Reconsidering the Power of the Superintendent in the Progressive Period.
Thomas, William B.; Moran, Kevin J.
American Educational Research Journal, v29 n1 p22-50 Spr 1992
To test R. E. Callahan's (1962) theory about superintendents' vulnerability to interest groups, the career of E. C. Hartwell is examined. Hartwell's career in three cities (1914-22) demonstrates the power that a superintendent could acquire and wield. (SLD)
