To IMPROVE THE BROOKLYN SCHOOLS.

In the interest of the public schools OF Brook
lyn II Is 10 he hoped that the committee just ap-
pointed by Mayor Schieren to suggest improve
mcnts In their conduct and administration will
be- more successful I'm achieving results than the
body which undertook a similar work in this city
last year. The New-York commission examined
he subject exhaustIvcly and reported to the
Legislature an elaborate plan for the rcorganiza-
ton of the schools Of the city. Undenlably it
contained much of value. much calculated 10
improve the school system. Bur the report was
SO sweeping and comprehensive that the opposi-
ton aroused by 1t was sufficient to prevent
action On the subject by the Legislature The
members Of the commission no doubt acted con-
sc'rntlousiy; had they been content to reform
a few Of the worst existing defects or evils they
would probably have succeeded in effecting
changes If importance The Brooklyn commit
tee will do we'll 10 bear In mind the recent ex-
pcrlcnc. on this side of the East River.
Mayor Schlcrens selections Of members Of his
committee are 10 Dc unqualihcdly commended.

three leading educational institutions Of fhe city;
with them are associated the present president
Of the Board OF Education and three former
members IL the Board These four are Of
course VItalIy Interested III me pubic SCHOOLS,
and the reputation and standing OF the others
are guarantee that they will do their work
with thoroughness and in sympathetic spirit
The committee we feel assured. will meet with
no opposition from the Board Of Education as
now constituted. but with cooperation rather In
nm eplcavor 10 make the schools OF Brooklyn
better than they are. No one contends that they
are perfect Their defects ar frankly reCOg
nized The effort now will be 10 remedy these
In many respects The system Of school admin
lsiraion In Brooklyn Is nntiQua'cd and clumsy;
unqlI'stonably II Is capable Of Improvement
but still the fact remains that with the right
men in charge Of the educational department
and The right kind Of teachers In the schools the
results may be- excellent. On the other hand
with the best system human wit can devise.
there could not be good schools with poor
Board ~ Education and an incompetent corps OF
teachers. These fundamental propositions are
too likely 10 be- overlooked. Mayor Scheren's
special committee. We presume. will not over
look them The two things chiefly - be aimed

men on The Board ~ Education, and. second.
