Note |
Charles Childs was born in Geneseo, New York, and spent his youth in Wisconsin before briefly serving in the army. He had been teaching in California for several years when he began his studies at the Normal School. His reputation as a successful administrator in high schools and as Solano County Superintendent of Schools led to his appointment as principal of the Normal School. He was the first Normal School graduate to become principal. During his administration, the school saw the adoption of a new grading system, advances in manual training courses, and an increase in athletics—including the formation of a football team. After stepping down as principal, he remained on the faculty for several years and was then elected president of the California State Teachers Association in 1898. http://www.sjsu.edu/about_sjsu/history/presidents/ |
