DEPUTY AND DxREcToR DIVISION OF INSPECTION Lansing, December S, 1928 Mrs. Aline G. Moegle Superintendent Madisonibhool Royal Oak, Michigan My dear Mrs. Xoegle: On December 3 I visited your school for the Department of Public Instruction and the University of Michigan with the idea of determining whether it could be recommended for accrediting. I am very glad to be able to report back to you that I found your school in excellent condition and that I shall takK up the matter of its accrediting at the next meeting of the Committee on Accredited Schools. It is very unusual for me to visit a school for accrediting and not make at least a few recommendations for completely meeting the standards for accrediting. The building, equipment, teaching, and administration of your school, however, are so good that I have no recommendations to make. I assure you it was a pleasure to visit your school. MAK:WH Very truly yours ?ZQIWV W u1323n TwentyrEight WA? 4J1 g
