The Board of Education has put in another busy year upholding the high standards its members have set in the Rock Island public school system. The members of the board are: Carl F. Bauer, president, Virgil Ander¬ son, Junius P. Califf, Arthur J. Hause, and Dr. C. W. Motz. Earl H. Hanson is superin- HERBERT M. LINDSTROM Principal of Franklin group tendent of schools, and W. W. Bailey, as¬ sistant superintendent in charge of business and properties. The members of the board must see that all the students in the Rock Island system get the best training and guidance that can be obtained. Important parts of the board’s work are directing building and repairs, ordering textbooks, purchasing new equipment, and engaging new instructors to fill vacancies. With the increasing cost of operation, many hours have been spent solving financial prob¬ lems. An outstanding problem of the board this year was the question of where to put 716 students. These students were left without a school by the disastrous Central junior high school fire and the remodeling of Franklin junior high school. The majority of the students were sent to the high school. Textbooks were ordered immediately. The men on the board give generously of their time and thought in order to make the students of the Rock Island public schools better citizens through a sound educational system.
