10. The High School.
The first question that is usually
ked about a high school is wheth-
or not it is on the accredited list.
it be on the accredited list, it is
morally recognized a high school
at can meet certain rigid require
ents in the way of building, equip
ent, tealhers, curriculum, etc. Raw
l4Bh School is accredited by
= accrediting Institutions, name
the North Central Association of
olleges and Secondary Schools, The
wyoming State Department of Edu-
alton, and the University of Wyo-
hing. For a school to be on the
ccredited list of the North Central
association is quite an honor, for
mean that the graduates of our
Ugh school will be admitted without
ntrance examinations to the colleges
nd universities of eighteen (1S)
states in the middle west and Rocky
Mountain region. The State Depart
3nent of Education requires that we
make a detailed and comprehensive
report annually, and we are check
led up by the State Department in
this way. The University of Wyo-
ming judges us by our annual report
to them, by the report of the high
school inspector, by the North Cen
trail Association, and by the kind of
graduates that We send to the uni
|versity. 1t is apparent hat the
work of our high school must be of
a high order since we are accredit-
ed.
| According to law we are entitled
collect tuition for nonresident
fhig< school students. This tuition
must Ne paid by the district the stu
dent comes from providing there is
no high school in that district. The
Board has fixed the tuition fee at
$500 a year. which is consider
ably less than the cost per pupil of
maintaining the high school. The last
Legislature amended this law so as
to make it possible for the county
superintendent to take this tuition
out of the funds of the district ow-
ing it, if such district refuses to
pay tuition.
Our greatest need is a new high
school building which has already
been discussed at length in section
.. We must nave more room.
The crowded condition of the
Commercial Department and the
need for more classroom space for
those classes has been discussed in
a previous section.
All students in the Commercial
Department so far, except two, have
gotten their first certificate in type
writing. This certificate IL given for
writing from 30 to 40 words per mn
- >het, for fifteen minutes writ
ing from unfamiliar matter. Every
error In typewritnig penalties the
student ten words, so he must be
able to write fairly accurately or
tiN IVhutty "ouiu NSSb MN y"
winning a very high record in net
words per minute.
The medals are given for from
40 to so words per minute net. a
per above. Three Of the beginning
students have already received med
ais.
In Shorthand all except tour have
secured the O. G. A. tOrder OF Gregg
Artists. These certificates are given
II the notes measure up to n very
high standard OF excellence in pro-
portion and in theory of system.
In P%enmanship, every member OF
the class secured the first. or Palmer
Method Button: all except one, the
Progress Pin; nve secured the High
School Commercial Diploma.
In Bookkeeping. no diplomas are
granted except for the successful
completion of n two years course.
Since We offer but one year In this
subject. II In impossible for our stu
dents to get . bookkeeping Certih-
cate.
In connection with the Bookkeep-
ing course. students use the Bur
roughs Posting machine for this de-
APARTMENT. A considerable mount OF
Duplicating work IL done by the
commercial students. using the MI
meograph for this purpose.
Al present we have only Under
wood typewriters in this department.
II is recommended that the next
typewrIters that are bought or when
some of the Undcrwoods are ready TO
be turned In for new ones, be Rem
ingtons. Undoubtedly the service on
these machines Will be better by
having two makes OF machines, also
Il will be advantageous to the pupils
10 learn on two stnndard machines
instead OF only one.
