HIGH SCHOOL
DISTINCTION
MERITED
ChicEasha Institution Again Recognized
on Accredited List Of Secondary
Schools and Colleges

The officials of the Chickasha High
school have just received information
from A. c. Parsons, state high school
inspector, that this school has been
retained on the accredited list of Sec
ondary Schools and Colleges for the
year 1917-1S The school has been a
member OF this association since 1912.
1t should be a source Of satisfaction to
local citizens that their city high
school measures UP to the standard Of
membership in this association Of ma.
tion-wide reputation.
The leading requirements for mem
bership call for teachers OF the regu-
lar academic subjects to hold college
or university degrees, ample high
school library facilities, and standard
laboratories for demonstrating the
and biological sciences. No
teacher shall be required to teach
more than six periods pr day, five be.
ing the standard number.
The advantages in being a member
of this association are many. They
are state and national. The state uni
versity accepts without examination or
further question students from the
school and gives them classification in
the freshman year Graduates Of
schools in this association lii be Civ
en- credit in any Of the colleges or uni
versities Of the sixteen North Central
states. A prominent university in the
east recently advised the superintend-
snt that credit would be extended in
that institution to graduates OF the
Chickasha high school,
1t speaks well for the school and
FOR the city to have a standardized
nigh school. This recognition is given
lot by favor but by merit as approved
md reported by the state high school
Inspector
