First woman to serve as superintendent in a metropolis
Ella Flagg Young of Chicago has become the first woman to hold the post of superintendent in a major city. Her career spans from the ABC grade to the top job, with a salary of 10 dollars a year noted as the largest for a woman in teaching. Jacob Riis tours America to gauge public sentiment on reform, while Brazil’s General Hermes da Fonseca plans to visit and potentially pivot U.S. methods. Maria M. Ricker of Dover files to run for New Hampshire governor under the new primary law, backed by endorsements and a history in law and suffrage work.
