A PLEA FOR THE TEACHERS.
CONSIDERATION FOR THE INSTRUCTORS
IN THE CHILDREN'S AID
SOCIETY WORK.
To the Editor Of The Tribune

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The fat has gone forth From this time on
every teacher I'm the Childrens AID Society must
visit each member OF her class twice a term at
least under pain OF hearing that her services are
longer required" Without doubt the authori-
ties will not easily reconsider their decision yet
an outsider may break lance against their shield
OF impenetrabe virtue. though II may accomplish
nothing more than the registry OF a protest
Consider the conditions. There are few classes
II any. under forty In number. while in the KINDER
gartens and sixth grade OF the primary there are
often a hundred children. The number OF calls
then for term Of twenty weeks is from eighty TO
hundred for each teacher. or from four to ten
a week No addition Is made TO their salaries In
demanding Of them this heavy addition to their
labor and such visiting is required In the
public schools where the salaries average much
higher But It is not simply the addition to their
actual work which is OF Importance large

under twenty-five years Of age. These young wom-
en- are asked visit In the tenement-houses OF
Mott Sullivan. Hester and Leonard SITS, ana many
localities of equally savory reputation. They are
expected after a hard days work to climb those
long flights Of unsafe stairs. where the darkness
conceals the filth which is evident 10 every sense
except sight.
Understand me: the people who live In these
places are in sorest need OF sympathy and tender
ness and would not have word OF mine noid
