THE SCHOOL TEACHERS.

THE ANNUAL RECEPTION OF THE TEACHERS
ASSOCIATION AT sTENwAY HALF. LAST EVEN
ING.
Steinway Hall was crowded last evening to it,
utmost capacity by an audience consisting in
ployed as teachers in the public schools. The
occasion which caused the gathering was
the annual reception OF the School Teachers As.
s0cia ion. On the platform were Mayor Vance.
Whltelaw Reid Tax Commissioner Wheeler, Comp
troller Green, Alderman-elect Samuel A. Lewis
and large number OF other gentlemen more or
less prominently connected with the city ana
county government.
Mayor Vance presided He made no set speech
after the meeting had been called to order, but
simply contentcd himself with introducing Mr..
Wnitclaw Reid in a graceful and complimentary
way.
Mr.. Reid, who was quite enthusiastically greeted
when he came forward TO speak, made neat little
speech, which was mainly an effort to convince
the Board OF Apportionment that the people oil
this clty-the tax-paylng people-did not want
THE TEACHERS SALARIES
reduced; in fact, were dead SGT against any at
tempt at q reduction. He said the Board could
economlze IN various ways, and i was not neces.
sary that the teachers, who worked 80 hard and
SO faithfully for the small comparative pay they
did get, should be the sufferers because economy
had TO be exercised. There were unoccupied streets
in the neghborhood OF kingsbridge that were more
brilliantly lighted than Broadway at night. and he
believed that II the gas In those streets was shut
OF i0r week, Tor 1t was not needed there, the
money now spent for 1t could be used to pay the
teachers salaries. He argued to show that soms
oil the teachers were no better paid than nod
carriers and he for one was OF the opinion tnat
persons who were deemed worthy OF teaching the
children OF the city should be well paid. He pro-
tested against any reduction in the teachers'
salaries and hoped the Board or Apporti0nment
would see TO it tnat no reduction was made.
There was
PLENTY OF ROOM FOR REFORMS
in some OF the branches OF the city government,
and he thought the public interests would be best
conserved by the Board economiztng An soma
ether way than In cutting down the pay OF teach
ers, who we're already, as rule, much underpaid.
Alter Mr. Reids address the regular exercises
or the evening we're begun, in which the following
persons took part Miss Maria Brainerd, soprano;
Miss Anha X Buckley, contrato; Mr.. Arthur T.
Hill, tenor; Mr.. Alfred +. Shaufner, bassO; Mr..
Caryl Florio, accompanied; Miss Lima Luckbardt,
pianist. Professor Lewis b. Monroe also gave
readings All the exercises were highly interest.
thoroughly appreciated by every one present.

THE CHRISTMAS OF THE POOR.
A NOBLE ANSWER TO THE APPEAL OF ST. JOINS

A NOBLE ANSWEB TO The APPEAII Of 81. JOHN

In all the world there is no more charitable
people than those who are residents of New York.
or course the appeal OF ST. Johns Guild for Aid
always carries force that allows OF hesitation.

extreme need. But the prompt cheerful and
generous reply 1t has received shows how thor
oughly our people are moved by right influences.
Yesterday, at the Guild showed something OF the
silver lining which clouds that lower over u.s. ike

Carriage after carriage rolled up to the
Guild doors, and, though most OF them
brought only words and promises OF good
cheer, some contained bundles OF cloth
ing and orders for food, to be furnished
during the coming week, that gave encourage
ment to those busily at work inside the building.
Ladies from all the fashionable quarters Of the
upper part OF the city worked steadily in the sew
ing room and spoke enthusiastically OF the under
taking In which they are engaged. The outer
room was as usual crowded to ovefnowing by
applicants for work and applicants for bread.
And oftenttmes, too, some poor mother
went away disappointed because the Guild has
not yet Its storeroom filed with hour and CO rn-
meal and oatmeal as in former winters. But
