LAST YEAR-TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION GIVEN PERMISSION TO USE SCHOOLS-PLANS 
APPROVED FOR NEW STRUCTURES AND ADDITIONS
After sitting in executive session for nearly an hour last night, the 
Commissioners of the Board of Education, at their regular semi-monthly 
meeting at the hall of the Board of Education, unanimously elected Prof. 
Harry F. TOWLE, of the Boys' High School, to the principalship of Curtis 
High School, Richmond, to succeed the late Oliver D. CLARK, who also came 
from the Marcy avenue institution.  during the open session in the 
afternoon the Board appointed 280 teachers from the eligible lists to 
instruct in the Brooklyn and Queensschoools.
The only name presented to the Board in nomination for the principalship of 
Curtis High School yesterday by the Board of Superintendents was that of 
Prof. TOWLE, but a movement was started by the Richmond members of the 
Board, Commissioners DIX and INGALLS, to carry the matter over the heads of 
the superintendents and elect as principal Prof. William CRANE, first 
assistant teacher at Curtis High School and who has been acting principal 
of the Staten Island high school since the death of Principal CLARK. The 
candidacy of the Brooklyn teacher was upheld by City Superintendent 
Maxwell, Commissioners WINGATE, GREEN and BABBOTT, of Brooklyn and Majority 
Leader Abraham STERN of Manhattan.
Prof. CRANE'S candidacy for the principalship of Curtis High School was 
very popular throughout the Borough of Richmond and a short time ago a 
petition signed by many prominent Staten Islanders was sent to the Board 
asking for his appointment as the head of their high school.  So strong a 
case did Prof. CRANE'S friends in the Board present for him yesterday that 
when the question was called for the vote was 20 to 19 in favor of Prof. 
TOWLE, although the Brooklyn man's election was looked upon as a "sure 
thing" at the time of his nomination.  It was later made unanimous
Harry F. TOWLE is a graduate of Dartmouth College. He has held 
principalships of schools in Dorchester, Mass., and Yonkers, NY.  For five 
years he was an instructor in mathematics in the old Brooklyn Central High 
School.  For ten years he has been senior instructor in Greek and Latin at 
the Boys' High School.
An additional appropriation of corporate stock to the amount of $5,000,000 
for new sites and school buildings was asked from the Board of Estimate; 
$3,000,000 of this amount is wanted immediately.  The Board has already had 
$15,000,000 for building operations this year, and if the appropriation 
asked yesterday is granted the total for 1906 will be the largest amount 
ever received in one year for building purposes.
An explanation offered by one member for this large building appropriation was
"There is a public demand for more schools and it takes money to build 
schools."
An increase in the elementary school registration of 22, 238 over the same 
period last year was shown in the monthly school report for 
September.  There are 86,417 children on part time, which is an increase of 
nearly an even 10,000 over September, 1905.
The Brooklyn Teachers' Association was granted permission to use the school 
buildings after school hours for the purpose of courses of study lectures, 
etc.  This resolution which was offered by the committee on care of 
buildings was passed without comment although its presentation at the last 
meeting evoked a long and heated discussion.
Resolution offered by the sites committee were passed recommending the 
acquisition of sites in Brooklyn for school buildings for the relief of 
P.S. 64 which has 1,500 pupils on part time; P.S. 65, over 700 part time 
pupils and P.S. Nos. 109 and 125 in which nearly all the pupils are on part 
time.
Building plans were accepted for P.S. 89 Orchard avenue, Fifth and Sixth 
streets, Elmhurst, Queens.  There will be in the new school forty 
classrooms, two kindergarten rooms, cooking and science rooms, a workshop 
and gymnasium and an auditorium.  Plans for the addition of seven 
classrooms, a cooking room and a gymnasium to P. S. No. 22 were also approved.

Examination for Training Schools
Boys and Girls ambitious to become teachers may try their luck Jan 14. 
The hundreds of youth eager to embrace the scholastic career as teachers 
will be given an opportunity to enter the training schools of the city 
of New York through examinations to be conducted by the Department of 
Education Beginning Monday, Jan 14. The examinations will last four days.
Applicants who have completed in the city high schools a four-year 
course, embracing the subjects require by the State Department of 
Education, will be examined in their respective high schools.
Applicants who have completed similar courses in other institutions, 
approved by the State Commissioner of Education, will be examined in the 
New York Training Schools for Teachers, 119th street, near Second 
avenue, Manhattan, and in the Brooklyn Training School for Teachers, 
Prospect place, near Nostrand avenue. All such applicants should appear 
in either of said schools at 3 P.M. on Friday, Jan 11, to make formal 
application and to file certificates for principals.
Each applicant for admission to a training school must be at least 
seventeen years of age at the time of entrance, and must subscribe in 
good faith to the following declaration:
I, the subscribed, hereby declare that my object in asking admission to 
(here insert the name of the training school, as, New York Training 
School for Teachers or Brooklyn Training School for Teachers or Jamaica 
Training School for Teachers) is to prepare myself for teaching, and 
that is is my purpose to engage in teaching in the public schools of the 
State of New York at the completion of such preparation.
Before admission to a training school each applicant must hold, as a 
minimum qualification (a) a diploma of graduation from a high school or, 
an academy having a four years; course of study approved by the State 
Commissioner of Education and have pursued therein the studies required 
by the State Commission of Education for admission to training school; 
or (b) a diploma from an institution of equal or higher rank approved by 
the same authority, as provided under Chapter 1031, Laws of 1895.
Women candidates examined for admission to training schools must obtain 
60 per cent, as a passing mark in each of a number of subjects 
aggregating 1,200 credits. Men candidates examined for admission to 
training schools must obtain 70 per cent, as a passing mark in each of a 
number of subjects aggregating 1,200 credits, except in those subjects 
in which the candidates have already passed. Three hundred of these must 
be in English, 300 in mathematic and 100 in physics; but no restriction 
will be place upon the number of subjects in which a candidate may be 
examined in order to obtain a passing mark in the remaining 500 credits. 
Each applicant must also satisfy the City Superintendent that he or she 
speaks the English language with distinctness and correctness.
