The Cub Pack The Program of CUBBING is now entering its seventh year. Throughout this period the Patrons' Association has sponsored a Cub Pack at Kennard School. Boys of the School, between the ages of nine and twelve, are most cordially invited to join the Pack. This year the Pack has an enrollment of twenty boys, divided into three Densbalndfeach Den is under the supervision of a Den Mother and a Den ie . It has been definitely learned that the Cub trained boy, upon enter- ing the ranks of Scouting, becomes a more enthusiastic and consci- entious Scout than the boy who has missed the pre-Scout training which Cubbing offers. In promising, to be square, to do my best, and to obey the laws of the Cub Pack, the boy steps forth toward the development of good character habits, a desire to excel, and a sense of social responsi- bility which undoubtedly will stand him in good stead in later life. l CHICKASAW DEN: Joseph Carbone, William Hackel, Louis O'Leary, Angelo Marino, William Simon, Charles Timmerman.

The St. Louis Public Schools BY HON. JAS. J. FITZGERALD President of the Board of Education The St. Louis Public Schools, as an institution, received their origi- nal incorporation under the name of The Board of Trustees for Superintending Schools in the Town of St. Louis, on January 30, 1817. The original trustees were men whose names will live forever in the history of St. Louis. They were: General William Clark, William C. Carr, Colonel Thomas H. Benton, Bernard Pratte, Auguste Chouteau, Alexander McNair and John P. Cabanne. The Board of Trustees was succeeded on February 13, 1833, by a new act of incorporation, which charter, through several successive amendments, is the one under which the present schools operate. On April 1, 1838, the first public school was opened in St. Louis. This was at the corner of Fourth and Spruce Streets and was called the Laclede School, in honor of the founder of St. Louis. The first teachers elected were Miss Mary H. Salisbury and David Arm- strong, who were appointed March 3, 1838. The St. Louis Public Schools are under the direction of a Board of Education of twelve members, who serve for a term of six years, four of whom are chosen every other year. The administration of the schools proper is in the hands of the ofiicers of the Board of Education, who are the Superintendent of Instruction, the Secre- tary and Treasurer, the Commissioner of School Buildings, the Auditor, the Supply Commissioner, and the Attorney. The Superintendent of Instruction has direct control over all activi- ties in the Department of Instruction. Each school is in the direct charge of a Principal who has full authority over the work in his institution and who bears a direct responsibility to his assistant superintendent. The Department of Instruction also maintains special services for all of the schools in the fields of health and hygiene, testing and research, school attedance, and in educational supplies and equip- ment. The other officers of the Board of Education have direct con- trol and charge over the various activities of the Board itself. The Finance Department has as its function the financial adminis- tration of the schools. In this office all obligations of the Board are paid, whether they be salaries of employees or bills incurred in the disposal of the business of the schools. The funds of the Board of Education by law are protected by bonds of the United States, the State of Missouri, and the City of St. Louis, placed by the Board's depository in a third agency to guarantee their safety. The Secre- tary and Treasurer's office also has charge of all of the records of the Board of Education and keeps copies of the Board meetings. 20
