The Board of Education DR. S. B. LESLIE President HE exceptional excellence of, and the nation-wide prominence ac- corded to OklllUlg98,S school system is, in a large measure, due to the unusual personnel of its Board of Education. These splendid men, realizing that the chief business of any city is the education of its children, have been untiring in their efforts to give Okmulgee a school system equal to that afforded any city in the nation. When we consider the time which they have spent, year after year, without financial remun- eration, it is not to be wondered at that the school system which they have produced stands out for its efficiency, moderness, and excellency. Dr. Leslie has served in the capacity of President of the Board for more than sixteen years and has, along with several other members of the Board, seen our schools grow from the capacity of village schools to their present magnificent proportions. Okmulgee is, indeed, fortunate in having such men as Dr. Leslie, Dr. VV. M. Cott, D. W. Grier, John M. Robe and Henry BaldwIn to look after the welfare of its institutions of learning, and while it continues to secure men of such type its schools can not but Stand high in the educational World.

BRUNER Superintendent NDOUBTEDLY much of the prominence afforded to the Okmulgee School system is directly due to the efforts of its Superintendent, Herbert Bruner. A recognized leader in the ranks of education, Mr. Urum r has introduced ideas which have met with the approval of experienced educators throughout the nation. Mr. Bruner received his A. B. degree al Central College and his A. M. degree at the University of Missouri. llc was assistant in Educational Psychology, Missouri University, and Violessor of Education, Arkansas University. Mr. Bruner is on leave Of al-sence attending the University of Columbia, where he is Working on his !'li D. degree. Next year Mr. Bruner will be completely lost to Okmulgee, time he will take up his duties a member of the faculty in the Depart- 'iltlli oi' Education at Columbia University. Profound, indeed, is the iw ew-ct ol' all Okmulgeeans that the services of Herbert B. Bruner will no ffl!-95411 be available to the city whose schools have grown and expanded urnli-v' his guidance until they have become outstanding for their excellence 1fll'l rl'l'i4-ivlicy.
