Alumstl ÜberaUty. To the Editor of The Press : Sib : In looking over an article In tee Bulletin of Monday (lost, I was surprised to see what large gums of money have been given to various colleges daring the past year. Tale has reoolrod *480.000, Princeton *iso,ooo, Amherst *lio,ooo, the Syrian college *103,000, Trinity (Hartford) *ioo,ooo, Chicago Theological Seminary *BO,OOO, Bowdoln (Maine) *72,000, Hew York University *60,000, Wesleyan University (St. Louis) *60,090, Dartmouth *47,000, Harvard *44,000, Williams *26,000, and Mtddlebury *lO,OOO. BntT look In vain lor the contribution to my own Alma Mater, the University or Pennsylva nia, and I should think that her man; sons would feel 1 heartily ashamed of their want of generosity or their want of Interest in, this venerable, institu tion, whioh has educated hundreds of Philadelphia’s most influential citizens,. Ho oollegeln the country of its slso has, snob a number of wealthy graduates, and yet It gets not a penny from them. The college l tuition Is'thirtylfive dollars a term, or one hundred and Jive' dollars per annum. How, take this fact Into consideration, and la It all to he wondered _at that peoplefiring ta the Jiwns near ™tedelpUa, and tho eoantry soiToundlng, shouldsend their sons to other colleges rather than to the University! At Tale the college tuition Is *46 per annum, and at no college Is It as high as at the University. Twenty graduates oould be pointed out who oould readily give two hundred thousand dollars to the Institution, whioh sum would be sufficient to endow four professorships, and enable the college to make the tuition fees moderate. Parents always desire to have their sons as near them as possible during tbelr college career, and It Is reasonable to suppose that if tbe college bills were smaller and the proper Inducements weie'.offered, instead of the usual one hundred and thirty students In the, academic depart ment there would-be over two hundred. The Uni versity, as It Is without doubt the best college in Pennsylvania, ought to ho the college for Ponnsyl vanlans. One hundred thousand dollars Is about to he subscribed to Lafayette College, whioh college had last year on Its rolls not quite fifty men, yet the University, founded In 1749, and the third oldest college In the with a long list of wealthy graduates, has received no contribution of impor tance Sw years. The college library is neglected, although the venerable Dr. Barnes Is the chairman of the oom* mittee, and It is probable that few new books have been put upon tbe shelves for many years, mid those books whioh now constitute the library are so un readable that they are never disturbed by professor or undergraduate. Cannot- some of the rioh gra duates of the University gtve of their abundance towards tbe endowment of professorships, the esta blishment of prizes and of courses of lectures, and the Increase of the library I Usdembaomte. , City Warrants. To the Editor of The Press : Sib: At the last meeting of City Councils, a re solution was offered by Mr. Barron, directing the Finance Committee to sell two millions of the stock of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and re ceive city warrants In payment. 'Any large amount of City loans could not be sold hut at a groat sacrifice, while the railroad stock sells at a large premium. The measure proposed by Mr. Barron Is the proper one, as it would rid the. market of a floating olty debt, and thus Improve the credit of the olty. It Is to be hoped teat Conn ells, at their nest meeting, will act promptly In tee matter. , Hespeotfully, PHII-ADJttPHIA, Deo. 22,1864. THE CITY. UMmujEora. SALABIES OP PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS. The subject of an increase of wages is one of im portance. It has engrossed private and pnbllo at tention, and though there has been an advance granted In various Instances, yet there are many perrons engaged in occupations that require men tal as well as physleal labor who have not received an advance In accordance with the exigencies of tee times. ’ In referenoe to public positions, tee princi pal teachers of tee gram mar schools have addressed to tee Olty Councils a circular, of which the follow ing IS a copy: A committee of eleven teaehers, having the sub ject referred to them, submit the following relative to the salaries now paid for their Services: * The Board of Controllers of Public Schools, No vember 22d, 1864, by a vote of eighteen to four, adopted tee estimates presented by their Committee on Estimates, which Include an Increase of twenty per centum on all salaries In the school department. They thus endorse the report of the said committee, whioh contains the following language In referenoe to salaries: “The Increase of salaries of those employed In this department has enlisted tee earnest considera tion of this committee. A eommittee of male prin cipals of schools appeared before us with a detailed statement of tee salaries paid and the increased cost of living. We are satisfied that their salaries are Inadequate; and, as the wages In almost every other department 01 labor, have been largely In creased, we believe teat justice to a oalllng which requires a high order of talent and unceasing indus try demands a corresponding Increase in their sala ries. Your eommittee would, therefore, recommend an Increase of twenty'per oent. upon tee salaries of all teachers and employees under this Boards 1 We alalm that In no other olty of tee Union Is the professional tea-oher so poorly paid as in Philadel phia. A male principal of a first-class grammar school Is this city received, before the war, and until towards the end of 1863, but *1,200 perannutn; superintending his school, and, to some extent, tee schools of his section, and also teaching a division entirely without aid. In other cities, gentlemen holding similar positions received from fifty to se vesty-five per cent, more pay, and had the assist ance of a vIOB-prlnclpal, or sub-master, in the dis charged tee duties here devolving entirely upon the principal. In Philadelphia there Is but one male teacher employed in a school; In New York and Boston, as well as In other cities, there are from two to six males. Thus, the maintenance of dis cipline is notso burdensome a task there as here- In Boston from *8,600 to *9,000 wore pqld la salaries to the teachers in each grammar school of aboat 500 beys ; and in this city but *3,600 were paid In sala ries for the same work. There, the male principal, or master, received *2,000 per annum ; here, with three timet the population,-about the same number of principals received *1 2CO each, and some In, the rural districts received but *7OO. In Boston, most ot the schools had sub-masters at *1,600 per annum,- after four y ears’experience, and some schools also had ushers, at *l,OOO each, after two years’ ex perience; in Philadelphia eneh positions are un known, all the assistants being females, most of ■whom cannot bocensidered as professional teachers, In grading the salaries tor 1864, the Controllers gave the female teachers an Increase on tee old rates of 1862 and previous,.ranging from fifty per oent. down to twenty-five per oent.; about two tblrdsof the number averaging an Increase of forty five per oent. The principals of grammar schools were left at twenty-live per cent, increase, except that some of tee male teachers In tee rural seotions received an Increase' of forty per cent. Since teat time prioea of all tee necessaries of life have contirme'd to advance, and our present salary will not purchase as muoh as half the old salary did beloie the war. Tbe proposed increase of twenty per cent, on the present rates wUi give to thoso who have had fiity per oent. increase already, thirty per eent. additional, or eighty per oent. increase on the rates of 1862 and previous; and although the In crease is small compared with that In tee oost of living, yet male principals and others who received but twenty-five per oent. additional before, with but twenty per cent, now, which is equal to twenty.flve per cent, on tee old rates, will have hat an Increase of fifty per cent. In all on the old rates. We would call attention to the fact, well known to all, teat the actual oost of living has Increased from two and a half to three times what It waspre , viousto the war. Thus: Ter, formerly 60 cents per pound, SOW *1.5Qip*1,75 —lncreas«2Qo to 260 percout. - Coffee formerly 14 cents per pound, now 60 to 70—in crease 830 to 4to per eent. fusar, formerly 8 cents per pound, now SO—lncrease 276 per cent.

Dress goods for women and children increased 300 to 400 per cent. Muslins Increased -ICO to 450 ner cant Drown bheethigs increased 800 to 650 Osr cent Canton 31 annate, formerly 10 cents, now (S—increasa 850 per cent. Cotton laps, formerly 18 caste, sow sl,7s—increase 872 per cent. Drttge increased 200 per cent. Coal and wood increaerdJSO to 200 per cent. Boots increased 200 to 200 per cost. > We would oall attention to the fast that we have to pay (In addition to the discount on our warrants, necessary to convert them Into money, whloh Is now ten per cent.) a United States income tax of eight per cent, on that part of onr -salaries over $6OO, be sides a license fee, IF the salary Is $l,OOO or over, thus making a large deduction from our nominal & accordance with the Increase in the prices of the necessaries of life, a corresponding increase has been made in the wages and salaries of most em ployees and tradesmen; in some cases, small in amount’at one lime, and obtained without delay, but oooarring frequently, so that, although not no ticed as much as an Increase in the salaries of 1,300 teachers, occurring but once or twice, and requiring the concurrence ofieveral public bodies, yet it has been as a whole closely corresponding to the rise in the prices of food, Jto. . Boston, with one-third the population of Phila delphia, and one-third the number of pupils In her schools, has made an Increase In the salaries of her teachers, amounting to $50,000, which Increase went Into effect on the first of September last. The County Superintendents of many of the coun ties of Pennsylvania have received considerable ad ditions to thelrpay within this year : for example, the Increase in Blair, Bedford, and McKean coun ties, 100 per cent.; in Carbon, 80; in Ferry, 62%; In Beaver, Jefferson, and Lehigh, 80; In Luzerne, 50; to Northampton, over 42, and to Cumberland, to per «ent. Bank clerks have received, through part pay in gold, inorease and bonus, 100 per cent. Increase. Mechanics and laborers receive an Inorease ol 60 to 200 per cent., and In some cases more. For instance— Batters from .....100 to 168% per cent, Joiners eoto 70 “ t Paper Hangers so to 100 « Laborers ISO percent. Cartage that was at 25 to so oaucs now costs $1 to $l6O, and a journeyman shoemaker dan earn from 4% to $27 per week, whloh Is mere than the male principal of a first class school receives. The Controllers have hesitated in giving any in crease of salary, and have made such increase as they have given small to comparison with the need for it, on account of the increasing expenses of the city; but, we submit, that we should not continue to suffer so much for years on aooount of the war. We patriotically waited, hoping lor its end, until we found It Impossible to wall longer, before we asked (or any Increase; and we also submit, that, considering the amounts expended for city bounties, defence, and relief of families of volunteers, and, also the Increase to the salaries and wages of those employed In the different departments of the city government, and the Increase, to the cost of materi als, and the allowances to contractors, as dlreot war expenses, the expenses of the city have not inoreased to proportion to Its growth. We also oall attention to the fact that the tax for school purposes for 1886 Is flxod at forty-four cents per hundred dollars,' while that for lighting the city la twenty-two cents, and that for highways is twenty-three cents; or, In other words, a man's road tax, without regard to police, is greater than that whloh educates his children, and which, whe ther he has children or not, educates the com munity, and thus keeps the “poor” tax at as low a rate as fourteen cents on the hundred dollars, In stead of being, as to other places, many times that Male principals to this city are* almost without •exception, married men* with families to support. An unmarried man has had for years hut little •chance of obtainiug any other than a very low post tion In the public schools. The city does not provide school libraries, and the teacher, desirous of keeping up with the age, and •obtaining scientific and professional works, must -purchase them. This has been impossible for some time, as the salaries are too small to enable us to live decently, and we have been obliged to seek ad tlonal employment for the evenings, and use what savings we have made by previous economy. previous to this jear, the courts gave to the Con trollers the power to fix the salaries, of teachers absolutely, the power of Oounoils ln appropriating for the purpose being merely ministerial; but a recent deoision of the Supreme Court of the state lias given to the City power to deoide for what purposes they appropriate the money far the schools, and to have avoice In fixing the amount of the salaries of the teachers. In view of tee above points, wo rospeotfuUy ask your honorable body favorably to oonslder the ques tion of increase of our salaries, and to grant oven larger salaries than those proposed by the Con. "The Councils have. In viewer tee necessities or thecaseTbeen generous In other departments; wa ask them to be just to ours. THE EGBERT CHRISTMAS DINNER. The icentleman to whose care Mrs. Dr. M. O.

If J., bartender at the hotel of Mr. Davis* Market-street wharf, was ar raigned at the Central Station yesterdayafcernoon,being somewhat implicated in the drawing of a bogus check for $1,600, upon which goods to the amount of $390 had been obtained at the store of John G. Tilney. near Fourth and Market streets. Tim evidence was developed as follows: John McGowan, messenger of the Phila- • dolphin Bank.teslided that a little after llo’clock in the morning a check for $1,500. signed by Wm. R. Roach, was presented at the counter of the bank. The paying teller called on Mr. Cummings, the board being in ses sion, and the check was handed to him and examined; he requested me to go with the person presenting it un til 1 found a police officer', we went to the store near Fourth and Market streets, and finally went to Davis* Hotel at the foot of Market street; heard the defendant say he signed the check. DaoielO’Eri&p, employed at the store of John G Til-, ney, testified that a man, calling himself Roach, pur* chased some goods to the amount of $3OO at the store, and ordered them sent to the hotel of Mr. Davis that morning; he gave a check to the lad, and told him to go to the hank and gafrit marked good; the goods were left at the hotel; upon finding the check was not good* the purchased articles were recovered at the hotel and taken back to the store. The defendant, in answer to inquiries, tald the msn’s name was Roach, that he had not signed the book of registry, as he had fallen in the morning and almost broken hia ai m. The magistrate ashed the defendant what -he had to say in regard to signing the check. The defendant, without hesitation, said that the man who gave the name of Roach stopped at the hotel on Wednesday night. He said that he had just' arrived from New Beoford, and-was id scarce of goods of various kinds, .as he intended to obtain a ship and. cargo for Rio. I took him, continued the defendant, to be a respectable man. He made inquiries as to where the best places were to purchase goodi. He wanted some cigars, and I took him to Dean*s on Chestnut street. This morning he came to me aid asked me to aitn a check for him, as he had fallen on the ice and injured his arm so much that he could not write. I made some remarks that I eouldnotsign his same in his style; but he said that was no matter; he would put his private markon it and go to the bank himself. I then signed the check, and soon after this he went away. He also said that he had a check, drawn by J. W. Toland, on a bank in Balti more, for $2,700. He wanted me to go to Baltimore and collect it, and to purchase a chronometer for him in that city. He also said that If he succeeded in obtaining a ship to go to Rio he would like me to go out as super * cargo. . The defendant, having concluded his remarks, was held to bail. In the sum of $l,OOO, to appear at a further hearing. [Before Mr. Alderman Pancoast.] MORITUOAI, BTEALING.
