 Dear MT Lomen:
 In addition to the information contained in my .etter of even date, which outlined to you the standards for acrreditation of high schools. the following are sugges- tioHs for the improvement of the high school in Nome 10 meet these standards:
 IL would be neceSsary for Nome to employ two more teachers for high school work. Estimating the salary of each teacher to be $500 per year, and allowing for an so percent refund of this amount from the Territory the additional cost to the City of Nome for ad- 'ditional salaries would be $720.0O.
 Our records indicate an enroll III lHa II II Si 20 SUI dents Twenty-four students are required for accreditation, six of them being in each grade. This requirement is sometimes waived. and l believe would be to the ex- tent of not requiring that these 24 students be evenly divided among the grades in the high school However, an enrolment of 24 stu dents would be necessary under the University of Nashin gton re- quirements.
 This office has no record of the equipment on hand in Nome. and it is entirely possible that as a four year high school has been maintained. that sufficient equip ment would be on hand to conduct the work satisfactorily,
 It would appear that no change would need to he made ID the ele' mentary school. inasnuch as oul
