Madison Junior High School Praised By National Teachers According to report the Madison Street Colored Junior High School of Louisville, Kentucky, received national recognition as the most outstanding Negro junior high school of the country at the meeting a few days ago of the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools at Montgomery, Ala. Educators from all over the United States attended the meeting. 
The high school department of the N.A.T.C.S. brought before the assembly the outstanding organization and program of activities of the school at Louisville. The Madison Street School was recently inspected by Mr. W. A. Robinson, Director of the Laboratory School at Atlanta University, former inspector of high schools in North Carolina and an ex-president of the N. A. T.C.S. It was Mr. Robinson who proclaimed the Louisville school as probably the best organized, most outstanding, and among the largest of the Negro junior high school age. The above mention of the Louisville school was reported by Dean R. E. Clement of the Louisville Municipal College, who recently attended the N. A. T.C. s. meeting at Montgomery as an official delegate from Kentucky. 
According to those in the position [?] know the Madison and Jackson [junior?] high schools of Louisville carry [?] most every feature of a model junior high school as outlined by leading authorities. The Madison school has a faculty of thirty-seven, who rank among the most energetic teachers of the city. A large number of them are attending summer school in spite of the depression. Several members of the faculty are experts in their line and others are making rapid progress. The school will open in September with an enrollment exceeding one thousand with practically all of the present staff except one teacher [who?] married and will probably be replaced. The state directory for 1931-32 shows Madison Junior to be the largest of all the junior high schools in the city from the standpoint of enrollment and average daily attendance.
