CHICACO'S new

TENDENT AT WORK
(By The Associated Press. }

Chicago, Mar. 17--Dry Charles f.
Chadsey today began his four year term
as superintendent OF Chicago public
schools at salary of $4,000 n year,
one of the largest salaries paid to an
educator IN America.
Many of the innovations added to
Detroit's educational system during the
seven years DR.. Chadsey was superin-
tendent of public schools there are ex-
pected to he introduced into Chicago's
school system.
DR.. Chadsey is an ardent advocate of
applying psychology to education and
one of his first acts on taking up the
tenn meet problems Of the indiyidual
student. Special classes were created
for pupils of subnormal and abnormal
mentality. He also established special
classes for deaf and provided open air
schools For tubercular pupils.
DR.. Chadsey bridged the gap be-
tween the grammar grades and the high
schools by institution of junior high
schools, which educators considered a
big forward step.
A radical change in teaching methods
in Detroit also was brought about when
DR.. Chadsey discarded the old plan of
having instructors in the higher grades
direct classes in several courses. His
idea of having teachers specialize in
one course, it is said. did much to in
crease their efficiency. 1t was chiefly
through DR.. Chadsey's efforts that De-
troit adopted the city university pla
enabling pupils to obtain higher educa-
ton without leaving home.
A strong advocate of democracy and
social equality in the School room, he
brought about the elimination of fratn.-
mites in the Detroit high schools Il
year after his appointments.
Establishment of vocational classes,
expansion of the technical school idea,
increased high school facilities, and
special care for crippled school children
were other Developments M .Detroit's s
educational system during Dr. Chad
sey's administration.
