CROUDING TEACHERS IN 4 SMALL ROOM.

THE SMALL LECTURE ROOM IN THE MUSEUM OF
NATURAL HISTORY.
The number of school teachers who attended the
lecture OF Professor Bickmore at the Museum of
Natural History yesterday the largest that has
yet been recorded In the small hall in the top of the
building in which the lectures given and which is
only intended to accommodate $50 persons 437 we're
crowded than fifty we're turned away and about
twenty we're in a small room back of the screen
When the lectures begin the doors are closed and the
window curtains are drawn down to darken the loom
for the views that given the screen. The 400
persons are then packed in tightly herrings in
a box: great many men and women remain standing
and those who come late are unable to obtain admis-
son. Among those who were a few moments late yes
terday Morris X Jesup president OF the Board OF
Trustees of the Museum. He was able to secure a
stand in during the lecture but his presence
there prevented the closing of the door, so that he
stood holding 1t shut as lar as it would GO.
The lectures given Tor school teachers and re-
ports OF them are taken by stenographer and seht

through the public schools to the teachers in the city,
and a limited number to teachers in BROOKLYN A
delegation of about twenty teachers attends the lee

several came from YOnkers and Sing Sing, but of the
$500 teachers in New-fork alone only small por-

terday that at the fall etng of the trustees this
18th special attention would be called TO he need
some temporary accommodation until new ana
adequate hall could be provided. The close air OF
the room when densely crowded is unhealthy and
difficult to talk in. Abram s. Hewitt, the Mayor-eect,
is one OF the trustees OF the museum and he has ur
gently pressed the need of better accommodation for
the teachers of the city. Last winter an effort was
made 10 secure action by the Legislature for bill
