Superintendent vs. educator[edit]
A few citations read he was a university superintendent (which is a type of school administrator role),[1][2] and I only find one citation that stated he was an educator.[3] The superintendent citations appear to be more reliable sources (and the GSA.gov source is a federal government blog post with citations). It is possible he did both job roles, but none of the citations stated that. Adding a note here to clarify the decisions. Please feel free to further develop, and share a note here too.

- More specifically "superintendent of manual training and industrial arts" which sounds like a teaching position to me, but perhaps best to just expand and include more details about his educational roles and titles. FloridaArmy (talk) 13:34, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
- Sorry about the slow response user:PigeonChickenFish, I responded yesterday but site maintenance was going on and as the banner notification warned my edit was eaten. Positions such as "superintendent of industrial arts" sound educational more than administrative to me but probably best to just include as many details as we can with titles consistent to the sources. Thanks for all your great work! FloridaArmy (talk) 22:29, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
- Oops. Now I see I responded twice. FloridaArmy (talk) 22:33, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
- @FloridaArmy:, no worries! Thanks for responding. I don’t think he was a teacher in those two roles, because at that point in his career he did not yet have an undergraduate degree but I could be proven wrong (as it was a long time ago)! PigeonChickenFish (talk) 22:58, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
