Rites to Be Held Today For Man Who Directed Schools 20 Years
Clinton Emmett Rose, who was superintendent of Tucson's schools between 1920-1941, died late Thursday night after an illness of only a few hours.
He directed the city school system during its period of greatest growth, watching the physical plant expand with $3,000,000 worth of Improvements and its attendance increase by 200 percent.
He was widely known in educational circles and identified with many Tucson civic organizations.
The funeral services will be held today at 2:30 p.m. at the Masonic Temple, the body lying In state, at the Arizona Mortuary until just prior to the service.
Rev. Leland Koewing, pastor of Trinity Presbyterian Church, will give the sermon and John McBrlde will be the organ soloist.
The ashes of Mr. Rose will be sent to Orange, Calif., and there will be spread on the grave of his mother.
He leaves his widow, Mrs. Minnie Lawrence Rose, and two sons, Clinton Franklin and Lawrence Emmett, both of Los Angeles, who arrived in Tucson yesterday to join their mother.
She will accompany them back to Los Angeles tonight.
Short Illness
Mr. Rose had been ill but a few hours before his death. He attended the Rotary Club Wednesday and signed the membership records. However, he had been ln ill health for some years following an automobile accident.
He resigned as superintendent of schools in December, 1940, the resignation to become effective July 1, 1941, when Robert Morrow took over the position.
The Tucson school board insisted on making him superintendent emeritus of the school system and throughout the past year he has been at his office almost daily.
He was in charge of statistics and research. He completed a history of the Tucson school system from the early 1890's on to the present and he annotated the school minutes, creating a cross-reference system for the minutes which can be continued, said Morrow.
Flag at Half Mast
"Mr. Rose is one of the outstanding educators of the southwest and has been a leader in all educational work in Arizona for 21 years." said Morrow yesterday, as the flag at the school administration building hung at half-mast.
"I have known Mr. Rose professionally, as a fellow officer in the church, as a leader in the community, as a gentleman and as a friend.
Wherever he has labored his work has always been of a high order, and the good which he has accomplished for the schools and the communities in which he has lived is of inestimable value.
"Proud as Mr. Rose was of the increased and modernized school plant and its increased enrollment he was still more proud of other more important changes which have been effected.
When he took over in 1920 partisan politics ran rampant through the community and the Tucson school system was unknown, except for the adverse criticism which was directed toward it.
Standard Raised
"During his superintendency he worked assiduously to raise the standard of teaching and teacher qualifications; the standard of work demanded from the pupils was also raised and achievement reached a new high. All phases of school work received new emphasis and became vital and alive. And he had vision, saw the future needs of the school. The system now owns a 40-acre plot which was purchased for a building site of a high school which may not be built until 1950 or 1951." said Morrow.
Mr. Rose was successful in promoting eight bond Issues for a total improvement of $3,000,000 for the Tucson school system, that total Including some PWA funds in 1935 and 1938. He saw the school enrollment increase 200 percent and the school staff increase proportionately to handle the new student loads as they came.
Poetry and Music
In addition to the work for the schools, he was active In civic affairs.
He had time also to compose poetry and music, and at the time of his death, was writing a song for one of the army camps in southern Arizona.
Mr. Rose was a member of the Boy Scouts, receiving the Silver Beaver award, was on the board of the Y.M.C.A., an elder for many years of the Presbyterian church, a past president of the Rotary Club, a member of the Hiram Club, the Old Pueblo Club and the Tucson Chamber of Commerce.
He was a member of the Epes Randolph Lodge No. 32, Free and Accepted Masons, Arizona Consistory No, 1, A.A.S.R., EI Zaribah Temple, A. A. O.N.M.S., at Phoenix: Honorary 33rd and last degree of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite.
He was born In Marshall County, Iowa, May 20, 1875, a son of Benjamin F. and Esther Coate Rose.
He was educated In the public schools of Concordia, Kansas, received an A. B. degree from the University of Kansas in 1899 and an M.A. from Columbia University in 1913.
His teaching began in a rural school and then he took a position in the Beloit, Kan., high school, to become its principal two years later in 1901. He was named principal of the Boise, Idaho, high school in 1915 which position he held until chosen to superintend Tucson's schools in 1920.
