Through his ability as an educator, our superintendent has brought the Michigan City Public Schools up to a state of efficiency that they have never enjoyed before. During his term of office, the splendid new High School building has been built, the Manual Training and Domestic Science Departments have been introduced into the public school system, and the departmental plan has been put into operation in the seventh and eighth grades in Central School.
