°73——School Superintendent Samuel T.
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. In
1890 he was made Superintendent of the
Brookline Schools, a position which he
now holds.”
