GENERAL INFORMATION

Students are admitted to the Tubman High School on pre-
sentation of promotion cards from the seventh grades of the
pubhc schools. Applicants for admission from other schools
will be required to stand examinations, or present other satisfac-
tory official evidence of being prepared to do high school work,
x^pplicants for admission to the upper classes will be required to
present certificates showing satisfactory completion of subjects
of the lower high school classes, or take examinations in the sub-
jects for which they ask credit. Only the certificates of ac-
credited schools will be accepted. All students, both old and
new, are required to get Class Cards from the Principal's office
during the week preceding the opening of school.

There is no tuition fee of any kind at the Tubman High
Schools for girls who are residents of Augusta or Richmond
County. Girls who are not residents of Augusta or Richmond
County are classified as non-residents. They are required to
pay a tuition fee of sixty dollars ($60.00) for the school year.
Thirty dollars of this amount is payable at the school when the
student registers and thirty dollars between February 1st and
15th following.

All text books and supplies used in the Tubman High School
may be bought at the school. No profit is made on the books
sold. Only the actual cost of handling is added to the publishers'
prices. This plan is not only a convenience to the students, but
a substantial saving in the cost of books is made. No books are
charged. Every book must l)e paid for wdien purchased.

COURSES OF STUDY

The Tubman High School ofifers four Courses of Study as
follows: COLLEGE-PREPARATORY, MODERN LANG-
UAGE, SCIENCE, and COMMERCIAL. An outline of the
subjects taken will be found on page five of this pamphlet. Stu.
dents must select one of these courses on entrance into the high
school. The selection of a course is of the highest importance.

Parents and students are urged to study the outline of Courses

6

of Study carefully, and to consult with the Principal before the
selection of the course. While provision is made for changing
courses after the first or second years for good reasons, such
changes are generally difficult to make, and sometime occasion
irregularities in the requirements for graduation which are im-
possible to overcome. No changes in courses of study are per-
mitted except with the approval of the Principal. A subject not
conpleted in any year must be taken again in the following year,
otherwise no credit towards graduation is allow in that subject.

The Courses of Study are designed to meet the requirements
that arise from the individual needs of the students. Students
select work in courses or groups of study rather than by indi-
vidual subjects. A limited selection of subjects under strict
faculty guidance is permitted for special reasons. The Courses
of Study are all so arranged as to require practically the
same amount of work in each. They are so organized into re-
lated groups of study as to ofTer every opportunity for individual
development.

Tlw CoUcijc-Frcpanitory Course, as its name indicates, has been
arranged for those students who will, on completion of the high
school course, continue their study in college. It meets the
requirements for entrance into the Freshman class of colleges of
the highest rank. Students completing this course are admitted
upon certificate to any college for women in Georgia, and to all
other colleges members of the "Association of Colleges and Sec-
ondary Sphools of the Southern States." The Tubman High
School is a member of this Association.

The Modern Laiujnayc and Science Courses are intended for
students who probably will not go to college, or who expect to
take an elective course at college. Both courses are planned
upon somewhat more general lines than the College Preparatory
course. They include a greater variety of subjects and have
been carefully planned in accordance with the established prac-
tice of the modern cosmopolitan high school.

The Couiniercial Course is jjlanned to prepare students for such
clerical positions as stenographers, bookkeepers, or general
office assistants. The course includes two years of Shorthand,
Bookkeeping, Typewriting, Arithmetic, English, Business Forms
and Customs, and general office practice. These subjects are

7

taken in the third and fourth years of the high school course,
and are based on two years of general high school subjects.

GRADUATION

In order to graduate from the Tubman High School with the
Diploma of the school, a student must complete one of the courses
as outlined. Each of these courses gives a total credit of slightly
more than sixteen (16) Units. A Unit represents one year's
work in a subject taken five times a week in forty-five minute
recitations. Upon this basis subects are reckoned in Units or
fractional parts of a Unit. To receive credit for work done in
any subject a student must pass in that subject according to the
school requirements in both daily recitations and examinations.
These requirements are officially announced at the beginning of
the school year. They are such as are made in all high-grade
schools, and must be complied with in every respect before any
official credit is allowed.

To students who have only partially completed requirements
for a Diploma, a Certificate in the subjects completed will be issued.
No Certificate, however, will be granted to any student who
finishes the fourth year with a total of less than fourteen (1-4)
Units, three of which must be in fourth year subjects. Parents
and students are expected to familiarize themselves with these
requirements. The regulations are a necessary basis for honest,
high-grade work. It should be clearly understood that the reg-
ulations as laid down in this pamphlet will be strictly observed.

The Courses of Study are so planned that students should,
with regular attendance and proper application, complete each
year's work without difficulty. The daily class work is assigned
upon a basis of about two and one-half hours of home study.
Except in rare instances, a student who does less than that
amount of home work will fail in her studies. The daily sched-
ules are so arranged that the student has one period for the
preparation of lessons for the following day, the study of library
references, or for such other preparation as is necessary for the
class periods.

REPORTS

Reports are sent to parents at the end of each month showing
the records of work done in all subjects, attendance, etc. These

reports are to be signed by parents and promptly returned to
the school. It is expected that parents will examine the reports
carefully and keep themselves informed during the year about
the progress their daughters are making. The records (as in-
dicated on the cards), are of the greatest importance. School
reports, (recitations and examinations), are the records upon
which graduation is leased. They show at all times the standing
of students. Parents are earnestly requested to examine them
carefully month by month. Duplicates of the reports are always
forwarded to colleges with entrance certificate. High school
records are becoming more and more a highly important factor
in securing desirable places in business. Almost invariably
when students, after leaving school, apply for positions em-
ployers promptly ask for official high school records.

The Tubman High School seeks at all times the full and cor-
dial co-operation of parents. Only under such conditions will
any girl do her best work. Parents are invited to visit the school
whenever they choose, and to become acquainted with ' the
teachers and the general regulations under which the school is
operated.

OUTLINE OF COURSES OF STUDY
