charter. The approval of schools
by this Association is a cooperat-
i've undertaking and membership
is purely voluntary. No school is
approved unless there is the ex-
pressed desire of the local
authorities of q high school for
such approval.
Certain advantages result from
such approval. In brief, they are:
1. Graduates of any approved
high school are privileged to enter
institutions of higher learning with
in the North Central states with
out entrance examinations, pro-
vided they have credits in the high
school subjects required by the
college or university to which ad-
mission is sought. Since other ap-
proving agencies recognize North
Central schools, this privilege of
entering institutions of higher edu-
cation without examinations is ex-
tended practically throughout the
United States. (There are some
institutions of higher learning who
do not admit graduates of North
Central high schools il the rank
ings of these graduates are in the
lowest one-fourth of the graduating
class.)
2. The graduates of approved
high schools have the assurance
that their high school diplomas
will be acceptable to State Boards
having to do with the granting of
certificates for the various profes-
sions of medicine, dentistry, law,
etc. In states requiring graduation
from approved high schools as a
prerequisite to the obtaining Of a
teaching certificate, the graduates
of schools approved by the Central
Association meet the requirements
of such law.
3. A high school approved by
the North Central Association
must maintain high standards and
consequently the community is
assured of a program of modern
high school education.
4. The visitation of the school
at regular intervals by supervisors
serves to stimulate progress and to
prevent the development of ques-
tionable practices and tendencies.
5. A high school approved by
the North Central Association en-
joys a greater prestige in the
surrounding country and therefore
finds it easier to attract non-resi-
dent students.
6. The patrons have more con-
fidence in and are generally more
willing to support an approved
high school.
