R. PHILIPP HUBER, Superintendent of Schools of Union School District, comprising the City of Saginaw, West Side, is a product of the best educational systems of Germany, the place of his nativity, but for over a quarter of a century has been a citizen of this country and has become thoroughly imbued with the enterprise and spirit which have given to the land of his adoption a leadership among the nations of the world. Mr. Huber came to Saginaw in 1891, and until 1894 was supervisor of German in the Bliss and other school buildings of the district. In that year, the Board of Education, recognizing his capacity, made him principal of the building now known as the John Moore School. This position he filled until 1903, at which time, the district, being in need of one to perform the executive duties and to carry on the larger work of Superintendent, the Board promptly advanced him to that place. Since then he has continued to exercise the functions of that important office with credit to himself and to the district. During his incumbency additional school facilities have been inaugurated, old school buildings have been modernized and several new ones erected, among which is the Arthur Hill Trade School, now in successful operation, and into these modern improve- ments and structures, as well as into the large educational work of the district, the energies and judgment of Mr. Huber have entered to a great extent. As an educator and citizen he is held in high esteem. L. T. DURAND, President of School Board.
