Clarence E Ackley who is 63 years old today is an acknowledged leader in Pennsylvania
educational circles. The son of Samuel Ackley, a farmer, and Sarah McGarry Ackley,
he was a student at Caldwell high school and latter attended Oberlin college
where he was awarded the degrees of bachelor of arts and masters of arts in 1910
and 1913 respectively. Subsequently, during the course of his activities he
pursued graduate studies at teachers college of Columbia university and the University
of Pittsburgh, receiving the degree of doctor of philosophy from the latter institution
in 1933.
With this background of training it was only natural for Dr Ackley to have
made teaching and education his lifes work, and thus, as his first position he
served as super intendant of schools at Chesterland from 1910 to 1912. This
was followed by six years spent as teacher of English in high schools of Helena,
Montana and Louisville Kentucky, and by the succeeding ten years as super intendant
of schools in various communities of Kentucky. To complete what may be described
as the first phase of his career, he next served as associate superintendent
of schools at Jacksonville Florida from 1928 to 1930.
Since the latter years, Dr Ackley has played an important part in the educational
systems of Pennsylvania; and, as such he was research associate at the University
of Pittsburgh from 1933 t0 1935 and state deputy superintendent of public instruction
from 1935 to 1943. After a short interlude with the U. S. Office of Education,
he was appointed education specialist for the Pennsylvania Economy League, Harrisburg,
which office he since held.
As may be expected he is active in the professional societies of his field,
including the National Education Association, Pennsylvania Education Association,
American Association of University Professors, and has been a frequent contributor
of articles, particularly on school law, to their journals.
Dr Ackley was married twice- to Hallie G Radcliff of South Olive, Ohio and
to Ruth S Jones and is the father of two children. He makes his home in Camp
Hill, Pa. He died in Jun 1965 in Pennsylvania.7,13,76

of knowledge and is
well qualified for the office of superintendent of schools of Ashland, which
position he has filled for a period of five years. He was born March 28, 1887,
in Caldwell, Ohio, and is a son of Samuel and Sarah (McGarry) Ackley. He was

was superintendent of the consolidated schools of Chester township, Ohio, directing

boys' high school at Louisville, Kentucky. He acted in that capacity for four
years and in 1918 was offered the post of assistant superintendent of the schools
of Louisville but accepted instead the superintendency in Anchorage, Kentucky,
where he spent two years. In 1920 he took charge of the schools of Winchester,
Kentucky, and since 1922 has been at the head of the Ashland schools, which
have made notable progress in the intervening period. He has a natural aptitude
for the profession and his work has been highly satisfactory.

Association and is connected with the superintendents' department of the national
organization. Dr Clarence Emerson ACKLEY and Ruth Janes SCOTT were divorced
