Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Results of the Chicago Experiment in Introducing Latin Into the Seventh and Eight Grades These were accompanied by a tentative six years' course of study; it was designed to admit pupils to this school as soon as they were promoted to the seventh, or last grade but one, of the grammar schools. On motion of Mr. Thornton the matter was referred to a joint committee, consisting of the Committees on School Management and High Schools. On May 9 this committee reported that they had given the matter full and careful consideration, that the superintendent of schools and his assistants unanimously approved the college prepar atory course recommended by Mr. Thornton, and that they (the joint committee) recommended the adoption of the resolutions and the course of study thereto attached, and that classes be located at the beginning of the school year in three of the high-school buildings, one in each division of the city. This report was ordered published and consideration thereof laid over. Before the meeting closed, however, Mr. Thomas Cusack moved that the board take a recess for one week, or until Wednesday evening, May 16, and that this report be considered at that meeting. This motion prevailed. At the meeting held on May 16 the report was dis cussed and an amendment introduced that the expense for the first year should not exceed five thousand dollars, which was carried. Then the entire report, including location of schools, course of study, expense for first year, was passed by a vote of fifteen to two.
