School Board Chooses Male Associate Superintendent
The Board of Education elected Dr. William I. Ettinger as Associate City Superintendent to succeed Dr. Brien with his term ending June 30. The decision follows withdrawal of women candidates, including Miss Trace Strachan, as Ettinger was deemed certain to win. Ettinger, a native of the city and graduate of local schools, Manhattan College, and the University Medical College, began teaching at La Salle Academy and joined the New York public school system in 1883, later becoming District Superintendent in 1909. The meeting also named Gilbert Blakely and Arthur Wolfson to new high school principal posts in the Bronx and Manhattan. The Interborough Association of Women Teachers urged one female principal. Dr. Adler donated 1420 for prizes to encourage clear enunciation in schools, funded by Mrs. Elizabeth Burnz on her deathbed.
