J. MCLEAN REED Superintendent of Schools Ohio Northam University Ohio State Univarsify City Administration 'l'1tu-wily'-t'zm The education of a child is a difficult thing to accomplish. The problem of pro- viding for the education of every child in a city the size of Danville is proportionally more difficult. For this reason, Danville was fortunate in having a group of in- dividuals who devoted a great portion of their time to this problem. A great part of the work done in the City Administration was done by the school board. It was com- posed of civic-minded citizens of the city, who served their terms without pay. Part of the administrationis duty was the continued evaluation and improvement of the educational policies of Danville. To- ward this end the board formed three study committees. These committees were under the direction of consultants from the Uni- versity of Illinois, and Dr. McLean Reed, the Superintendent of Schools. The Held of Pupil Populationn was investigated by Dr. Merle R. Sumptiorfs group. This group compared present enrollment ligures with estimates of the study made two years ago and revised their predictions accordingly. Chairman of the Pupil Programi' com- mittee was Mrs. Helen Coolley. They de- SUPERINTENDENT'S OFFICE Standing: Mrs. D. Swisher. Seated: Mrs. L. Pearson: Mrs. V. Johnson.
