Good Words for Former Jasper County Boy.

The following item from Saturday’s Lafayette Journal in reference to a former Jasper county resident, Prof. Lee Fisher, son of F. W. Fisher of Kankakee tp., will be interesting to Mr. Fisher’s many friends here: The citizehs of Otterbein and community have reason to be proud of their high school. A few weeks ago a committee on accredited schools, composed of Professor Flickinger and Professor Porley, of the Northwestern University of College of Liberal Arts, visited the Otterbein high school and thoroughly inspected the work being done. As a result of their report the faculty of the university, on January 5, voted to fully accredit the Otterbein high school with the university for a period of three years. This is the first step Otterbein high school has even taken to be accredited with any college and great credit and praise is due to Prof. Lee Fisher and his splendid assistants who, by their ability and zeal, have brought their school to this advanced place. Prof. Lee Fisher has been superintendent of the Otterbein school for five years and is held in high esteem by the patrons and citizens.
