 With the opening of the present school year, Mrs. Ella Flagg Young took her place as principal of the Chi- nago normal school. It Is the first time In America that a woman has been ap- pointed head of co-educational nor nal school in one of our largest cities. The salary attached 10 Mrs Young's post is 5000.
 Ella Flagg Young is remarkable educator. The Chicago school superin- tendent recommended for her principal of the normal school, and the school management committee indorsed the nomination unanimously. President Tilden of the educational board acqui- esced in the judgment of Superintendent Coaley and Ella Flagg Young got every vote.
 Ella Flagg was born in Buffalo and educated In the Chicago schools. from primary to high and normal. Later she studied and obtained the degree of Ph. D. from the Chicago University.

her mind could penetrate the mind of child and understand 1t, how compre- bend its individuality in each case and help 1t solve It's intricate problems. She was at once a natural born teacher, a natural born psychologist and lover of oh ldren.
 Year by year the power of this clear seeing, profoundly thinking woman strengthened, year by year her influence widened. Step by step along with this went official promotion. From 1887 till 1899 she was district superintendent of schools. She had the reputation of be- Ing able to manage unruly boys hetter than any other person in the Chicago public schools
 In 1899 this distinguished pedagogue was asked to take a professorship in .he educational department of the Chi cago University. Now she is the head of the normal college. First and last she is Chicago product and one the great Western city ought to be proud of. :-....
 Magnetism and control are expressed In the very presence of Mrs. Young. with her strong, intellectual face and direct looking eye. She sees below the surface of things. sees and comprehends, because she Is so hoT ,. with herself and everybody else, most of all, perhaps. with little children. Small regard has she for the professional pedagogical dignity which would throw Superior being" glamour around the teacher In a papmhlet she has written on Ethics in the Schoor' Mrs. Young says tho teacher-Miss Smith, for instance-who Is imbued with the sense of the profes- sional self, on entering the schoolroom In efrect changes the command of the Christ, Suffer little children to come unto me-" to Suffer little children to come unto Miss Smith,"
 Rivalry and competition among chil- dren at home or in school Mrs. Young considers weed to be rooted out. It kills the development of individual from unworthy motives. The direct ed. the suggested. the premeditated ri- valry develops low forms of competi- tion," she writes.
 Mrs. Young has written considerable on the scientific education, all to the purpose. Since 1889 she has been a member of the Illinois State board of education. She believes that there are still good prospects for aspiring women In the teaching profession under favor able conditions, the first which she de- clares to be on the part of the women a positive interest in the life of the chill dren or young people whom they teach. Just so!
 Women teachers are devoted to Mrs IouH6, one W1S the HrSt president or the Schoolmistresses' Club of Illinois The women principals of Chicago honor her so highly that they have for some years maintained an organization call ed the Ella F. Young Club, disproving the mean little charge that women are not willing to serve under women boss es."
 On the whole, does it not seem as if the cause of true education would have sustained COnSidara hla loss if Ella F Young had been turned down as a teacher because she was a married wo- man?
