SYSTEM SCORED BY CAREY
University Should Not Have Power to
Classify State High Schools,
Says Educator.

Madison.-That the accredited high
school list is an evil that should not
exist in Wisconsin is the declaration of
c. P. Cary, state superintendent of pub
lie instruction
mo state university should be. al
lowed to put up the bars against the
admission of students who have had
four years of training in public high
school, and are recommended by the
principal as qualified to do college
work" says Mr.. Cary's statement. mo
state university should be permitted
to dictate even indirectly what the
course of study in public high schools
should be.
"The accredited list is an evil that
ought not to exist in Wisconsin. The
evil is subtle and may perhaps be ig-
nored in view of the moribund condition
of the university domination. The evil
consists in this, that high schools in
some instances may still take pride in
the shackles that bind them to a
higher institution of learning, rather
than pride in being a living force for
the welfare of the community"
