        branches occurs, the director of the summer school

        or the third year of the elementary professional course
        unless the applicant can present a certificate showing
        proficiency to teach this subject, or can present a grade
        on her course in writing which would entitle her to such
        a certificate.

      • g. Applicants who have credits upon course as outlined
        prior to the summer of 1917, will have to enter the
        course under the regulations set up for January 1922,
        appropriate credit being allowed for courses completed.

      • h. CREDITS CANNOT BE ADJUSTED SO THAT THE

        DEPARTMENT.
