DR. DAVID GIBBS Since August, 1911, Dr. David Gibbs has been superintendent of the Meriden public schools. His birthplace is Kingswood, New Jersey, and it was there that he also received his primary education. In 1894 he was graduated from the New Jersey State Normal School. Scientific and post graduate work at Harvard occupied the next five years of his life. The degree of Doctor of Philosophy was conferred on him in 1906 by Clark University. His experience in school work has been both broad and varied. District and grammar schools have been under his supervision, he has held the position of superin- tendent of schools in New York and Massachusetts, he has had the unique opportun- ity of being district superintendent in the Philippines, and later the head of the New York State Normal School, Oswego. After leaving this leadership he assumed the superintendency of our schools.

After having received his early education at Enid, Oklahoma, he entered and was graduated from Kingman High School. At Southwestern College, where he majored in political science and education, he received his A. B. degree. Here he was later an assistant in the department of education, after which he became connected with Blackwell, Oklahoma, High School, where he rose to be its principal, He left this occupation, and received his A. M., after taking a course at Columbia. and also at Yale. Mr. Bacon came to Meriden as instructor of history and coach of athletics, rising to be principal in 1916. He has continued to handle his work ef- ficiently. Mr. Bacon was president of the Headmasters' Club of Central Connecticut, secretary of State Athletic Conference, member of the New England Basketball Tournament Committee, Rotary Club, also Board of Directors at Y. M. C. A. Mr. Bacon is leaving M. H. S. this year to accept the leadership of a much larger school in Massachusetts. We regret the loss of Mr. Bacon, and hope his successor will accomplish as much as he has.
