The poet Whittier ought to be one Of the poets
OF Christmas, because his quiet spirit is 80 much
in sympathy with the ''solemn Joy" that underlies
the merriment of the day. His contribution to
the Christmas Number of - Harpcr's Magazine
is virtually Christmas poem, for it tells anew the
story Of Supper of St. Gregory and his beggar
guest, who proved to be the Founder Of the Feast
Himself. The closing lines are among the finest
the Quaker poet has written
''Unheard, because our ears are dull;
Unseen, because our eyes are dim,
He walks our earth. the Wonderful,
And all good deeds are done TO Him. y
The succeeding (January) Number of Harper's
will have a fine portrait Of Whittier and richly
Illustrated paper upon him from the pen of his
friend. Mrs Harriet Prescott SpOtord.

EDUCATION IN BROOKLYN.
NEED or A TRAINING SCHOOL.
LACK OF PREPARATION FOR THE WORK
OF TEACHING,

The article in The TRIBUNE last Sunday on
the Brooklyn schools attracted much attention.
following rs it did two articles on previous Sun
DAVIS showing the needs and defects of the
schools in this city. In our city extravaganza
prevails in nearly every part of the educational
system: in the other such excessive economy
has be,D carried on for years that serious re-
sults have followed. In the article
last veel, if was shown that Brooklyn, with half
os many school children as New-I York, educates
them for one-third the money that this city
pays. Interviews were published which showed
that more liberal spirit has been exhibited IN
bcbolf of the schools during Mayor Lows adj
ministration. but not in the direction OF adj
vonced instruction. The sanitary condition OF
the schools was also commented upon.
TRIBUNE reporters have been busy since
the last article was printed in aSccrtalnng'
among other things the preparation that the
teachers of Brooklyn receive for their work.
Here q lamentable defect was pointed out.
They literally have not an hours training. The
difficulty of removing incompetent teachers was
explained by Mr. IIinrichs, the chairman OF the
Committee on Teachers. DIR. Griffin urged
higher salaries for the younger teachers. The
condition of the Central Grammar School was
condemned by several gentlemen prominent III

VIEWS OF AN OLD PRINCIPAL.

Grammar School No. rs is in WilsOn-st., near Bed
ford-ave. The building was erected in 1858 and
Leonard Dunkly has been principal there since the
school started. 1t has three departments
grammar, intermediate and primary. There are two
heads of departments. Mr. Dunkly presides over
the top floor and supervses the entire school. The
classrooms separated by glass doors which slide
apart, making one large assembly room when neces-
sary. Noticing that half of the seats in one room
were empty, the reporter asked Mr. Dunkly how
many children had been refused admission this term
for lack Of room. He replied that about fifty had
been sent away from the primary department be-
cause the rooms were overcrowded. He explained
later that all of the classes in the grammar grades
divided, there being nineteen classes in the six
grades; the average attendance last year S36.
Tho division of the classes into sections made it
necessary to place the sections in separate rooms.
In one of the primary rooms the class numbered
more than 100 scholars, but the principal said it
was impossible to fill the vacant seats in the upper
rooms by promotion in order to tighten the lower
classes.
/" What is your opinion about preparing teachers
in training schools p Mr. DunkIy was asked
They would learn things there theoreti-
cally" he replied, but still it would be q superficial
training The real good comes when girl is placed
in charge Of a class in a school She then feels the
responsibility Of her position, and begins to learn the
art of teaching
Where do you place the inexperienced teachers y
/" In the only class that they capable of teach
ing-in the lowest primary grade"
"Should n girl of sixteen or eighteen, who has
had no preparation for her work be placed in
charge of such small children p
"She will do better there than In any other class"
" Some principals and some members of the board
think is better have the most capable teachers
in the school placed over the smallest children"
" | differ from that view"
"What is your opinion of the salary paid the
Brooklyn teachersT
. think too little difference exists between the
inexperienced and the experienced teachers. Take
a Young qlr who knows nothing about teaching and
she gets 1900 the first year while the most capable
teachers only receive 5000
Would Won reduce the lower salary ~

efficiency of the teaching and the discipline of the
teachers and scholars. Mr.. Patterson. the present
superintendent was the principal Of this school for
nine years. IL has branch primary school IN

When asked if the absence of the principal in visit
ing this school was not detrimental 10 his work in
the grammar school, Mr.. Martin said that the prin-
cipal could he absent for six months without the
school sustaining any loss it being well keyed
up" that it would run itself
"Could you not, then, discharge the principal
suggested the reporter.
"Whilc the school would run itself for six months,
il would run down if the principal were removed"
was the answer
Referring To the Central School, Mr. Martin said
that he should favor the introduction of bill in
the next Legislature submitting the question TO the
tax-paycrs of Brooklyn whether not they desired
a high school, and, if they did, appropratng n rca-
