On May 2, the evaluation committee departed from Grady to visit other schools
in this section. Their three days' stay at Grady was not to be soon forgotten.
Whether the students impressed the committee or not, the cleanliness of
the school must have. The maids and janitors had been cleaning constantly
for a week in preparation for the committee's arrival.
The committee showed up bright and early Friday morning, April 29, at one of the cleanest schools ever gazed upon.
The committee was composed of educators from colleges all over the country. Most of these people were rather young or middle-aged and were very congenial. Their outlook on education was a progressive one, according to most of the teachers.
When they evaluated the scholastic phase of Grady, they could find no fault in the development except that the standards should have something to say about the assignment of their homework. The committee was amazed with the curriculum which Grady had built up in its short time of existance.
The committee as a whole believed that Grady concentrated on studies too much and does not deal in social living and school activities enough, They said Grady has plenty of clubs, but not enough students participating in them.
One of their main grievances was Grady's lack of field trips. They think it should have at least one trip a week.
