They Will Get Their Diplomas

A special examination of the district schools was in progress here saturday under the advice of the state superintendent of public instruction. Those who pass it are given diplomas which will admit them to any high school or to the freshman class in the Agricultural College. Twenty-seven young people took it today, the youngest being Carrie, the 11 year old daughter of Fred Prochnow, of Northfield. There are examinations being held simultaneously in this county in Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, Dexter, Chelsea, Manchester, Saline, York, Fredonia and Salem. The examinations consist in reading, orthography, geography, physiology, school government, U.S. history, arithmetic, penmanship and grammar. Those who pass part of these subjects will have an opportunity to pass the rest in May.
