Educational Notes

How women have advanced from
the educational ranks TO the highest
administrative positions in the public
schools is interestingly revealed in
figures Just compiled by the United
States bureau OF education. Four
states-Colorado, Idaho, Washington
and Wyoming-have women al the
head Of their state school systems, and
there are now 495 women county su-
perintendents in the United States.
nearly double the number Of ten years
ago.
In some states women appear TO
have almost a monopoly Of the higher
positions in the public school system.
Wyoming has a woman state superta-
tehdent; the deputy state superintend,
ent is a woman: and Of the IA coun-
ties in the state. all but one are di,
rected educationally by women In
Montana, where there are 80 counties,
only one man is reported as holding
