BROOKLYN PUBLIC SCHOOL RECEPTION.

The friends OF the pupils of Primary Department
School No. 25 Walworth street, near Myrtle avenue
Brooklyn, assembled at that building yesterday
afternoon and witnessed the reception exercises
OF the scholars. The exhibition, which embraced
Rotations, dialogues, caisthenics, solos, duets
and musical selections was gone through with in
such a manner as to reject the highest credit upon
the untiring zeal OF the experienced and compe-
tent management OF the lady principal OF the de-
partment, Mrs. M. Forbes, and her corps OF assist
ant teachers. To make any distinction between
the bright children who took part In the chief Sc
lectons on the programme would appear iuvidious.
Suffice it, therefore, to accord to the school and its
management all honor won by the pupils. Toward
the conclusion OF the reception remarks were made
by Mr. Phelps, Chairman OF the Local School Com
and Mr.. Clark. Mr.. Sprague, in the course OF his
remarks dwelt upon the great advantages which
school children now enjoyed over the boys and
girls who attended public school with him. on the
corner of Adams and Concord streets, upward OF
thirty years ago, when Brooklyn was only village.
In those days they had neither pencils or pens to
write with at that school, and were required to
trace their characters on sand, each pupil being
supplied with box fun OF that material for that
purpose. There were about one hundred children
then at public sch0o-to-day we have 900 chill
dren az superior school houses, enjoying all the
advantages which educational training has devel-
oped AS best adapted TO the instruction OF youth.
The cry is still heard for greater accommodation
more school houses are wanted. Let them be built.
NO better legacy bc given to the children OF the
city than that which IL invested In educational fac'B
