He has taken a teachers' class in free band drawing at the Commer the teachers. The movement that has begun Is remarkable. Beside the professional work of the Borough Training School for Teachers, two of (he endowed schools of Brooklyn are giving courses of instruction In the principles of education. A Catholic educational society is giving lessons in pedagogy, under the instruction of one of the prominent public school principals. The Brooklyn Institute has organized and Is maintaining a school of pedagogy, with sixteen distinct courses, half of which are devoted entirely to the previously much ridiculed subjects whose names the old time, practical school man will not pronounce without a sneer.

A member of the Brooklyn Teachers' Association haa furnished for this column the following report of work done: COURSES CONDUCTED BY THE BROOKLYN TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION. 1S08 1S93. 1893 1900. 1900 1901. No.

Science Club given by the faculty to the members of the freshman class and their parents, on Thursday evening, November 14. The interesting tone drawings illustrating the story "One Man In a Million)," in Harper's Magazine lor November, are by Charles S. Chapman, a High School student of the class of '99.

He has since studied at the Chase School of Art. Mr. Chapman's rapid advance to. the rank of illustrator for one of our best magazines is a gratification to all of his old friends. Rodney D.

Chipp, a member of the class of '99, was present at the game last Saturday. Mr. Chlpp is now secretary to the president of tho Canadian Pacific Railroad, the office of which has lately been transferred from Montreal to New York. The seventh Illustrated lecture on the history of art, to be given in the Assembly Hall, on Wednesday afternoon, November 13, will have for its subject "Ancient Greece and Her Beautiful Works of Art." It will be a continuation of the talk begun by Mr. Perry last Wednesday.

Room 44 contains this week a collection of pen drawings, principally for newspaper illustration, although there are twenty throe very interesting book plate designs among the number. They are by Joseph Cummings Chase, a former student of the regular art class. A series of illustrations for the Schley trial presents remarkably dignified and refined characterization, while the political cartoons, often delightfully 'telling, are free from any trace of buffoonery. The stained glass designs, lately made by the students of the second year design clas3, are now to be seen In the fourth floor en be remembered in Brooklyn amateur dramatic circles, has now become an actor in earnest.

Coming so recently from that Interesting region, Dr. White was naturally very eloquent in his discourse, which was thoroughly enjoyed by the largo number present. This afternoon the members will be addressed by the Rev.

F. McDowell, 13. formerly chancellor of Denver University. Dr. McDowell has quently deliverel most charming speeches before the.

Megasby of the clas of 1901, will act as coach to all tho athletic teams of the college. Mr. Megasby is now an assistant tutor at the college. The athletic association held a meeting Friday, November 1, and elected officers: August Hess, '02, was elected president; Lloyd B. Thomas, '02, vice president; Nicholas Holde, secretary, and Thomas McGrath, treasurer.

The evening of Friday, November 8, at the Clionian Literary Society, was devoted to the trying out of candidates for the joint debate with Phrenocosmia. It is likely that David Oltarsh, '02, and Frederick Frankfurter, '02, will represent the society on tbiB debate.

Brooklyn's Share in a General Movement to Improve Teaching. If the main necessity of teaching is the love of children then the teacher is born and not made. We hear this so much that we are tired of it. One trouble is enough. Teachers are not born to fill all the places.

You can't have an ideal teacher, a product of natural growth, in every position. There are not enough ideals to go around. And so we employ teachers to teach the teachers how to teach, and it becomes easy to overdo it and to exclude originality and variety, trying to mold all the teachers after one pattern. It becomes easy, too. to run after intellectual accomplishments and to forget that they may receive so much attention as to crowd out the basal instinct of teaching, which is lovo.

Yet any one can see that love of children is not enough to make a teacher. One must know the subject to be taught and one must know the mind that is to receive it and how to impart the things to be taught. This seems simple enough. Love, knowledge and skill seem a fair analysis of the essential ingredients of a teacher. Opinion regarding them has changed even in our day.

When I was a schoolboy the second requirement was about the only one considered. A teacher must be a scholar; a scholarly person was supposed to be able to teach. I had three separate fine scholars for teachers at one time and another. Two of them were utter failures and the other a passable success. Their forte was taking in, not giving out.

They took in our school board for a year each and had to give way to other teachers. To day you cannot get a position to teach in any large city unless you show something more than scholarship. In fact, your scholarship is regarded so much as a matter of course that many examiners will accept your credentials for it, but they insist themselves on testing your knowledge "the principles of teaching." Every cultivated person needs a liberal education, but a professional worker, lawyer, engineer, teacher, must nowadays add to it a special knowledge. He must have scholarship, but he must have scholarship plus. "Hie folly of assuming that scholarship and teaching are one," say the reformers, "would be paralleled by declaring that a good taker must be a good giver; thai Russell Sage must be an eminent philanthropist; that a pawnbroker with a window full of guns must be a good shot.

The advocates of special preparation for teachers insist that the special knowledge necessary must be science, not mere common sense, not instinct, not tact, but all of this and more; classified principles, reasons and causes. On the other hand, there has always been a conservative party opposing and ridiculing attempts to guide teaching by a science of education. If the opposer is a layman he falls back on the way teaching was clone when he went to school or on what he lias seen done in the case of his own children and ridicules professional educators. The Rev. Samuel Croth'ers expresses the skepticism of the general public pretty fairly when he says: "I confess that as a layman I have my doubts of this science.

You can be pretty scientific with inanimate things, but human nature is a very tricky sort of thing and you cannot always get it into that classification to which it belongs. When you are dealing with humanity it is easier to get the appearance of scientific precision than the reality. I am awed by the formidable preparations which educational writers make for child study. They get a great many statistics in order to prove very small theories. For instance.

I learn that 950 girls out of 1,000 like their teachers, while 13 boys confess to the same weakuess. Those are alleged facts, but as to the value of them, even if facts, I am not certain. When I go farther and learn that 945 girls like their teacher because she wears a pretty dress. I am convinced that I am on the verge of a great discovery. After you have collected your facts and made your generalizations.

when you come to the individual Johnny vou find he Is an exception." One of our prominent Brooklyn public men has given the subject of the so called science of education attention and has addressed teachers in this and other states upon the subject; he classifies it with certain cults that made use of cant and high sounding phrases to conceal ignorance and finds the word "fakir" adapted to describe the apostle of education founded on scientific prlncipleo. But the opposition to consideration of education as a science does not seem to me to come so much from laymen as from those engaged in the work of teaching. The very words adopted to characterize processes of mind or departments or teaching, such as apperception, psychology, pedagogy, methodology, though no more formidable or pedantic than such terms as tonsillitis automobile or habeas corpus are distasteful to a large numbe of teachers and indicative of something unreal and dlsconcert'ne The youngsters, fresh from training school are more or less confident that they have learned some principles of right action in the work of education but among the older workers there is a considerable pull away from any effort lo make psychology pedagogy or any of the new tangled oiogle a requisite for anything. Samuel Thurber principal of the Girls' High School Boston' represents this opposition fairly well He says, "It is very absurd to talk about the art of teaching as something one may master and teach others. Surely we can abstain from talking about a science of education A prominent educator of Brooklyn never fails to bring out a hearty round of applause from an audience of teachers when he says "I never read a book on pedagogy in my life' thank God'" An investigator who canvassed the teachers of one of the Brooklyn high schools reports that of all the teachers there every one but two reporied that their work In teaching had not been helped by the study of psychology and two didn't know whether It had or had not helped them.

It is not difficult, I think, to account for teachers' lack of enthusiasm for a science of education. As Rcsrnkranz cays, ihcm is more shallow imitation philosophy In the literature of education than in that of any of the other professions. A u.a,.i.i reaaa a book with a high sounding name to find the most of it tommyrot. She reads another in which oc casional occurrences are generalized as universal laws. The next day shows her a fiat contradiction of one and she loses faith in the whole treatise.

Another reason why a teacher does not hunger for essays on the art of teaching is because she knows she will nave no cnonce or putting into play very much of what she loams. She can not, even within safe limits, experiment, anil originate win c.ij otiTiuiai, even a pnystct in.

Since then a much larger propo tion have completed the courses. About the same number are taking the work this year as last.

Of course, the work done in these classes represents but a fraction of the work done by our teachers. The courses offered by the Institute and the Adelphi here and by New York University and Columbia In Manhattan are attended by hundreds of Brooklyn teachers. Also very many prefer to do this work during the summer at some one of the many summer schools. The teachers themselves, through their own incorporated association, are hiring professors and, by the hundreds, taking instruction in "psychology" and in "applied psychology." It is in the air. In spite of the hundred good reasons that teachers can give for keeping out of the movement, It is closing around them.

The vacancies are being filled by those acquainted with and instructed in the modern pedagogy. The promotions to higher places are depending on a similar knowledge, even the fitness and merest necessary, to receive an increase of pay is rated already in terms of the scientific educator. The colleges have established chairs of education; the book companies are Issuing fuller and better treatises; the educational magazines are reaching a more scientific level. In spite of himself the teacher who maintains there Is no more to teaching than personality, or instinct, or temperament, is being cut under and surrounded. It is getting harder and harder for such a one to secure a position.

And whv not turn In and help in the pursuit of the true way or the true ways to teach effectively and economically? Can it be that each teacher, working by herself in a corner, with eyes shut to what other and perhans more able teachers are doing, can render the best service? Can it be that this oldest of the arts can have no principles capable of scientific and helpful treatment? May it not be that because it has been so much condemned it has becninuchneglected? I heard a Brooklyn editor commenting on the reaction ism of teachers, remark "It appears to me that working teachers could find a nobler task and a higher inspiration and an advantage to themselves, their profession and their pupils by joining the advance movement and helping it along on practical and practicable lines rather than by holding back until others have done the work." In conclusion, much lectured, much advised and much supervised teacher, though you have been fooled in reading the wrong kind of books, though you feel your field in which to try new things is narrow, though the reasons for neglect of such studies seem sufficient, you will never regret the time spent in reading the accepted classics of your calling: Calm and particular old Locke, delicious old Fenelon, steady Baler, forceful Spencer, persuasive Payne, clear Compayre, and readable and delightful Professor James. You, teacher, are working with the destiny of quite a piece of this nation. You are subject to the same temptations of weariness and laziness as the rest of us. You can fall into a rut as quickly as any worker in this world. Don't let the holdbacks do your thinking for you.

Make yourself acquainted with at least the best that has been written on your art. MILO. CATHOLIC WOMEN'S ASSOCIATION. Last Saturday morning the children of the Sewing School to the number of 125 assembled to begin the course for the year. The most of the morning was spent in classifying them and in working stitches on samplers.

Miss Virginia S. O'Connor has managed these little people for seven years and her earnestness in the work has been ably demonstrated by the remarkable results obtained from theso classes. Mis3 O'Connor is reinforced by eight capable assistants, who take these little people through the intricacies of the course mapped out for the adult classes. It is a pleasant sight to watch the little girls, equipped for work, carrying needle, scissors, thread, in a great variety of fane? baskets and boxes, as they enter for their morning tasks, and to note their pleasure upon being informed that the allotted task has been well done. The advanced sewing and the shirt waist classes are doing work parallel with that of the best schools of the city.

Miss Julia Carey has charge of this work and produced an abundance of beautifully made lingerie at the last exhibit, which reflected great credit upon her pupils and herself. Some new and original designs in dainty garments are being prepared for the coming exhibit of the first term work of the students. A few vacancies exist in one of the cooking classes, which should be filled this week. Also in the afternoon and evening art embroidery classes, in which students are received at any time. New and beautiful original designs in sofa pillows, centerpieces, doilies, are here displayed in various stages of construction.

Attention is especially called to the University Extension classes, as it is necessary for those who wish to undertake them to make immediate application. The courses in German will begin this week, details of which may be obtained at the general office, 10 Prospect place. The course on the principles and methods of education, by Dr. Vlymen, continues in great popularity, many teachers coming from outside cities and towns to attend the lectures. The class at the Berkeley Institute on Monday afternoons numbers nearly three hundred, while at McCaddin Hall nearly two hundred are enrolled.

This latter class meets each Wednesday afternoon. Aside from the fact that theso certificates will be accepted by Dr. Maxwell, in the granting of licenses, the mental and moral growth to be obtained while under the instruction of this capable lecturer should induce all who could possibly arrange to do so to take up this, one of the most valuable courses yet given. The chairman of the entertainment committee, having prepared the schedule of en tortainments, will issue the same as soon as received from the printer. HEITLEY SCHOOL.

Mr. Diamant of the class of who has distinguished himself as a mechanical en gineer since he graduated from the institu tion, delivered a very interesting and instructive lecture to the members of the Senior Mechanical Society, on Friday afternoon in the Hall of Natural History. Francis Asbury Sampson, graduate of the class of 1865, and one of the prominent citizens of Sedalia, Missouri, has presented to the Missouri Historical Society his library of 7,000 volumes bearing on the history of the State of Missouri. Mr. Sampson had spent thirty three years collecting this valuable historical library.

A new society has been established at Barnard under the name of the Sophomore Freshman Debating Club. The club has already held three debates, on academic, literary and political subjects, respectively, and promises to be fairly successful. A thorough drill in the writing of arguments has been made part of the English work required of Bophomores, so this part of rhetorical work, usually so neglected by girls, hasnow been emphasized, officially and unofficially.

The Junior ball will be held' this year on February 10 in the gymnasium Columbia College.

This system will raise the daily work of the students, since they will not have the time for review and will prevent such a long interruption In the regular academic work of the college. The freshmen have now been duly recognized by the upper classes. The Juniors gave an entertainment In their honor, which consisted of a variety performance, including songs, dances, a shadow pantomime and performance of "Pyramns and Thisbe" from Shakspeare "A Midsummer Night Dream."

H. Huntting, also of Brooklyn, who is writing the book while J. P. Langs is composing the score. Parsons, who is the author of the Columbia 'Varsity show of.

last year, both words and music, is confining his work to the music this year. The name of his play is "Miss Nobody," the scene being laid in Venice. Huntting's play, "Dido," is laid in Carthage and is an exceedingly clever production, though lacking considerably in plot. An advisory committee consisting of Donald McGregor, '96; Victor Mapcs, '91; Howard S. Harrington, '99; George Lange, '00, and John Ersklne, '00, will hear the plays read this week and decide on their relative merits.
