REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
To the Citizens of the Town of Braintree:
Your School Committee presents the following report for the calendar year ended December 31, 1921.
1. Superintendent of Schools.
The most important duty which devolved upon the School Committee in 1921 was the selection of a Superin- tendent of the Schools. The office became vacant through the resignation of Mr. Clarence N. Flood, who left the position to accept a more remunerative one as educational salesman for a large book publishing company.
After a careful study of the qualifications of numerous candidates, the Committee unanimously elected to the position Mr. Charles Edward Fisher, who assumed the duties of the office on October 1, 1921.
Mr. Fisher is admirably equipped for the office, both as an educator and as a business administrator. His ed- ucation and experience may be briefly summarized as follows: Educated at St. Lawrence, Brown, and Clark Universities, with degrees of A.B. and A.M. Eleven years head of the mathematics department at the Rhode Island College of Education. Superintendent of Schools for four years at Westfield, Massachusetts, a city of over 18,000 population. Honorably discharged from service in the United States Coast Artillery. Superintendent of Schools in Georgetown, Rowley, and Groveland. Superintendent of Schools in Holliston, Merley, and Sherborn, from which place he came here. Your Committee is highly pleased with the manner in which Mr. Fisher has administered the office and is fully confident that the citizens of the town will heartily approve its choice.
