One accomplishment of more i'm
portance than many realize was an
nounced early in April when the
Cody high school received notice
that it had been placed on the
select list of accredited schools. Out
of the forty-two high schools in the
state of Wyoming there are only
twenty of the leading high schools
accredited by the North Central as
sociation of High Schools and Col
1eges, the oldest and largest ac-
crediting association in the United
States, composed of nineteen of the
north central states. AS a result of
this recognition a student gradual
ing from the Cody high school will
De admitted to n university in
the United States without examina-
ton with a possible exception of
one or two universities which have
always held entrance examinations
for students from any high school.
This places the Cody high school IN
an equal standing with the best
high schools in the United States.
In order to reach this standard it
was necessary for the Cody schools
to meet certain requirements and
to furnish adequate equipment in
the various departments of the
school, such as supplying sufficient
laboratory, library, and reference
material. This the board of educa-
ton has done literally, meeting re-
quirements in one instance of his
tory maps alone TO the extent of
nearly 5000. Another requirement
of the North Central association
placed upon the local board of edu-
8 cation is to employ in high schools
only teachers with experience and
each teacher must hold an A. B
degree.
Cody he maintained a corps Of
teachers with high qualifications fol
many years. During the last veal
the teachers have been far above
the average in this respect. Every
teacher has had from two to sever

AND COBB
FOR SCHOOL BOARD

At meetings held on Monday and
Tuesday evenings to discuss matters
pertaining to the administration of
a ticket to be placed before the pa
irons of District No. 6 at Mondays
annual meeting and election, Will
C. Richard and C. R. Cobb were
chosen by those present for places
on the board to fill the vacancies
caused by the expiration of the
terms of Lloyd Buchanan and Mrs.
j. F. Cook. These two men are
both taxpayers of Cody and need no
introduction to the people of Cody.
Their names will be placed in nom
ination at the Monday election on
the Cooperative Ticket"
The following is a resolution
which was drafted in the meetings
held and denotes some of the things
which those present would inject
into the administration of the Cody
schools:
We believe in a closer coopera-
ton between the pupils, faculty,
directors, parents and the public at
large, and to this end we believe
that the regular, as well as all other
meetings of the school board should
be held in the schoolhouse and open
to the public and that representa-
tives of the local newspapers be
especially invited to attend all reg
ular and special meetings.
We believe in physical culture
and development for all the pupils
of u school, and not for the mem
bers of the athletic teams only. To
accomplish this successfully we be-
lieve that a competent physical di-
rector should be employed for this
special purpose, devoting his entire
time to this and, serving as a coach
insofar as this may be possible in
conformity with the school laws and
the rules of the Big Horn Basin
Athletic association. We believe
that the school board should be so
instructed by a proper resolution
We believe that there should be
an athletic association formed to
handle the various athletic matters
pertaining to our schools and that
this body should be composed of
representatives of the High School,
the various athletic teams, the
board of directors, faculty and pa
irons. and that this organization or
committee should formulate rules
to govern athletics. We believe
that the financial affairs especially
should be handled in a business
like, manner and that a record
should be kept of all receipts and
disbursements, with receipts and
vouchers as is customary in the
handling of public funds.
We also believe that this commit
tee should act as a board of arbftra-
ton in matters pertaining to school
athletics when there is a difference
of opinion, and that the decision
of this board should be binding
upon all parties concerned.

years experience and each one holds
an "a" certificate and half of the
teachers below high school have
training after graduation from high
school. 1t should also be added
that many of the teachers hold GER
tificates for teaching Palmer method
writing.
The course in vocational agricul-
ture under the direction and leader
ship of o. P. Roberts has been a
that Cody high school has conduct
ed work of this kind. The exper-
iment has been highly satisfactory,
meeting with the hearty approval of
farmers and ranchers. Boys not
caring for the classical subjects
have become interested in agricul-
ture and have received instruction
which will be of practical value to
them in scientific farming. Because
of the number of courses offered in
high school many boys nave remain
ed in school since they were able to
choose the subjects they wanted.
The class in Farm Shop or Farm
manuel training, a part of the ag-
ricultural course, has made many
useful articles for the farm, such
as gates, hog feeders, water troughs,
chickent coops, rope halters, trap
nests, etc.
The course in agriculture being
under the Smith-Hughes federal act
is under the supervision of the state
director of vocational education, Jas.
r. Coxen. The local district re-
! ceives $1,000 to apply on the salary
of the instructor. Each boy who
was enrolled in the work in agri.
culture is required to carry on one
subject in agriculture during the
summer. This will teach him to be
independent and he will learn many
lessons of thrift and industry. He
receive credit for the work accord.
ing to the quality of work done.
