them the ideas that will help me in
administering the schools" This is
the declared policy of Harriet Keller,
the new superintendent of public
schools IN Cleveland-the second wo-
man for that position in a large city,
Ella Flagg Young of Chicago being
the first. 1t is the same policy that
cd in the Chicago schools: leadership
instead Of ownership. Yet the 'busi-
ness school boards Of Chicago kept
the. school system ~demoralized for
years with their stubborn efforts to
factoryize the schools by ownership.

better Chicago policy of putting Il wo-
man in charge, is significant of a
growing realization Of the need Of the
lie affairs.
