Northern and Southern Garrett
County Junior-Senior high schools,

ence, it was learned this week.
All the better high schools with
high scholastic standards across
the country are approved by the
latter conference.
Both high school principals be-
gan last December with their
teachers, working through extra
meetings and extra hours, prepar-
ing for the evaluation. K. Bowen
Hardesty, county superintendent
of schools, said it will take a team
of fifteen persons from across the
state three days to survey one
school. This team will examine

capitalization, punctuation, SEN
tence structure, arithmetic, reading

tional agriculture, core, history,
English, home economies, science,
alts-crafts, vocal music, Spanish,

be made in the spring Of 1855. +
the meantime teachers will b. coz
stantly at work in preparation of

Atlantic States will depend upon
constant work and constant CO.
operation Of the PTA council, the
local PTA, board Of education,
teachers, custodians, cafeteria per-
sonnet, bus drivers, students and
administration, it was stated. Mr..
Hardesty said successful certifi-
cation of our two high schools by
the Middle Atlantic States confer
ence will mean much to our stu
dents and graduates as they go
forth from the schools. He con-
tinued, the bulk of the burden falls
upon our teachers. We have teach
crs willing to exert extra effort
whenever they can to bring better
advantages to our boys and girls.
OF this we are proud" he con-
Guided.

regulations for drivers, contractors
and pupils had been held at Acct
dent, Friendsville, Grantsville,
Northern and Southern High
schools, Oakland and kitzmiller
elementary schools, and tn t
principals and teachers in the

effort to eliminate school bus stops
opposite double white lines on the
highways.
