ACCREDITED SCHOOLS.
Conditions for the Accrediting of Schools.—A school desiring to be
placed on the accredited list of the University should apply to the Chairman
of the Committee on Accredited Schools. In response to the application, a
blank form inquiring into the course of study, faculty, etc., of the school will
be sent to the principal. Upon the return of this blank, properly filled out, a
representative of the University will be sent to inspect the school, and to report
on such matters as the quality of instruction, the general intellectual and moral
tone of the school, and the efficiency of the equipment, especially library and
laboratory facilities. If his report is favorable and the Committee concurs, the
school will be accepted and the principal duly notified. The name of the school
will be entered upon the list of accredited schools and published in the catalogue
of the University.
Each school must meet the following requirements:
(1) A course of study covering not less than four years of high-school
work, based on at least seven years of competent elementary instruction, and
embracing at least sixteen units as defined on pp. 80-89. These sixteen units
must include English A, B, C, Mathematics A1, A2, B, and one unit of History.
Those schools that wish to prepare students for the study of Latin in the University
must offer instruction in this subject to the extent of four units.
(2) A teaching force of not less than three teachers, each of whom devotes
his entire time to high-school instruction, and conducts not more than seven
recitation periods a day. The University will scrutinize with extreme care any
school in which any instructor teaches more than six periods a day. All teachers
should possess college training, and preference will be given to those schools in
which the teachers are college graduates.

within the State of Virginia at present accredited by the University. This list
