After four years of military service in the First World War, he was a leader in the reform of secondary schools under the Social Democratic Education Minister Otto Glöckel involved, who appointed him in 1919 in the reform department of the Ministry. After the Social Democratic Party resigned from the government in 1920, Glöckel became president of the Vienna City School Council and Furtmüller followed him in 1922 to the Vienna School Board, where the educator and psychologist took over the post of provincial school inspector and continued to actively promote the school reform with individual psychological and social goals.
