PUBLIC SCHOOLS CLOSE
FOR SUMMER VACATION
Most Successful Year in the History of
the City-LeayenwOrth Now Has
Fully Accredited High School

With the closing Of the public
schools last Friday it may be truly said
that there was ended the most satisfac-
tory term in the history of the city.
The attendance was large, exceeding
that of any previous year, and an unus-
ual amount Of interest was shown~in the
school work, which no doubt was due
largely to the new departments which
were added the first of this year.
Another attainment was reached this
year when the 18th grade or last high
school year was put on the accredited
list, which now gives Leavenworth a
fully accredited high school. Prof.
Moore, who took charge of the schools
four years ago, began at that time
working toward this end, and every
year succeeded in getting one year OF
fully accredited high school work.
Miss Alice Briskey was the only one to
graduate from the high school this year
and has the distinction of being the
first graduate from the Leavenworth
High School. From Prof. Moore it is
learned that she intends to attend sum-
mer school this year and prepare her
self as teacher.
There were twenty-three students
who took the eighth grade examina-
tions last week, and Prof. Moore feels
confident that all will pass and receive
their diplomas.
