Mr, J. P. Jones,
Superintendent of Schools,,
Clare, Michigan.
My dear Sir:
I take great pleasure in informing-
you that upon recommendation of the-
Committee on Diploma Schools, the
diploma relation between your school
and this University is 'continued for' a
term of two y.ars, endiag June 30,
1924,
In   reaccredit;ng   your   school  the
Ccmmitteo desires to commend your
community for erecting such a splendid new school, building.
..^* Secretary,
m:   Very respectfully yours*

The University of Michigan Was the
first .higher. institwtWn .i-jfoj*.JJjalt^a.;
'States' td'acere^iibigh schools the recommended graduates of which are. received into tlie University without entrance examinations.   The credit for
: suggesting the idea" belongs to President Henry S. Frieze, but the principal work of developing and perfecting-
■ the plan was done under the direction .
of President James B. Angell.   Dr. An-
gell once said, 'Perhaps in nothing has
the University been more   useful   to
the educational system of the State
than In the cultvation of the friendly
relation with the schools by the introduction of the diploma system of ad.-,
mission of students.%
The  fact that graduates of a» accrediv
ted high school, who are recommended
by the  principal   or   superintendent,,
may  enter  not  only the  University
but any of the normal schools or denominational colleges   Df   the   State-
without taking the entrance examinations is but one of the smaller benefits,
derived from the accredited plan.   It.
has in fact been urged, and with much
merit, that the students  themselves,
would be better off if they knew they
would have to pass the entrance ex.
examinations in   order  to   enter  thet
University   or   one   of  the  colleges-.
Other    advantages,   quoting   from   a-
Universty Bulletin, are:
Tbe examination of the school at
regular intervals, by a representative-
from the University serves to stimulate progress and to prevent the de*-
volopment of questionable practices',
and tendencies.
The first reason is probably the-
most important, and largely tl*,<S basis-
of tho other two.
2. An cccredited high, school enjoys:
a greater prestige in the surrounding-
country, and therefore finds it easier '
to attract non-resident students.
3, The patrons have more e&nfi'-
denee in, and are generally mores willing to support, a high school recog:-
uized by the University.
Fourteen standards must be satisfae*
