SUPERINTENDING SCHOOL COMMITTEE REV. EDWARD WARD MR. ROY STEVENS The three members of the School Committee, elected by the people, serve for three years at a salary of S100 a year. One new member is elected MR. FORREST CHASE every year. The importance of the job far exceeds the small salary, for the Committee performs many important tasks. To do this, they have a regular meeting once a month, often supplemented by spe- cial meetings. The School Committee establishes policy for the custody, care, and maintenance of the schools. They approve a general course of instruction and establish and legislate the school policies. Jointly with other Committees in School Union 1912, they elect the Superintendent. The Committee also elects the teachers upon nomination by the Superintendent, determines what students shall attend the various schools, excludes students who are unfit or disturb the peace of the school, and approves the transporta- tion arrangements made by the Superintendent. The importance of the Superintending School Committee should not be underestimated. It is a vital organ in our school system and very important in its functioning. SUPERINTENDENT The Superintendent works closely with the School Committee, but he is not a member of it. l-le is its secretary ex officio, thus making a record of all its proceedings and keeping the financial records and accounts. After the Committee passes regulations, it becomes his duty to enforce them. l-lis nomination of the teachers and selection of text- books are both subject to the approval of the Committee. Independent of the Committee, the Superintendent visits the schools, supplies the annual report for the State Commissioner, and every term reports the record of finances to several committees of the supervisory union. He also supervises the work of the teachers. By law the Superintendent must devote his entire time to his job. This in itself indicates the importance of the office and its duties. I Superintendent MELVILLE H. JOHNSON
