Dutton of Brookline, Mass., has ac- cepted an offer to become connected with the Teachers’ College of Columbia University. The New York Evening . Post 0k Janwary 27-says= “it was an- nounced this week at Teachers’ College that Professor Samuel T. Dutton, Superintendent of Schools at Brookline, Mass., had been appointed Professor of School Administration and Superintend- ent of the Teachers’ College schools. This appointment was.made at a special meeting of the executive committee of the board of trustees which was held on the afternoon of January 11, and is an important step in the development of Teachers’ College. It is Professor Dutton’s intention to give two courses in education, both of which are-intended for graduate students. The first of these will deal with the subject of school administration, and will pay special at- tention to the equipment of school buildings, including their’ construction, lighting, heating, ventilation, sanitation, and furnishing. The other course will be a seminar, for the discussion of the administration of public education in the United States, and has been particularly designed for advanced students who are competent to undertake advanced re- search and Investigation. As Super- YATE ALUMNI oy bee intendent of the Teachers’ divisions of the Horace Mann School and the elementary and kindergarten grades of the experimental school at One Hundred and ‘lwenty-ninth Street and Broadway, Professor Dutton will have charge of the educational and busi- ness administration, holding a position similar to that of the city superintend- ent in a public school system. This step, however, will make no difference in the positions now held by Virgil Prettyman, Miss Wolhfarth, and Miss Runyan, who are at the head respec- tively of the high, elementary, and kin- dergarten schools. Professor Dutton is a graduate of Yale of the Class of 1873, and has taught in the High School of South Norwalk, Conn., and the Eaton Grammar School at New Haven, being the Principal of that school until 1882, when he became Superintendent of Schools for the City of New Haven.
