Extend this list as local conditions may warrant. 



Give to each, practicum the number of credits wliich fairly represent 

 the number of prepared recitation periods needed to accomplish the 

 skillful performance. Bear in mind the time used on arithmetic or 

 other subjects in acquiring skill. 



At the end of a term or a year, add all the credits and average the 

 rank for the practical work. This rank should then average with 

 other school subjects, bearing such weight as the ratio of these credit 

 hours bears to the total number of hours for a subject which occurs 

 each school day. If this sum of credits were 45 and the school year 

 is 36 weeks, or 180 days, then the practical work would be the equiva- 

 lent of -/sV or one-fourth of a full five-period course, and the rank 

 should affect the general average with that weight. 



If the pupil is studying agriculture, the rank on the practice should 

 affect the rank in that subject first. In lower grades it is often 

 simpler to apply this credit as though it were a separate subject 

 rather than applying it to correlated subjects. 



A blank to be filled and signed by the parent might be in some
