HIGH SCHOOLS TO JtSK RECOGHITiOH Four County Institutions Want To Be Known as Certi fied Schools. JORDAN TO INDIANAPOLIS IN COMPANY WITH TRUSTEE PAULIN OF WEBSTER TOWN SHIP HE GOES TO HAVE INTER VIEW WITH ALEY. In order to discuss with State Super intendent Aley, the question of certi fied high schools in this county and a course of geography In the fourth grade, County Superintendent Jordan and Trustees George Paulin of Web ster township, went to Indianapolis today. Several of the high schools of the county are anxious to be recog nized as certified institutions. That means the state will acknowledge the Quality of work done at these schools is sufficient to admit a graduate to college without examination. The distinction accorded a high school in this manner makes an education ob tained there of more value to the pu pils. The high schools of Economy, Greensfork, Williamsburg and White water are seeking the distinction. Study of Geography. The study of geography in the fourth grade of Indiana schools is In a chaotic state. The state board of education failed to provide 'for a geography text book to be used in this grade. The state's contract with the company that published the book formerly used has expired. The pu pils in the fifth grade who have used the book having purchased it last year retain it But since the expiration of the contract the company has raised the price from 30 cents to 45 cents per copy. TTie Wayne county school au thorities do not believe it right to make pupils pay this money for the book. - As an alternative it is proposed that the superintendent and teachers block out a fourth grade course. This course could be applied without the use of a text book. Supt. Jordan wants the oplnibn of Supt. Aley on the point and also would like his advice as to the things that should be included in the course. The county superintendent expects the state official to approve of the proposition and give it his support. The course would consist of black board and chart instruction outlined by the teachers.
