5 iz. am HE Clairian pays tribute to the most recent step taken up the ladder l935, the Board of Education saw fit to declare Saint Clair an inde- pendent school districtg independent of the office of the County Superintendent of Schools. We feel that recognition is due the man most responsible for the modern trend of educational philosophy now in our midst. Il of Saint Clair's educational development. At a meeting in December Mr. Charles Richard Birch established a very flattering record for himself during his matriculation at Saint Clair High School, Pottsville High School and Bucknell University. Serving in the schools of Saint Clair since l923 as teacher, High School Principal and Supervising Principal he now assumes the role of Superintendent of the Public Schools of Saint Clair. During his regime, the curriculum of the district has been distinctly a progressive one. The secondary course has been divided into three depart- ments: academic, commercial, and generalg and the curriculum increased. ln the fifth and sixth grades the work has been departmentalizedg and in the elementary division, science and guidance have been introduced. Music, dramatics, and athletics have increased the interest in extra-curricular activity. Now on the eve of Mr. Birch's being granted the degree of Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Pennsylvania, The Clairian and his many friends tender him their most sincere wishes for continued success and happiness. 6' 6 793 'so
