Mrs. Ella FIass Young, Su-
perintendeHt OF ChiGagO'S
Public Schools.

II N virtue OF her exalted position as
superintendent OF the Chicago
public schools Mrs Ella F1agg
Young is already the foremost
woman among the nations educators.
AS president of the Illinois Teachers
association she heads the pedagogical
profession in her state. If she is elect
ed president Of the National Educa-
tional association at its convention in
July in Boston, as seems possible, she
will be the professionally recognized
leader of the countrys teachers. 1t Is
hardly necessary to add that she will
be the first woman TO hold the posi-
ton. since no other woman has ever
advanced so far 10 the front IN the
profession of teaching as has Mrs.
Young
II was last year that Chicago as
tonished the country by eleeting Mrs.
Young to the Office of superintendent
Of the city's schools. The very idea of
woman superintendent OF schools
seems not to have suggested itself
previously to the boards of education
OF the country's big cities. and the
election caused sort Of shock. The
magnitude of the office with its SUPER
intendency Of more than 5000 teachers
and nearly 100000 pupils. its super
vision of the disbursement annually Of
more than $50. 100000 and its com
mand Of a salary OF $4,000. all sent a
thrill OF interest through those who
are interested in the nations school

lie an unheard Of thing, for no one
could even remember the suggestion
Of such choice. Since then another

The size Of the salary attached to
Mrs. Young's position was one thing
that aroused general comment II was
suggested In some quarters that If a
male superintendent of schools was
worth $4,000 a year a woman super
tendent could not earn so much. The
suggestion had even been made at the
meeting of the Chicago school board
which elected Mrs. Young. but the
fiery indignation Of Mrs. Isabelle
O'Keefe. the only woman member OF
the board and Mrs. Young's chief sup
porter, promptly and quickly squeIch-

had been. and there has been no sug

attempts to preserve the country's
forests are under way. The speedy
disappearance OF all our trees-which,
according 20 some estimates, will last
but twenty-five years longer at the
present rate Of consump tion-may be
STAYED OF a little longer. In the mean
time an attempt to solve the forest
preservation problem by attacking It
from a different angle is promising
good results. II is the endeavor to
save for use the two thirds Of each
tree which are now being wasted. II
scientific methods Of utilization will
enable us to use three thirds OF a tree
instead OF one third as at present. the
drain on the nations forests will meet
with a very effectual check The esti-
mate Of 6e 2-3 per cent waste at pres
