Increase of Teachers, Salaries.

The following is the report of the Committee
on Public Schools of the Common Council,
made through Mr.. A. p. Clark. on Monday
evening, on the bill to increase the salaries of
the teachers of the public schools:
"The Committee on Public Schools, to whom
was referred the BILL entitled bill to maintain
and increase the efficiency of the public
schools, respectfully report, that having ex-
amined the said bill, they find that il embraces
the necessary provisions for the advance and
promotion of education, and it appears to them
to be what is needed to have the schools of this
Corporation maintain their present standard,
and keep pace with the educational improve
ments of schools of corresponding grades in
other cities. Your committee are fully i'm
pressed with the conviction that in order
to- have the schools of this city maintain
a high rank, competent teachers must be
employed, who understand all the improved
methods of instruction. In order that we may
retain the competent teachers. who are now EN-.
ployed, and secure others who have a genius
for imparting knowledge, 1t is necessary, to pay
them, as far as we are able, wages commensu-
rate with their high attainments, that others,
who more fully appreciate their qualifications,
may not induce them TO leave our schools, and
also prevent our securing others to fill their
places who possess the art of teaching in the
same high degree. In the city of Boston the
salaries of the masters of grammar schools are
$500 each, per annum, loco more than is pro-
posed In this bin for the current fiscal year, and
$50 year more than the maximum, and we
are reminded that the salaries paid IN New
York to teachers is much higher than in the
this connection to every person interest
ed in the education of our children, and
who study the constant expansion OF, and
the many improvements in our school
system that the urgent need is teachers
well informed in the advancing ideas of the
times, and that in order to obtain and retain such
instru tors, we must pay them salaries cor
responding 10 those paid in other places, and
we believe the intelligence and mental refine
ment OF our citizens will sustain us in assum-
ing the respons bity of this act of necessity and
justice. The bill under consideration does not
in tie opinion of your committee give to all
grades of teachers the compen sation they de-
sire, or that is paid TO corresponding classes of
teachers in other places, where the cost OF
living is the same as in Washington; but it fixes
the rate AS high as the low state of the city
treasury will permit. We are informed in the
late report Of the Trustees of Public Schools
that 'sthe teachers in Washington do not re-
ceive a sufficient compensation to provide for
their wants" and this bill is recommended in
order 10 meet far practical the existing
necessity.

This brings the line to the eastern base Of the
Rocky Mountains, and II il expected that the track
will be laid thirty miles further, to Evans Pass
the highest point on the road, by January. The
mailman grade from the foot of the mountains to
the summit is but eight feet to the mile, while tina
OF many eastern roads is over one hundred. Work
in the rock cuttings the western slope will con
tinue through the winter, and there 10 now no rea
to doubt that the entire grand line to the Pa.
cific will be open for business in 1870.
The means provided for the construction of this
Great National Work are ample. The United
States grants its Six Per Cent Bonds at the rate
of from $4,000 to $4,000 per mile, for which it
takes SECOND LIEN security, and receives
payment TO a large if not to the full extent of its
claim in services. These bonds are issued as each
twenty mile section 10 finished, and after il has
been examined by United States Commissioners
and pronounced to be in all respects a frst-class
road, thoroughly supplied with depots, repair.
shops, stations and all the necessary rolling stock
and other equipments.
The United States also makes O donation of
$50 acres Of land to the mile, which will be
source of large revenue to the Company. Much OF
this land in the Platte Valley is among the most
FERTILE In the world, and other large portions are
covered with heavy pine forests, and abound in coal
of the best quality.
The Company is also authorized TO issue its own
First Mortgage Bonds to amount equal to the
issue Of the Government, and no more. Hon T.
D. Morgan and Hon. Cakes Ames are Trustees
for the Bondholders, and deliver the Bonds to the
Company only as the work progresses, so that
they always rep, esent actual and productive
value.
The authorized capital of the Company is One
Hundred Million Dollars, Of which over five
millions have been paid in upon the work already
done.

RAILROAD DOORS FOR BARNS.

These doors are far superior to the old
fashioned doors, which revolve on hinges
They are opened and closed by means ofa
rail and several small iron trucks securely at
tached TO the top, and are so constructed as
not only to close the door efsctually against
the ingress of rain, snow and cold air, but TO
be very durable and in every respect efficient.
Large doors are formed by one inch matched
boards, placed perPendieularly, aud crossed
by matched strips Of the same in O diagonal
direction, or from corner to corner on both
sides. These strips are so put OH as TO repre-
sent the sheathing often seen on fine houses.
being about six inches wide and covering the
entire surface. Il will be seen a, once that
three thieknesses Of matched boards, securely
nailed and thoroughly pinned, besides being
so hung rs to obyiate efsctuslly all posi-
billty Of sagging, as is the case with doors Of
ordinary construction and the workmanship
when hung in the usual way must secure an
article of great efficiency and of an almost
indestruetible character. The labor OF
opening and cloeing these doors may be per
formed by the merest boy, and in windy
weather they are not slamrnins and endaUger
ing not only their own fastening and fixtures
bat the lives, also of all by whom they are
approached. The old fashion Of placing the
trucks at the bottom 10 anything but desira
BILE, as the former is likely to become clogged
by snow and ice ; but when it is placed at
the top,no obstruction can possibly intervene
from this source the door glides easily along
the rail, and never requires to be forced open
by main strength. Small doors for tie ups,
sheds, out houses, and other similar buildings
are constructed in similar way. They are
much cheaper than pannel doors, to which
they are preferable for all purposes where
strength and durability are required.-Ger-

LIME FOR CABBAGEs.-"Gardener," who
lives on "sand prairie" land in Illinois aud
can get no stable manure, wishes to use
lime as substitute on his cabbage fields
Lime is properly no substitute for animal
manure, yet it may be, and probably will be
an excellent application for this crop. As a
rule, ON pretty good land lime alone with
good culture will probably insure a fair crop
of cabbages. Salt is useful also, and an ex-
cellent application is lime slaked with @
strong brine.
