Mr. Allen is a graduate of the public schools of Iowa Falls, Iowa, and took his undergraduate work at Stan- ford University, California, the University of Michigan and Ellsworth College, Iowa. His graduate training in- cludes two years of work -in the Harvard University Graduate School of Education. The supervising principal was engaged for ten years in teaching and administrative work in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, in a school system which consolidates the educational facilities of five Detroit Suburban commu- nities in several elementary and Junior-Senior High Schools. Here he was promoted to Administrative As- sistant to the Superintendent of Schools. Later he be- came Director of Administrative Services of the com- plete system, followed by Supervisor of Schools in- vo- cational Iields. Before coming to Akron, 19 years ago, Mr. Allen was supervisor in charge of the selection and assignment of trainees in the Detroit Vocational Educa- tional Program for National Defense. Among the major accomplishments achieved by Mr. Allen are the centralization of the school district, and the construction of the elementary school and gym and swimming pool. During his tenure the enrollment has considerably increased and with it there has been a siz- able increase in the instructional staff and other school personnel.
