Teachers and Pupils'' Fund. 



13 Exchange Street, Boston, Dec. 12, 1874. 



We have already had the pleasure of reporting, in the public news- 

 l)apers, the contribution of 8741.63 from 455 teachers and 12,018 pupils 

 of the public schools of Baltimore. 



The school committees of Philadelphia, Xew York, Brooklyn, and Bos- 

 ton believed it to be inexpedient to suspend, in our favor, the law forbid- 

 ding contributions to be taken up in the schools. Conti-ibutions, however, 

 have been received from those cities, excepting Philadelphia. In Js'ew 

 York, the president of Columbia College, and Madame Charlier's Insti-

 No. 1, gave 8190. In Boston proper, twenty-one friends, some thiiiy 

 teachers, and a few pupils, gave 8990.15 In the Charlestown district, one 

 hundred and fifteen teachers gave f 135, through the late superintendent, 

 the Rev. B F. Tweed. In the Western Slates many cities and towns gave 

 freely: Chicago, 01,003.40 ; St. Louis, $765.53. The number of contribu- 

 tors in these cities was not rei)orted, but it may, we believe, be estimated 

 at ten thousand in each. Below is a table showing the amounts received 

 from all quarters. As reports of the number of contributors were not 

 received from all of the schools, the numbers given in this table are 

 hypothetical, but they are believed to be substantially correct. Useful 

 as the amount received will be in building up the Memorial, we have 

 reason to believe, from the letters received at this office, that the indirect 

 effects have been of equal value : that it has been a very imi^ortant event 

 in the education of the country. It has given to the teachers throu^out
