two years.

was In a deplorable condition. On the
first Sunday of his rectorshlp. he was
in the pulpit making his first address,
when suddenly a storm sprang up. The
snow and sleet beat against the sides of
the building, and soon many streams
were trickling down through holes In the
this time tho bonded debt Of the church
was $l9,4 $50. He put In improvements to
the amount Of $1,000. The large window,
which now adorns the church. was put
in as a love offering from the parish and
the Sunday School and as a tribute to
their former rector, MIR. Harris. The
window in the east end OF the church,
symbolizing st. Paul. patron saint of the
church, was presented by Mrs. Edwin A.
Stevens. The church building was great
ly strengthened, the walls We're frescoed
and the vestry room and choir were built.
But the objective point of Mr.. Johnson's
attack was the bonded debt. He deter
mined to reduce that and he did. At his
solicitations, many holders of bonds
surrendered them. In 1877, Mr.. Johnson
felt constrained to accept a call he had
received from a church in Philadelphia.
His resignation took effect on June J.,
1877.
A call was extended to the Rev. Chas.
L. Newbold, then rector Of the Church
of theEpiphany of Providence, II. |. He
accented. and on Easter Sunday of that
year began his labors. He also looked
forward to the paying off of the remain
ing bonded debt, which vas then $7,450.
He labored long and earnestly and during
the next winter was successful py fals-

December 81, 1852, Mr.. Newbold resigned
to accept a call from the Diocese OF Long
island.
About June /, 1883. the present rector,
the Rev. w. r. Jenyey, was called. re
assumed charge on June 8, 1883, For the
first few years of DR.. Jenvey'S rector
ship he was mainly engaged in bringing
the church and congregation back 10 IT'S
former standard.
In this he was successful. During the
year 1898, it was found necessary TO make
the church larger. An addition OF thirty
five feet was built in the rear OF the
church, and a new chancel was Dulit.
These improvements added a sum of

Jenyey made a strong appeal for a more
generous Offering than usual. His re-
quest was granted, for the Easter sun
day collection netted 10000. With this
he managed to clear the church OF all
debt. In 1895, a new organ. valued at
81, 600, was purchased and placed IN the
choir. At the present time the churcn
is in a f%lourishing condition.

the police systems in London and Paris.
He now reports as follows
.In England / paid considerable atten-
ton to the disposal of juvenile offenders
and those who committed misdemeanors
but not crimes. They are handled by the
police and the Magistrates. The authori-
ties there are far more advanced in
methods for the prevention of crime than
we are. 1 find. In some respects we are
equal to them-notably in the system
which prevails in Massachusetts of put
ting minor offenders with families on pro-
patton for a certain period. l hope soon
to see it adopted in Illinois. The correc-

COST OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Difference in Expense rs Largely a
HTafIer of Salaries Paid Teachers.

Exclusive of 81, 10000 which it pays to
the State the city of New York is expend-
ing this year 100000 for purposes OF
education and about $4,500,000 of this
sum goes for salaries of teachers and
school employees. There are about 5000
school teachers in the city of New York
and the rate of pay varies from $500 a
year salary paid to the larger number of
principals of the male grammar schools
down to s5O4 a year, the amount paid to
teachers of the lowest grade in the prl-
mary schools. Roughly speaking, the ay-
erage rate of pay of a school teacher IN
New York is about $675 a year, and 1t
is estimated that the cost per capita OF
education of children in New York is
about SIS.
BY a recent inquiry into the cost OF
tuition in public schools in American
cities it has been found that only st.
Louis and Philadelphia paid more than
New York, the maximum cost per capita
being $64.o9 in Philadelphia and the mini
mum 1872. 10 in Rochester. The differences
are largely in the matter of salaries. IN
Philadelphia, principals receive from
So. GOO to $4,000 a year, professors in the
BOYS school $500, teacher in the boys
school from $500 to $500, and teachers IN
the girls school from $500 to $1,e0o. In
st. Louis the maximum for principals is
81. 800 to 50, 900, according to grade. At the
other extreme are Indianapolis and Min
neapolis, where High School teachers re-
oeive 81 200 as the MAXIMUM, and Pitts
burg, where the salaries range fr % "a s Soo

Milwaukee 100000 and the schools OF
Louisville $4,000. Among American cit
les which spend comparatively little in
proportion to their size for school pur-
poses New Orleans is perhaps he most
conspicuous, and one probable explana-
ton of the small expenditure of the pub
lie money there is to be found in the
fact that a considerable portion of the
population is colored and the item of
expense for the documentary instruction
of colored children is, it is well known,
very small.-Philadelphia Press.
