Mr. Gra ham communicated with Inspector Reed of the State Bureau of Accredited High schools concerning the matter. Mr. Reed said as far as he knew no action had been taken by the committee of the associa tion which would affect South Omaha. Further he said he thougtil the standard of the South Omaha institution fully up to requirements and that the city could not be dropped; but might demand recognition. The effect of dropping the city would be that all students of South Omsha would have to take an entrance examination upon applying for enrollment in any of the col leges of the association.
