The Public School System

Source: An Official of the Department

Public, tax-supported, elementary, junior high, senior high and vocational high schools in the City of New York are under the jurisdiction of the Department of Education, the new headquarters of which are located at 110 Livingston Street, Brooklyn.

The Board of Education consists of 7 members, appointed by the Mayor for terms of 7 years—two members from Manhattan, two from Brooklyn, and one from each of the other boroughs. The members are paid no salary.

The Superintendent of Schools is the chief executive officer of the Board of Education and of the educational system.

The gradual decline in the amount and rate of register increase has resulted from the influence of a number of factors.

In the earlier years immigration was one source which accounted for the large growth in register. Through restriction of immigration this source

School year ending in June

of increase has been removed.

In the second place the declining birth rate in New York City has materially reduced the size of the entering classes.

The vocational group was the only one that showed an increase over the previous year.

The increase in the average daily register in the vocational group amounted to nearly 5 per cent. The elementary group suffered the greatest loss in average daily register, the decrease being more than 434 per cent. The loss in the high school group amounted to slightly more than 4 per cent. while in the junior high group the loss was approximately 3 per cent.

The Board of Higher Education headquarters, 695 Park Avenue, Manhattan, consists of the president of the Board of Education and 21 citizens who are residents appointed by the Mayor, for a term of 3 years each. This board looks after the College of the City of New York, Brooklyn College, Hunter College and Queens College.
