Briggs, professor of sec ondary education in Columbia Univer sity, Bpent all of last Friday Btudylng the methods of instruction and admin istration In the Teachers College High School. Professor Briggs Is the second rep resentative of Columbia University who has made a close Btudy of the work of the Teachers College here in the training of teachers. Dean Russell made an extended visit two years ago Professor Briggs claims this Is the only training school of the kind on this continent. Columbia University has two complete school systems un der its ownership and control The first is the Horraco Mann School, which gives the full twelve grades of work, with an enrollment of twelve hundred elementary and high school pupils. It is maintained for observa tion and demonstration purposes only The second is the Speyer School, which has about five hundred pupils It is an experimentation school, whore new theories in education are tried out. In each of these two schools only tho most export teachers are employed at very high salaries Columbia gives very little actual training to teachers. Professor Briggs says that Nebraska has made a distinct step in advance of any other college or university In that the prospective teachers are given classes and made to work out a practical application of educational su pervision. He expressed surprise at the splendid technique already Bhown by the teachers in training this semes ter. The state universities of adjoining states have made a first hand study of our demonstration school through rep resentatives sent here a year ago. Iowa, Minnesota, North.
