Extend this list as local conditions may warrant. 
Give to each practicum the number of credits which 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 43, 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 
such form as the following:
