THE WAGES OF TRAcHEEs.-The following
communication has been handed to as BY a
party who takes much interest in school N at
ters:
If the report Of the debats on the ..wages
bill' in the Common Council, on Monday light
last Is approximately correct, am III favor of
extending our city school system without re-
gard to expense. Among other evidences of
enlarged liberality, note the following:
Snow, sir, institute no such comparison.
That we have females who are, many OF them,
as well qualified as a great many of the lad les
in the public schools in New England, I have
no doubt. / vote fair and square on all the
bills which come before me, and when my con =
stituency, which is an intelligent one is not
satisfied with me, will give up my place here
and retire.
If the first proposition is true-and it is a
question entirely immaterial and NAL -dpropos,
which no belittlipg prejudiCes should have
raised-then 1t should follow that We are as
willing as the northern people 10 pay price

something with which to cultivate the amenities
OF life and perfect the self-culture which may

OF their pay and what it will purchase, do no..
receive half the salary of the female teachers of
