I , 1 J. H. Davlsox P. L. Vosxnumu 0llDl?3SlDE9EE'A3UlN1U'ElNQIEDElNJU' FUND PEQUENCIIEDEFD Mr. Joseph H. Davison, our superinten- dent, has directed the schools for the last three years. During this time he has been active not only in the schools but in the community as well. Mr. Davison's duties are similar to those of the chief executive of any war industry or business firm. He is the center: for it is from and to him that the system operates. It is he who annually submits a budget esti- mating the cost of the schools, together with the program of work to be accom- plished. He mnstkeep the Board of Edu- cation informed in respect to progress and achievements that are made. Mr. Davison is the supervisor of instruction and also the leader, adviser, inspirer, and friend of the teachers. It is he who expertly guides the education of the youth of our community. I Our principal, Mr. P. L. Vosburgh, has been in Shamokin a long time. He came as a high school teacher, but before many years had passed, he was chosen to fill the position of principal. Mr. Vosburgh, as high school principal, may be compared to an engineer with three main roles: as an organizer, as a SllpC1'- visor, and as a manager. As an organizer he must see that the school runs adequately. It is his duty to see that the policies of the Board of Education and of the Superin- tendent are carried out. The principal also acts as supervisor. He is the experi- enced teacher who helps both pupils and teachers to discover better ways of car- rying on their work. As manager l1e is obliged to run his institution competently. This is very detailed. Although he can delegate these functions, nevertheless, they are Mr. Vosburgh's responsibility.

HE BOARD of Education are the representatives of the community. It is they who make the iinal decision on the program of education and who acquaint the citi- zens with this program. The most important single duty that the Board of Education performs is the selection of the chief execu- tive oH'icer-the superintendent. It is the duty of the Board of Education to work with him in carrying out the program which he and they have planned. THE CUJEFDWQB Q?
