Woman Head Of Chicago Schools.

A Woman Head Of Chicago Schools.
In choosing Mrs. Ella +! Young as
superintendent of the public schools of
the second largest city Of the country
the Chicago school board has OCCASION
ed more comment than perhaps ever
attended the election OF a school su-
p"erintendent in the nations history.
1t is significant that most Of the COM
ment has been of an approving char.
acter. Among the Chicago papers this
fact is in part accounted for by the
popularity and known efficiency OF
Mrs. Young. but in the remainder Of
the country this fact could have had
little or no influence. simply because
It was unknown. at least outside of
limited school circles. Therefore the
eommendation must be ascribed to the
one consideration that a woman has
been given this responsible position.
1t is recognized as q logical outcome Of
the ever larger part women have taken
as public school teachers.
Mrs. Young is slxty-four years old
and for forty-seven years has been a
teacher. having advanced step by step
from the lowest grade to the highest.
Al; of this time has been spent in Chi.
cago. most Of it in the public schools,
but part Of 1t as professor Of education
in the University Of Chicago and part
of 1t as principal of the Chicago Nor.
NAL school. Something Of the charac.
ter Of the woman may be judged from
the fact that she made up for her
lack Of a college education in odd mo.
ments after becoming a teacher and
studied for the degree Of doctor of
philosophy, which she received when
forty.ive years old.
Women already have been school s
perintendents in many western coun.
ties and in a few states. but this is
the first time one has been placed at
the head Of the schools of a great
city. The result Of the new departure
will therefore be watched with much
interest.

formed into two squads that were
pitted against each other in regu.

The team headed by Cy Dawson
was dubbed sThe Moguls,' and che
other aggregation was called aThe

The Moguls Jailed another one in
the second on a single into deep

The Markings pulled themselves

Burnett, of the Moguls, who land

Pitcher Brent. who passed three in

Burnett.

anything Burnett had the best Of the

MANY M0TORDRoMES.
Plans Being Completed For Several
Big Auto Racing Plants.


From present indications it will not
be long before the automobile world
will see a chain Of motordromes ex-
tending from coast to coast. At pres
ent there are circular auto speedways
at Atlanta and indianapolis. Plans
have been completed for similar struc-
lures in New York and in Detroit. II
is understood that a strong movement
is under way to provide Chicago with
a motOrdrOme, and now work has been
started on a big Los Angeles track. In
the event OF all the proposed motor
dromes being completed 1t will give
this country a well linked chain for
circular track speed contests.
The California mOtOrdrome will be a
most pretentious plant. A special ef-
fort will be made to have the structure
completed In about three months.
Plans have been made to stage the
opening speed pageant next April. The
hurried construction of the track is
made necessary by the fact that weeks
Of testing will be required before the
formal opening.
The present plans call for a circular
track. II will be Of the saucer" type.
special attention being paid to the
banking at the turns. The track will
be one mile i'm circumference. With
the adopting of plans calling for a
wood roadbed the promoters made a
decided departure from the usual line
followed in mOtordrome construction
The track will be built of heavy tim
bers, planked with finished lumber.
The banking all the way round will be
so steep as to permit Of 120 miles an
