June 5 High praise for th administration and teaching in tne Sandusky public school gystem was contained in a report received recently from Dr. Harlan C. Koch, assistant director of the University of Michigan bureau of fa-operation with educational institutions, and a Michigan high echool inspector.

Dr. Koch's report was issued after a personal inspection of the school -Feb. 25. In it he said: "I left your school quite favorably impressed with the general of your teaching staff. The individual members gave evidence of having been carefully selected and as carefully assigned to their respective teaching areas." Dr.

Koch commented particularly upon the type of work being accomplished in the general shop, music department, commercial department and art department. After learning that graduates of the high school commercial department are quickly placed in office positions, the inspector wrote. "The fact that business offices are absorbing the graduates from this department indicates that effective work is being done." Dr. Koch praised the policies and attitude of the board of edu cation and declared board members were to be highly commended for their policy of investing available funds as they arrive in maintaining a good school rather than building up unused reserves. "It is apparent high standards pertain in your school.

I trust that nothing will modify them." Dr. Koch wrote. "I discovered evidence that the community, as well as the specific school organization, looks upon the school as a co-operative enterprise. This is a very healthy sign indeed." he wrote. The Sandusky High school has been continuously accredited by the University of Michigan for many years, and since 1936 has been on the list of the North Central of Colleges' and Secondary Schools, one of the highest honors which can be bestowed upon a rural high school.

The teaching staff of 19 members has a 100 per cent membership in the Michigan Education association. One of the reasons the school is given such a high rating. Superintendent A. J. Duncanson says.

Is its extensive library. Within the last two years, about $S0O has been invented in library books. A recent $250 shipment of books Included a complete set of History the World "The University Library." an encyclo pedia of literature; and several individual literary classics. A new set of the Ani'-i-m encyclopedia was added in 1936. Emmett Parochial School To Graduate 16; Program Friday Emmett.
