PIONEER PRESIDENT SUTHERLAND William J. Sutherland was born 011 a farm near Cherry Valley, Illinois, April 14, 1865. He finished the eighth grade of the district school and then attended the high school at Fairdale, Illinois. He was graduated from the Illinois State Normal University in 18925 received the degree of Ph. B. from the University of Wisconsin in 1902, and the degree M. A. from the same uni- versity in. 1909. After his graduation from the normal, he was principal of the village school of Yorkville, Illinois, for two years, and then became city superintendent at Oregon in the same state. Later he was superintendent at Charleston for one year. His next position was in the normal school at Macomb, where he was at the head of the Depart1nen.t of Geography and Geology. He resigned at the end of six years to accept the principalship of the city training school of St. Paul. In 1909 he became president of the Platteville Normal School. President Sutherland has contributed to several educational magazines. In 1909 he published a book entitled The Teaching of Geography, which has received state adoption in six states. Perhaps his paper on. Vocational Aspect of Regional Geography, which was given at the 1913 meeting of the Central Association of Science and Mathematics Teachers, and which was published in the School Science and Mathematics magazine and later in The Literary Digest, has received more favorable comment than. any other article he has written. It is believed that this recognition makes President Sutherland a leader not only in the teaching of his special subject, geography, but in the molding of all modern educational thought. 1914-
