is ON ACCREDITED LIST
Eagle River High School Will
Be Continued Upon the
Accredited List--Letter Re-
ceived.

CelVed.
A. j. Austin, principal of the
Eagle River high school received
the following letter last Satur-
day from the committee on ac-
credited schools of the state re-
lating to the conditions of this
school. Further it states that
the high school, although weak
in apparatus, will remain upon
the accredited list of schools
The letter from the secretary, A.
w. Tressler, is as follows:
University of Wisconsin,
Madison, January 20, 1909.
Mr.. A. j Austin,
Principal, High School.
Eagle River, Wisconsin.
My Dear Mr.. Austin-Our commit
tee has recommended that the Eagle
River high school be continued on
the accredited list.
The supply of apparatus seemed
to about meet our minimum REQUIRE
ment for physics. More dissecting
microscopes will be needed when the
botany class begins work. Some adj
ditions have been made to your library
and we trust that you will be able co
make regular appropriations for its
extension. Historical maps are also
needed for the work in history and
German. Maps of the Roman Empire,
Germany and England should be pur-
chased first.
The Inspector very much regrets
that his visit to your school was SO
brief that it did not permit him to
see very many classes. His impress
sions, however. were generally favor
able. The teachers seemed to be con-
Quoting their classes in creditable
manner. aed there was good re-
spouse on the part of the pupils.
Very truly yours,
A. w. Tressler,
Secretary of the Committee.

not know me; you do not even know
my name, yet you stand here as
though I were the only artist in the
