AN APPEAL FOR MORE TEACHERS.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: You recently published letter from Mr..
]. c. Pompelly. which called attention a number
OF points in our school system that must appeal
10 every thoughtful citizen. as well as to every
school teacher. The whole destiny OF our nation,
State city is IN the schools to-day the whole
nation OF the next generation is there When we
have this fact in mind. certainly attention no
expense can 20 any seem too great 10 bestow
upon them-the coming nation. Whoever puts his
life and his money into them has banked" in the
future and his reward Is coming. not vanishing:
his increasing, diminishing. How
trivial then seems the OF four mills on the
dollar OF taxable property for q city TO set aside
for the whole cause OF public education. Yet New
York City has cut that original appropriation
25 per at the expense Of increasing the size
OF large classes and loading the teacher with
clerical duties that his personality is still further
buried in the mechancism OF a system and the
individuality Of the pupil is pushed further back
into the class.
Probably will question the statement that
the two teachers and The two Glasses whose in
fuence has been greatest upon the civilization the
social, political and religious progress of huma
of their classes uot TO have exceeded twelve
In each case the rnefnDers accounted not
merely pupils. but friends and companions.
Moreover. there Is certainly place IN the
world where this personal influence IS more neces-
sary more valuable than in New-York City,
where great majority OF the pupils from
ponds wholly upon two influences TO fit him or
her for citizenship: viz The street and the school;
eOusness and reclihcGtiOn. II is only matter OF
money and that less than five mills the dollar,
put every child in New-York City under the
personal influence OF a refined, intelligent and in
spring instructor and friend, in class OF ten to
fifteen members from five years OF onward.
Is Il worth while? GEORGE DONALDSON.

AUDUBON MANSION SAFE.

10 the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir In The Tribune OF January ma article
on the Audubon Mansion" which ably describes
the house IN which ! spent twenty-three years as
principal OF the Audubon School This residence
belonged TO the estate of the late r. T. Carman.
The Audubon property lay between what is now
e-hundred-and- hfty-n fth-st.. the east. and
Northumberland hfty-eghth-st., the west and
extended from what is now Amsterdan-ave. to the
Hudson River The house. which Audubon built
in 1888. stands at the foot OF One-hundred-and-
afty-fifth-st, within stones throw OF the river
and A F. 3. Morse sent the first telegram ever
dispatched in the present city OF New-York from
that house. Under that hospitable roof were well
coined many other celebrated and women OF
various nationalties. The house has been some
what changed by the addition OF a mansard roof
but in al essentials il is the when Audu-
bon lived in it-loyed it-and died there in 1851
1t has been gratifying TO the family TO learn that
the mansion viii not be removed nor disturbed In
any way, the proposed route for the extension
of Riverside Drive has been changed in order TO
avoid such a possibility. Yours respectfully
NJ E. AUDUBON.
