THE ADMIRAL Ross N. Robinson, Superintendent The smoothly run school system of Kingsport owes most of its credit to our superintendent, Ross N. Robinson. Behind this efficient organization, that is so often taken for granted, is Mr. Robinson whose diligence and perseverance cannot be over- estimated.

The City School System of Kingsport has one of the best school boards in the country. The six citizens on the board are appointed by the City Fathers according to their capabilities to improve the educational system for the elementary schools and the high school. A superintendent to carry out their plans in the schools is appointed from the board. The board appoints the teachers in the City School System from all parts of the nation in order to give the students a broader point of view on sec- tional beliefs. It sets up a plan to improve the character and the mental and physical being of the students as well as to make model American citi- zens of the future generation. These six also select practical and adequate equipment to be used in the class- rooms. Mrs. Rowley finds Mr. RowIey's draft orders Page six
