Accredited High Schools. 



Secondary education in the state is making rapid headway. There are 140 

 accredited high schools and nine academies in the state. The State Department 

 has worked out a plan that benefits the smaller community, by accrediting the high 

 school work for from one to four years. Many of the smaller towns can thus furnish 

 from one to four years of fully accepted high school work and the parent will not 

 need to send the child away from home. Of the 140 high schools, 18 are four-year 

 accredited county high schools, 55 are four-year accredited city or town schools, 10 

 are three-year high schools, 38 are two-year high schools and 19 are one-year high 

 schools. The county high schools are maintained by a county high school tax over 

 all the county, while the other high schools are maintained by the districts with a 

 special county tax for accredited high schools over the county. 



Many of the Montana high schools are equal to any in the country, with 

 beautiful grounds, fine modern buildings, gymnasiums, equipment for industrial arts 

 and science work, libraries and thoroughly trained teachers. 



Universities and Colleges. 



Montana is also well supplied with institutions for higher education. Almost 

 any line of work desired may be taken in the state at some of the schools. The 

 state institutions and the denominational colleges are doing standard college work, 

 equal to that of any of the schools in the country. 



The University of Montana, at its four schools offers courses to suit almost any 

 young person preparing for life. The State University at Missoula offers work in 

 the following schools: liberal arts, forestry, journalism, law, music, education, 

 pharmacy, business administration, and in different war activities. Its enrollment is 

 increasing each year and its student body is enthusiastic. 



The State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, at Bozeman, offers work 

 in agriculture, engineering, domestic arts, animal husbandry, dairying, etc., which
