There are women in Ontario with a similar title but Miss Scribner believes they work mainly as as- sistant to a male superintendent. | Miss Scribner's bailiwick 1s the Gull Lake district in the south- western part of the province. She likes it there, and says she can see no advantage in, transferring from one place to anoincr. She would be happy to spend the re-t of her life -- although she wasn't sure that would be a good either for herself or the district. The Gull Lake has been on the job since 1946. Her training includes a bachelor's de- gree and a certificate course in edu- cation at the University of Saskat- chewan and a term as school prin- cipal at Wapella, Sask. Miss Scribner says that as a wom- an she no doubt approaches her work in a manner different from male superintendents and the peo- ple she encounters have a different attitude to her than they would failure, she said, depends on the individual man or woman. She has no feeling she is doing a man's job, It is her job, and she | expects and receives excellent co- | operation from other educational { workers in theedistrict. Miss Scribner explained the work lad | superintendent | have toward a man. But success or | of superintendent is to give leader- | ship in education within the area. | In addition to her routine visits to | the school rooms, during which she sees exactly what is being done in | the classes and gives practical ad- {vice and assistance to the teacher, | she does a good deal of executive work. This includes visiting the various school boards to discuss problems of education. During the winter | she prepares reports on the indivi- | dual teachers for the provincial De- partment of Education. She come plies statistics and gathers informa- tion on the 83 school districts which make up her area. Misc Scribner is strongly in fa- vor of the larger school unit as a means of improving educational standards and increasing the effi- ciency of educational workers. Often she accompanies groups of parents and trustees on visits to Shaunavon or Maple Creek, or other neighboring towns which are in a larger school unit. The result, she says, is always the same. The visit ors realize that children attending larger area schools are enjoying | educational benefits which are not | available to children in the Gull Lake area, or in other areas out- side the unit. in a firm of real estate agents | here are Messrs. Sparrow and Chicken. They're hoping that no | Mr, Hawk turns up. | In The Community Personals Accounts of social events and of visitors to and from the city are appreciated by the Social Department.
