INNOVATION IN SCHOOL ADMNISTRATION Mayville Central School has embarked on a new venture in school administration. ln order to place more emphasis on supervision and cur- riculum planning, the Board of Education has created a new position which will relieve the supervising principal of some of his responsibilities. At present, this position is entitled Business Assist- ant to the Principal. Eventually it is planned that this will become subject to civil service regulations. By a vote of the Board of Education, Mr. Wil- liam H. Bennink was selected for this position. Mr. Bennink was graduated from Sherman Central School in l94O. After one year of further edu- cation at Ohio State University and one year at William H' Bennink Oswego State College for Teachers, he spent four years in the service ot his country. During this time he became First Lieutenant and fighter pilot in the Air Corps, located in the Pacific theater of war. Following discharge he entered Buffalo State College for Teachers and was graduated in January, l949, with a maior in Industrial Arts. In February, I949, he was employed as a teacher in Mayville Central School. His teaching assignment was Junior High mathematics, science and industrial arts. ln his present position his duties include those of Clerk of the Board of Education, responsibility of purchasing all equipment and school materials, supervision of buildings and grounds and of school bus operation. In addition to acting as business assistant, Mr. Bennink is teaching industrial arts. We are proud of the fact that Mayville Central School is one of the first schools of its size to promote this new idea in school administration. It is hoped that this will mean better relationship between school, Board of Education and the State Department. Members of the Pacemaker staff wish to congratulate Mr. Bennink and the Board of Education on this progressive movement and extend to them our wishes for its continuing success.
