit in manner similar to above.

(d) Voice (well placed and trained): Bach, Mozart, Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, Franz, Wagner, songs; or an aria by an old Italian master.

2. Test is made of the ability to read at sight a short piece of moderate difficulty.

21d. History of Modern European Music, about 600-1900. (3 units.)

Understanding of broad musical terms such as rhythm, melody, harmony; scales, counterpoint, fugue, sonata-form, symphony, quartette, sonata, a capella, orchestra. Difference between meter, rhythm and tempo, etc.

Outline of history of three great periods (men and works): Palaestrina-Bach, Bach-Beethoven, Beethoven-present day.

Understanding of the principles and materials of music and appreciation of the broad trend of general development is to be preferred to obscure information and doubtful biographical detail.

METHODS OF ADMISSION

1. ADMISSION BY EXAMINATION

Times and Places of Examination

Matriculation examinations are held in August and in January of each year; but the examinations in January are primarily for the purpose of enabling students in the University to remove matriculation deficiencies. Applicants for admission who present certificates from their teachers that they are prepared in the subjects they offer will be admitted to the January examinations. Such certificates must be filed with the Recorder of the Faculties before the examinations.

No person save a registered student of the University will be allowed to take any matriculation examination without having first filed an application for admission.

A circular concerning the matriculation examinations may be obtained by addressing the Recorder of the Faculties.
