For release Wednesday A.M., June 28, 1944. Statement by Mr. Locke. "During the past four months, the school commissioners have made a careful study of the selection of a superintendent of schools to succeed the late DeWitt S. Morgan," stated Theodore L. Locke, president of the Board of School Commissioners. "We have carefully canvassed the field of executives in our own system and elsewhere and we have had the counsel of educational authoritites in Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, and at leading universities in the mid-west and in the east. "It is our feeling that Mr. Stinebaugh, whom we have selected, is better qualified to take over the superintendency of the Indianapolis public schools than any of the other candidates for the position. "We believe that Mr. Stinebaugh has demonstrated his ability as a school administrator and that he has the confidence and respect of his associates and of the many citizens who have the welfare of the public schools at heart. He has had the advantage of close association with the two previous superintendents and their colleagues. His training and experience, and his un-questioned integrity and high professional standards are such as to insure that the administration of our public schools will be in good hands."
