Statistics relating to Free High
Schools do not come to this office but
are sent directly to the State Depart
ment.
There are now in the county twelve
schools of this class, the last to organ
ize being the one in Cuba City. This
leaves but one more in the county which
is likely to come under this class for
some time to come. Seven of these
high schools graduated classes last
June, ranging from two to thirteen
members.
The High School is at present the
most potent factor in the educational
system of tie county. In the profess
ional instruction afforded the great body
of teachers required in the district
schools, the high school is important.
1t is chiefly valuable, however in its
relation to the work of associated lower
grades of the same school and to the
work in surrounding country district
schools, as it furnishes incentives which
give an uplift to all schools Of lower
grades. Seven of their principals this
year are graduates of the Platteville
State Normal School and five hold State
certificates.
The careful and critical inquiries
from school officers in regard to the
qualifications of applicants for positions
in the schools under their charge indi-
cate that there is an increasing demand
for trained and successful teachers in
