NARCISSUS, 1933 G. W. YOUNGBLOOD Superintendent of Schools N the early history of our country, school cities were divided into districts administered by school commit- tees. These groups looked after the certification of teachers and their election, selected textbooks, superin- tended buildings and grounds and directed the instruction. After more than a century of evolution in school admin- istration citizens came to believe that the schools of a city could be better managed by a group of people called, in many states, the Board of Education, but in Indiana Peru Public School System By G. W. YOUNGBLOOD called the Board of School Trustees. The Board of Edu- many as forty-three members. work more economically and large body, consequently the reduced until a board seldom cation in some states had as A few persons can always more efficiently than can a number has been gradually has more than five members. Peru has only three. The members of the Peru Board of School Trustees are elected by the city council for a term of three years. The Board of School Trustees, as the representatives of the people, determines the general policy of the school system. After a policy has been determined its execution rests with the executive officer employed by the Board, the superintendent of schools. He directs the school organiza- tion and supervises the instruction given therein through his principals and supervisors. The Clerk of the Board keeps necessary records and furnishes information for the administration of the finan- cial matters of the Peru School City, and for the purchase of supplies. The stenographer, Miss Dora Toepfer, attends to the correspondence of the superintendent and assists the clerk in record keeping. The public schools constitute the greatest institution in Peru. Approximately twenty-five hundred children attend the Peru Public Schools, of Whom eight hundred fifty are in High School. It is through the schools that our democ- racy has existence. Government by the people would de- teriorate Without publiC schools. fcontinued on Page 282 BOARD OF EDUCATION A. H. COLE J. H.
