Ford graduated from Dallas College in 1905, and has been employed in the Dallas Schools most of the time since, beginning his professional career in the North Dallas Public School and gradually ascending to his present position, Superintendent of City Schools.

His work in the promotion and development of all branches of the Public School and High School is commended by all. Professor H. H.
