Zke ' Directors Seated: Mr. Earl H. Hanson, Superintendent of Schools, Dr. C. W. Motz, Mr. Carl F. Bauer, Mr. Arthur J. House. Standing: Mr. Virgil Anderson, President of the Board, Mr. Junius P. Califf, Mr. W. W. Bailey, Assistant Superintendent of Schools. The cornerstone of the Rock Island pub¬ lic school system is the Board of Education. These seven key men are responsible for the operation of our entire school system, and that is a big job. This year the board has taken great strides in the extension and improvement of our school system. With the burning of Central junior high school last year, strain was placed on our other schools. To ac¬ commodate the displaced students, the board has appropriated approximately six hundred fifty thousand dollars for the ex¬ tension of the other school buildings, and one million two hundred thousand dollars for the rebuilding of Central. Last year 1,000,000 dollars was spent on the addition to Franklin junior high school alone. These figures give an idea of the size of the job that the school board does. Selecting textbooks and equipment and filling vacancies left by instructors are also important p arts of the board ' s work. In per¬ forming all these duties the members of the school board are constantly on the lookout for new ideas, methods, and pro¬ grams that help to give the students of Rock Island the best training and guid¬ ance possible. We may thank the board ' s untiring ef¬ forts for the well-rounded educational program we have in Rock Island, and for the fine equipment that enables the school system to maintain the high standard that has been set in previous years. 12
