Upon satisfactory evidence being shown to the superintendent of publie instruction that the high school board of any high school district has neglected or refused to establish only such courses of study as have been approved by the state board of education, or to comply with any of the other provisions of this section, it shall be the duty of such superin tendent of public instruction to withhold from such high school district, all apportionments from the state high school fund, until said high school board shall fully comply with the provisions of this section. The high school board of any high school district, or trustees of any county high school, may prescribe post-graduate courses of study for the graduates of such high school, or other high schools, which course of study shall approximate the studies prescribed in the first two years of university courses.
