LETTER FROM GEN. SHERMAN
Declining to Give Aid to Superanuated
school Teacher.

ST.. LOUIS, March s.
. A popular fund to provide for Mrs. Gather
me Scalos, of this city, who is over 70 wears
of age and has devoted As years of her life to
the building up of the public school system
of this city, has lately been started. The
following letter from General Sherman, de-
clining to contribute to the fund, is printed
in to days Chronicle:
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 81.
To Mr'. ]. Anderson, st Louis:
Dear Madam: Your feeling appeal in be-
halt of Mrs. Catharine Scales of the Jefferson
public school is before me, and though you
are a stranger to me will ventsre to offer a
few facts which hope will convince you
that General Sherman might not be expected
to contribute to this charity, though most
worthy. have owned property in st. Louis
since 1859 on which have paid thousands of
dollars in taxes, though l have never re-
ceived cent in return. My family is Cath
olic and Mrs. Sherman would no more con-
sent to have her children enter the public
schools than public tavern. Therefore, in
addition to my school tax have been COM
PEELED to pay large prices for education in
private schools. Again, for the past twenty
years have been taxed heavily by old Union
soldiers who are sent to me by neighbors or
naturally come to me in their distress. l be-
lieve that l am taxed five dollars for every
one paid by most wealthy citizens of St
Louis, and this is one of the causes which
drives me from st. Louis. l sympathize, of
course, with Mira. Scales and believe the
school board can and should provide for her
l.. her old age. They can and must employ
her in some nominal capacity. They have
no right after 40 years faithful service to
turn her out on the cold charity Of the world.
in fhof a
fashion. l expect to continue to pay over
5000 year to the school tax of St. Louis
and cheerfully offer to dedicate the whole or
part of it to a fund to maintain worthy
teachers who have given the best years OF
their life to teaching. Over and above my
school tax l cannot offord more, and beg you
to excuse me.
With respect, your friend,
w. I. SHERMAN.
