TRAINING SCHOOL CHANGES

The system.
At a recent meeting Of the Board OF
Education there were a number of changes
made which affect the schools all over
the city. The new school, No. 9, is to be
used as a training school and the train
ing school known as No. 5, in the High
School building. is to be abolished. In
stead OF taking all the training teach
ers of No. 5 to No. 9 only a few of them
were transferred and the best teachers
of the schools all over the city were
slated to fill the vacancies. The pupils
of Grammar School No. 8 will attend
School No. 9 and the pupils of Nos. II
and IS, which have been primary schools,
will attend the Primary Department of
School No. 8. Schools Nos. II n 10
will be closed. No. 3 annex will he closed
and the pupils there (primary) Will at
tend No. 8, which will be wholly a pri-
mary school. Major B~rensinger will be
principal of the new model school and
some of the best teachers of Nc. 8 go
with him.. The other teachers of No. 8
and the teachers of Nos II and 10 will
fill the vacancies caused in the schools
throughout the city by the transfer of
the best teachers to the model
school No. 9. Miss Outwater, for
many years vice principal of No.
8 will be vice principal of No. IA.
Miss Scanlon to No. 2, Miss Denver to
No. "a: Miss Hender to No. II, Miss Brown
to No. Il, and Miss Mabie to No. u. Miss
pal Of Primary No. q; Miss Il. outwater,
Principal of No. 8 Primary, becomes
Principal of No. 8; Mrs; Bubier, Principal
Of M;5 No. i, Principal V3al first hc9r, No. 3;
Vice Principal first floor, No.3; Miss Potts,
Vice Principal No. IS, Vice Principal of

Misses Guinan, Hamil and Meehan from
No. II, go to No. 5; Miss Jennings, from
No. II to No. g.: Miss C%oughlin, from No.
Assistant Miss German, from No. 8 An
mex to No, 3; Miss Mount, from No. 8
AEAex to No. IA
throughout the schools in the city, and
this time not the pupils but the teachers
make the mournful sounds. After long
years of service some have been transfer
red from c%ongenial posts to unknown ter
rcrs, old associations have been broken
up, and now the school children stand
the disturbance to do unchecked forbid
den things. while the teachers weep and
moan and alternately praise and anathem-
fze the Board of Education. In the present
training school, No. 5, the cause of ana
themas is not mere love of association.
Pecuniary losses enter into consideration.
It seems that training school teachers are
city than ordinary teachers, and they re-
ceive that additional salary. Now, Mrs.
Durrie, the principal Of No. 5 training
not been transferred to No. 9 and as No.
5 becomes not a training school but an or
binary primary school, Mrs. Dur
RE sSd,t;a and her assistants lose their
This fact and the fact that some of the
No. 5 teachers were transferred to No. 8
made the walls louder there than in any
other school, and the anathemas far more
numerous han the praises. There was an
Indignation meeting which stopped short
Of hair pulling. and when it was decided
that remains of the disturbance is swol-
len eyeiids and glances that would kill
one if they could, as the more fortunate
teachers are passed.
School involve so much and of such great
Importance to the general public that a
reporter Of The Jersey City News saw
Superintendent Snyder regarding them,
and the result of that interview is as fol-
lows
THE action taken by the Board was"
ne. said, 'of course, very important, prob
ably more important than any action that
has been taken for some years, as it in
