193. For the encouragement of secondary education in Maryland, the
State shall extend aid to such groups of high schools in such amounts and
in such manner as hereinafter designated and described. All high schools
of the counties of the State of Maryland receiving State Aid shall be ar-
ranged by the State Board of Education into two groups, to be designated
first group, and second group, according to the number and average daily
attendance of pupils enrolled, teachers employed, and number of years and
quality of instruction given. High schools of the first group shall fulfill
the following minimum requirements: (a) they shall have an enrollment
of not less than thirty bona fide high school pupils, and an average daily
attendance of not less than twenty-five pupils; (b) they shall employ not
less than two full-time academic teachers for the high school work; (c)
they shall provide a four years' course of instruction of not less than one
hundred and eighty actual school days in each year, the same to conform
to the standards required by the State Board of Education. High schools
of the second group shall fulfill the following minimum requirements: (a)
they shall have an enrollment of not less than fifteen bona fide high school
pupils, and an average daily attendance of at least twelve pupils; (b) they
shall employ one full-time teacher of the academic branches; (c) they shall
provide a two years' course of instruction of not less than one hundred and
eighty actual school days in each year, the same to conform to the standard
required by the State Board of Education.

No promotion of pupils from grade to grade in any approved high school
shall be made without the approval of the county superintendent of schools;
nor shall any pupils be graduated from an approved high school without the
approval of the State Superintendent of Schools. Regulations regarding
the size and arrangement of the building, and its fitness for high school
work, the amount and character of equipment and supplies, and the neces-
sary library and laboratories, shall be made by the State Board of Educa-
tion; and State aid shall not be allowed on account of the employment of
any teacher unless the department to which such teacher is assigned is
adequately equipped and the quality of instruction is satisfactory.

No person shall be employed in any approved high school as principal
or assistant teacher who does not hold the appropriate certificate as pro-
Tided for in Chapter 8, Section S3, of this Article.
