Show I CREDITS AT M. H. S. 'GOOD AS ANY SCHOOL IN STATE i Considerable comment has been j circulated concerning the relative ! scholastic standing of the Milford 1 High School as compared with ; other high schools of the state and nation. It seems advisable at this time, according to Principal Kenneth C. Farrer, to inform the public of the truth concerning this relative scholastic acceptance to evaluate i the comments of those in authority in order that all citizens might realize the quality of work attained at the local high school. Mr. William P. Miller, director of secondary education of the state of Utah, supplies the following comment in a letter dated February Febru-ary 26: "After my visit to your school last week, I feel sure that you are meeting the standards of the Northwest Association. I compliment compli-ment you on, the orderly, well organized or-ganized and efficient school you have. It is too late this year for further consideration by the Northwest Association. I assure you that special attention will be given your report next year, anticipating an-ticipating that Milford High School will be accepted for membership as a fully accredited institution." From Mr. J. A. Horton, acting registrar of the University of Utah, the following statements of acceptance of work is supplied in a letter to Principal Farrer of May 4, 1946: "I am glad to give you a statement state-ment regarding the acceptance of Milford High School credits at the University of Utah. We accept all credits submitted by your school on exactly the same basis as we do from any other high school in the state. There are, of course, minor restrictions on the amount of credit in such subjects as physical education and music, but credits earned in all of the basic subjects and for all practical purposes the others as well, are accepted ac-cepted at full face value as reported re-ported by the high school. I shall be glad to be of whatever help I can to you at any tame." Principal Farrer and his faculty are most anxious that the correct information be given to the public concerning the quality of work presented at the high school, as recognized by authorities. They are most desirous that the public visit the schools and discuss any problems freely with them . |
