Superintendent Gibbs Dr. David Gibbs, superintendent of the Meriden public schools, was born in Kingswood, New jersey, in 1S70,and there received his grammar school education. After being graduated from the New Jersey State Normal School, in 1894, Dr. Gibbs entered Harvard University, where he spent four years in the Scientific School and one year in the post-graduate department. In 1906 he received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Clark University. Dr. Gibbs has, indeed, had a large experience in school work. He has acted as the head of district and grammar schoolsg held the position of superintendent of schools in both Massachusetts and New York, and has had the distinction of being division superintendent in the Philippines. While in the islands our superintendent became the author of several text- books for the use of the Filipinos. Then, returning to this country, Dr. Gibbs became engaged in school work in New York, acting as head of the State Normal Training School in Oswego. From the latter place he was called to Meriden, in August, 1911, and became our superintendent of schools. Within the short space of time in which Dr. Gibbs has been with us, he has had a great interest in the welfare of the com- munity at large. With pleasure we have especially noted his particular interest in the high school. ln Meriden he has been honored by the presidency of the Meriden Scientific Association and the vice-presidency of the Meriden Anti-Tuberculosis Association.
