EVENING SCHOOL TEACHERS ASK FOR

THEY ASSERT THAT THEY ARE WORKING AMID
MULTITUDE OF VARYING AND oP-
POSING CONDITIONS.

MULTITUDE OF VARYING AND oP-
POSING CONDITIONS
The women teachers in the Boroughs OF Manhat-
tan and The Bronx who have done such excellent
work In the night schools following with much
interest the memorial that has recently peeh pre-
scented TO the Board of Education.
This document bears the signatures Of John C.
Roberts chairman; Samuel c. Steinhardt. secre-
tary: Edward D. Stryker. W. H. Van Att Jr''
Walter A. Duke and John Pyne.
After setting forth in detail the nature and re-
suits of their work the teachers ask that addi-
tional compensa ton be given them. They call at
tention to the great diversity Of classroom work
and to the serious problems that confront the
teacher who must retain the interest and attention
OF pupils give play to the faculties OF the more
cana BILE assist the slower ntelecs. encourage the
recent absentees TO renewed efforts and at the
same time enforce rigid discipline without de-
pleting unduly the Class attendance.
They show that the evening school teachers are
working amid multitude Of varying and opposing
conditions to which they must adapt themselves.
and which must be experienced before the means
Of adapting themselves thereto can be determined.
Tact patience and resourcefulness are requisite. as
we'll as ability to impart knowledge and to sustain
interest-Qualities most of which are developed and
brought to their highest efficiency only by ex-
perience.
Recognition of experience they urge, is invariably
given in business. and also obtains in the day
schools and unless the evening schools are placed
on the business basis of higher remuneration for
experienced work additional incentive for con-
tinuous service is lacking.
ut must not be forgotten" they say that the
period Of service is not merely ninety consecutive
nights. but covers four and one-half months-the
best portion of the year from an educational and
social point of view. The work; moreover. cannot
Justly be compared, hour for hour with similar
work done during the day the respective values
of day and night work to the teacher are widely
different Furthermore, the hours Of service by
no means limited to the time between and $3.50
O'clock but embrace many additional hours spent
in preparation for class work"
In view Of all the facts submitted they close the
memorial with suggesting the following schedule
for the consideration of the Board: A minimum
salary for evening school teachers OF g per night
with the provision that after at least three years
successful experience In the evepng schools. in
lieu thereof. two years successful experience in the
day schools combined with years successful
be eligible to receive 81 a night.

DREAMING OF HOME.

II comes to often In silence.
When the freight sputters low
When the black. uncertain shadows
Seem wraiths Of the long ago;
Always with a throb Of heartache
That thrills each pulsive vein.
Comes the old, unqulet longing
For the peace Of home again.
I'm sick of the roar of cities.
.And OF faces cold and strange:
know where there's warmth or welcome,
And my yearning fances range
Back TO the dear old homestead
With an aching sense OF pain.
But there'll be joy In the coming
When ] go home again.
When I go home again! There's music
That never may die away,
And Il seems the hands Of angels
On a mystic heart at play
Have touched with yearning sadness
On a beautiful. broken strain,
To which IL my fond heart wording
When | go home again.
Outside OF my darkening window
Is the great worlds crash and din,
And slowly the autumn shadows
Come drifting. drifting in
Sobbng the night wind murmurs
To the splash OF the autumn rain:
But dream Of the glorious greeting
When l go home again.
