THE HIGH SCHOOL ' S NERVE CENTER Yes .... Sure .... I ' ve been here since a little past seven. You bet; I ' ll see that it ' s taken care of. . . . Thus begins the Principal ' s busy but interesting round of activities. But it is not the end. A little mouse crept in the office one day and here are some of the things it heard . . . Good morning, Mr. Painter . . . Hello, Marge . . . Hello, Lucille . . . Yes, you may use the telephone. . . . Why were you absent yesterday? . . . Have you the grade sheets copied, Lucille? .... Marge, how many haven ' t paid their fees yet? .... Lucille, I would like to see John J., Mary S., and Harry F., etc., etc., during the next two periods; will you send them in? . . . Your attention for announcements, please. Miss Gump, will you please see that the folks in 12 stop typing while these announce- ments are being made? .... Lucille . . . Walker K. wants a job in the G. E., will you make out his credit record while I ' m having my third and fourth period classes? .... Well, I am back right on schedule, 12:15, I must check up on the ratings of the seniors this afternoon Lucille, I wonder why there is no grade here for Charles E. in typing. He needs that to graduate. You say Miss Gump didn ' t have it on her grade sheet? You better bring him in Well, there are the last two Parent-Physician certificates to send to the I. H. S. A. A.; you had better get them in the mail this afternoon. And so, ad infinitum But somehow he manages to keep a big broad smile and a cheery word for everyone. Page 7

THE SCHOOL CITY ' S CLEARING HOUSE A unified, co-ordinated, balanced, and progressive school system is the ideal of our superintendent. There is almost no end to the varied activities necessary for the accom- plishing of this objective. Early and late, winter and summer the superintendent is on the job. A few of his frequently recurring responsibilities include an almost daily check-up at the School Bookstore; making sure that janitors and engineers are on duty at each of the buildings; providing substitutes in the absence of regular teachers; a careful check and analysis of the attendance reports from each of the various buildings; the ironing out of problems with regard to contagious diseases; and so on almost without number. The superintendent must have frequent and varied conferences: Conferences with pupils who have matters which must go to a final court of appeal ; conferences with parents; conferences with teachers; conferences with principals; conferences with the building architect; conferences with the building foremen; conferences with the Board of Education, conferences with State officials; conferences almost without end. Likewise upon the superintendent falls the responsibility of managing the school on a solid business basis. He must plan the school budget in such a manner that the needs for a whole year ahead will be amply provided for; he must find ways and means for raising the budget; and he must keep up to the minute on the school ' s legal business. Such are some of the activities of the manager of the community ' s most vital enter- prise.
