Horner, Superintendent of Public Schools, was born at Meyersdale, Somerset County, Pa., in 1886. After attending the public schools in that county, he continued his studies at Juniata Preparatory School graduating from there in 1904. For the next four years, 1904-1908, he taught school in Somerset County. He then entered Juniata College, from which he was graduated in 1912 with an A.B. degree. In 1916 he re- ceived an A.M. from Columbia University. Since then he has two summer sessions work toward a Ph.D, in Administration. After leaving Juniata College, Mr. Horner taught at Bedford, Pa., for one year, 1912-1913. In the fall of 1913, he came to teach in the Tamaqua High School. Here he taught the subjects of Science and Mathematics from 1913 to 1920. In 1920 he was made Assistant Principal and in 1923, Principal. This position he held until June, 1927, when upon the retirement of Superintendent J. F. Derr, he assumed the duties of Superintendent of Public Schools. Under Mr. Horner,s supervision various innovations have been introduced into the Schools of Tamaqua. Grade Building Principals have been appointed in each one of the Grade Buildings. Standardized tests are also being given thruout the schools. It is under his supervision that the much-needed new Senior High School, will be opened. This, henceforth, will be the place of study for the Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors. On the other hand, the present High School will become Junior High in September of this year. This will be a complete, separate unit from the Senior High School and will have departmentalized teaching and ability grouping. One needs only to be with Mr. Horner a few minutes to realize the energy and the force of leadership that has carried him so swiftly to the position which he now holds. The Board of School Directors of Tamaqua are to be complimented on the selection of such a worthy man. we . , ,W . ffl 1 -t r.. W e - --M my ' xglnnf -- ' ' ng ,vsp .17 4 1 4,1 if ,wg '.
