1HE SCHOOL TEACHERS IN SESSION, The
school teachers Of this city held am adjourned
meeting ON Saturday afternoon, at which Ed
ward W. ShipDen, ESQ, presided.
The chairman of the committees nppOinted to
visit the m members of Councils in their respec-
tive districts, made reports, all of which spoke
OF the prospects being flattenng. The Council
men nave been visited, ana plain statement
of facts laid before them, number of them
gave in their adherence to the movement, and
VIII urge Ihe increase IN open Council. \ sug-
ResJlon was also made OF the propriety OF get
ting out petitions and asking the influential
gentlemen OF the city to sign them, as that
would be a proper mode of getting the affair
Ialrly before the people.
Mr. Shippen said II was important at this
juncture to obtain the influence OF well-knOwn
gentlemen to visit members Of Council. A
number had expressed their willingness to do
so. Since their last meeting he mad succeeded
in obtaining the consent of tho Committee of
FINANCE that the ladies might visit them on
Monday night at eight o'clock. He advised
during the meantime the teachers TO get their
friends to visit the members OF Council from
their section, and impress them with the i'm
portance of such a measure. He was also in
favor of getting out petitions and all to exert
themselves to procure signatures
Mr. Belden suggested the prOpriety OF paying
the Councilmen another visit, but the idea pre-
vaent was that their friends could do more
good than visit from teachers who had no in
MIR. Wellington thought the meeting Of the
teachers had been productive of much good.
Nothing would forward the cause so much as
Getty Fathers" individually.
MI. Fetlers related conversation he had
n
ago, who seemed to think the Councilmen were
not pursuing a wise course in opposing the in
crease of salary. The director said that the low
est salary paid in that institution was $3.50 per
annum and boarding, and the highest salary
$500. There had also been during the year an
increase of twenty per cent. He spoke of Sc
veral eases coming under his notice OF mum
Der OF the young lady graduates who were In
duced to leave this city and go to distant ones,
for the simple reason that they could command
higher salaries; and he thought shat the argu-
ment Of the College director should be con-
elusive argument. He received much larger
salary than great number of the female teach
ers, and could scarcely live on it, and he did
not see how they could live on the amount
MIR. Louderbach made n few brief remarks,
saying he thought the cause looked prosperous.
After a number of remarks from different gem
Jlenen, the meeting adjourned, to meet AT the
call of the chairman.
