The Building Department, which is in charge of the Commissioner of School Buildings, has the responsibility for school buildings and grounds, not only for their construction, but for their maintenance and operation. The various divisions in the Building Department are the Architectural, which has charge of' the plans and specifica- tions for new buildings and the direction of their construction, the Operating Division, which carries out the heating and ventilating of school plants and their cleaning, the General Maintenance Divi- sion, which makes all repairs and alterations on school buildings, the Plumbing, Heating and Ventilating and Electrical Divisions, which are in charge of experts in each of these fields, so that these branches of school construction may be kept at their best, the Land- scaping and Playgrounds Division, which has the function of beau- tifying the planted areas around the school buildings, and the Transportation Division, which has charge of the moving equip- ment of the Board of Education. The Auditing Department, in charge of the Auditor, has two gen- eral duties. As general accountant for the Board of Education, the Auditor is charged with the preservation of accounts, vouchers and contracts pertaining to school affairs. In addition to that, he must examine and audit all accounts or demands against the Board, and certifygheir correctness to the Secretary and Treasurer before they are pai . The Supply Department, in charge of the Supply Commissioner, directs the purchase and distribution of all of the movable equip- ment and supplies in the St. Louis Public Schools. In the warehouse of the Board of Education, over which he has supervision, the Board stores materials to be used in the schools in vast quantities. Since the St. Louis Public Schools occupy an unique place in the country as one giving free supplies to all of its students, the num- ber of materials under the control of the Supply Commissioner ap- proximate almost 3,000 items, and the number of books approxi- mate 1,200,000. The Attorney of the Board of Education has direction over all legal matters pertaining to the business of the Board. It is indeed a great step from the first school and its simple organi- zation in 1838 to the present day, when we find in St. Louis nine public high schools, twenty-one ninth grade centers, two vocational schools, two Teachers Colleges, one hundred seven elementary schools, and thirty special schools. It is a far cry, indeed, from the simple school for all types of pupil, offered in 1838, to the specialized schools such as the Michael, Turner, Gallaudet, and Taussig which are available to the sub- normal child, and to which transportation is provided. As President of the Board of' Education it is indeed a pleasure to congratulate and commend the people of St. Louis on the fore-sight, initiative and perseverance that has made possible the improved school which is now available to all the children of our City.
