President Hadley, of the University of
New Mexico, writes to Prof. Creighton that
the Roswell school has been placed upon
the list of accredited high schools of New
Mexico, and that the course of study pur-
sued here will be recognized as equal to
the regular course pursued in the univer-
sity. This is encouraging to the students

certificate from the principal of this
school to the effect that the student has
finished the regular course here.-'Ros-
