spected by him. and upon the reports thus
made the question of issuing new commits
sons or renewing old commissions of
high schools will be decided.
The inspection about to begin will be,
says State superintendent of Public In

ton of high schools that has ever been
made in this State. The Board of Education
announced it's intention to require of all
high schools full compliance with the rules
and regulations in regard to course of
study. teaching force. sanitary buildings,

thing is done to prevent the open competi-
