The school day is not long enough to enable any pupil to do satisfactory work without studying at home. Every pupil in high school should study for at least two hours at home in preparation for each day's work at school.


More time is required for home study if college certificate grades are to be earned. A grade of 80 or better must be achieved by those pupils who are to be recommended for college entrance without examination.


It is rather difficult for any pupil without grade of college certificate work to gain admittance to any of the large majority of our New England Colleges.
