The work in practice teaching may also be done in connection with the training school of any California state normal school.

Recommendations.-When the required graduate work is completed to the satisfaction of the university in which said work is done, such university shall issue to the candidate, on application, a formal recommendation to county and city and county boards of education stating that the candidate has satisfactorily completed all the requirements established by the State Board of Education for recommendations for the high school certificate in California, and that the candidate is worthy, in the judgment of the university issuing the recommendation, to receive a high school certificate in any county or city and county in this state, under the provisions of sections 1519, 1775, and 1792 of the Political Code of California.

If the candidate has elected to take one half-year of the required graduate work in an approved graduate school and the other half-year in a California state normal school, as provided in exemption 4 above, the university in which such graduate work is done shall recommend the candidate in the academic or non-professional work and the normal school in which the professional work is done shall recommend the candidate in such professional work.

Each recommendation shall state on its face the major and minor subjects which the holder thereof has taken in the institution or the kind of work the candidate is qualified to do.

In case the candidate has elected to spend one half of the graduate year in a California state normal school, following the special course for college graduates hereinbefore defined, the recommendation shall so state, and the president of such normal school shall make the recommendation covering the professional preparation of the candidate, and the recorder, registrar, or secretary of the university shall make the recommendation covering the academie, non-professional work.
