WAUWATOSA HIGH SCHOOL AN
ACCREDPEE5 SCHOOL

dlgn school, not because 1t is the most
beautiful structure in the world, not
because it has every appointment that
the heart could wish; but because of
the excellence of its output, the serv-
ice it is rendering our boys and girls
in preparation for citizenship, and the
standing it has with the higher insti-
tutions of learning.
We have no record of the year when
Wauwatosa High School was first ac-
credited to the University; but it must
have been in the early eighties. In
1906 Mr.. Thomas Lloyd Jones, Super
intendent and Principal of the High
School, made application for member
ship in the North Central Association
of Colleges and Secondary Schools and
his application was accepted.
Membership in this Association
gives the High School the best accred-
iting which any school can have. 1t
admits our graduates without exanlin-
alton to any university in the Middle
West, and Western Coast. All small
colleges in the Middle West accept
students who are graduates Of schools
accredited to their own State Univer-
sity. Membership in the North Gem
trail Association is the highest honor a
High School can have conferred upon
it. Many schools in Wisconsin are ac-
credited to the University that are not
accepted as members of the North Gem
trail Association. The question has been
raised as to whether the High School
is accredited to any Eastern School or
not. 1t is and it is not. In 1919 Brya
Mawr, Wellesley, Smith and Vassar,
entered into an agreement not to adj
NIT students from any school, except
on examination. The universities for
boys such as Yale, Harvard, Princeton
and others have always admitted by
examination only.
In September notice was received
by the school authorities from Williams
offering to accept students from North
Central High Schools il they followed
a course prescribed by Williams. ANY
boy desiring to enter Williams, can do
so, if he plans his High School course
accordingly. We have been accredited
to Raenssler Polytechnic for several
years.
Beloit College has adopted d rule
1 that only those students whose aver-
age for the four years is $3.50 of the
difference between the passing mark
and 100, above the passing mark would
be accepted. This means that no stu
dent will be accepted with four year
average of less than 78. Other colleges
of the state will accept no students
who are ranked in the lower third of
their class. Our High School offers
every advantage to the boys and girls
in opportunity and accrediting; but
our students cannot profit by the OPP
portunity unless they work.
Membership in the North Central
Association is based on the following
conditions briefly stated:
/ Proper housing, ventilation, light,
heat, sanitation.
Glass limited to 80.
No teacher teaching more than 6
classes, recommended with one
assembly period.
All teachers of academic subjects
graduates Of College or University
belonging to the North Central As
sociation or one of equal standing.
A school year of at least SO weeks.
Class periods at least As minutes
in length.
z At least Is units required for
graduation.
8 A salary schedule showing an in
crease of at least 1000 over the
schedule Of 1914.
The school must belong to Glass A
as officially listed by the properly
constituted educational authorities
Of the state.
10 The High School Principal must
make the annual report required
by the Association.
We cannot refrain from saying
word about the splendid record our
students are making at the University.
Every year we get a report Of the
Freshmen so that we may know what
they are doing and why they are fail
ing, il they fail.
Nine students were accepted as
freshmen in September of last year.
