gram with reference to physical
education and to it's athletic re-
lationship with cher high
schools as determined by the
State Athletic Association.
The North Central Associa-
ton of Colleges and Secondary
Schools is an accrediting agency
comprising twenty states and is
the largest regional accrediting
agency in the United States. The
object of the Association is to
establish closer relations be-
tween the secondary schools and
the institutions of higher edu-
cation within the North CenEra!
States and in such other terri
tory as the North Central As
sociation may recognize. All
decisions of the Association
bearing on the policies and
management Of secondary
schools and institutions of high
er education are understood to
be advisory in their character.
The accrediting of schools by
the North Central Association Is
a cooperative undertaking.
Membership in this Association
is purely voluntary. It must
be the desire of the local au-
thorities of a high school to
have the school accredited by
the Association.
Advantages that high schools
realize as result of being ac-
credited by the North Central
Association can be summarized
as follows:
/. The graduates of an ac-
credited high school are privil-
eyed to enter institutions of
higher education within the
North Central States without
entrance examinations, provided
that they have credits in the
high school subjects required by
the college or university for ad-
mission. Since other accredit-
ing agencies recognize schools
accredited by the North Cen
trail Association, this privilege
of entering institutions of high
er education without examina-
ton is extended practically
throughout the United States.
2. The graduates of accred-
tied high schools have the as
surance that their high school
diplomas will be acceptable TO
State Boards having to do with
the granting of certificates for
the various professions Of
medicine, dentistry, law, etc. In
states requiring graduation
from approved high schools as
a prerequisite to the, obtaining
of a teaching certificate. thd
graduates of schools accredited
by the North Central Associa-
ton meet the requirements of
such a law. ...
8. "A high school approved by
the North Central Association
must maintain high standards
and consequently the cornmuni-
ty is assured of a program of
modern high school education.
4. The examination of the
school at regular intervals by
inspectors and supervisors
serves to stimulate progress and
to prevent the development Of
questionable practices and ten
denotes. '.
5; A high school accredited
by the North Central Associa-
ton enjoys a greater prestige
in the surrounding country and
therefore finds it easier to at
tract non-resident pupils.
6. The patrons have more
confidence in, and are general
ly more willing to support, an
accredited high school.
