start. Commissioner Kelly opened the discussion
by moving amendment to Schedule A OF the
report, providing that first assistant teachers shall
have had at least eight years successful experience
in teaching their special subjects In New-York City
schools.
Commissioner Taft opposed the amendment to
the schedule. saying that he was in favor Of the
New-York teachers. but the high standard of
periencc necessary for the teachers in the first
three high schools rendered 1t necessary to go out
OF town for them. Il have no desire IN this mat

erly and above ALL TO look out for the NewYork
children. That is the first concern. After them

PRESERIE TIE TOMBS.

The proposition to preserve III" Egyptian front
Of the Tombs was presented to the Park Board
in an unfortunate form, for the structure would
be utterly misplaced as gateway to Central
Park Nevertheless the idea OF saving from
destruction this monument Of the city's history
and arr is in itself a good one. II is evident
that The committee to whom the subject was
referred will never give serious consideration to
any plan involving the grotesque DETACHMENT
of the Plaza bur it would be entirely appropriate
for them to give independent thought to devils
ing some other scheme by which this impressive
and historic wall can become Il permanent
treasure.
The Tombs front is perhaps the best modern
example Of Egyptian aIchte ire. Built nearly
sixty vears ago il was remarkable achieve
mcnt Now. in its diSmantlcd state. when all If
the structure but tie walls has been demolished.
that front dominates Ccntrc-st with dignity
which hespcaks its innate excellence. 1t is a
relic and landmark of old New-York. The
growth Of the city makes its removal impera-
five. and the work Of destruction has already
begun but 1t is not yet too late TO save the es-
sental part of the building and set 1t up again
where il will be ut once useful and Deanifui.
London had to tear down Temple Bar. but it
was raised AGAIN Ill IpIlES roifS'' Nh'h ""
years ago one of the great railways found II nee
essary to replace Il particularly fine specimen
of n half-timbcred house by station. 1t pre-
served the front. and IT now adorns the South
Kensington Museum There IS no reason why
we should not handl, with equal reverence our
monuments which have to make way for the
march OF Improvement.
For any one Of many uses the walls OF the
Tolnls could be made available. The structure
Is Of cut stone of such II nature that II could
be moved block by block without difficulty. ana
il should cost no more 10 take these stones one
by one TO "A place where n building Is desired
than to purchase stone cut and numbered III
n quarry and transport IT to the same place
All that IS needed is little interest on the part
Of those dealing with public buildings. IT the
Tombs shall be utterly destroyed il Will be for
10 reason but Indifference. There are places
enough for its reception.
