The main reason for the success of Ot- tumwa's growing public school system is the work of the Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Frank W. Douma. Mr. Douma has held this position for eight years. During this period it has been his duty to co-ordinate the work of all the schools so that they will fulfill the state requirements. Along with his work with the Ottumwa schools he is a member of the State Board of Control of Athletics, and the North Central Association of high schools and colleges. Another man who has an important position in the operation of the schools is the secretary of the board, Mr. Walter McLain. Besides keeping an accurate record of all board proceedings, he also has charge of the maintenance department. This includes the handling of the insurance carried by the schools, securing the many supplies and sports equipment that is needed, and any other business or financial transactions that might arise. Under the guidance of these people, Ot- tumwa schools will continue to rank among the best. Pace 13
