Their one objective is to see that the students of Traverse City are given all the possible advantages of a modern, progressive educa- tion. Hiring teachers, supervising the activities of the superintendent of schools and principals, budgeting school finances for the year, and deciding other important issues which invariably arise, are only a few of the assignments of the board of Education. During the past year the Board has inaugurated a number of reforms in the curriculum of the school which have furthered immeasurably their ideal of a better-balanced, all-round liberal education. It is the duty of the superintendent, Mr. Loomis, to acquaint the board with the needs of the school system. T0 WHDM
