Christmas shopping made
easy.
Out-of-town people, have
you any idea how comfortable
It is to shop at Wanamaker's?
You leave your parcels and
wraps at the parcel-room, near
the door Market and City
Hall Square), and then begin
your looking just as comfort
ably as if we brought each
counter into your own home.
When you make your first
buy, ask for . transfer-slip,
have each purchase marked
on it, and when you have fin
ished buying, go to the trans
fer-desk, give shipping direc-
tons, and pay for all at once.
In the meantime, take lunch
In the basement or in the tea
room third floor Chestnut
street-by the way, the earlier
the comfortabler) and, if you
get tired, rest in the waiting
room on the first floor or the
basement, whichever is near
est.
As for amusement, there's
plenty Of with the cat
Show, the bird-show, the pic
lures, the toys, the tssrntshed
rooms, the different stores full
of pretty things-books, fancy
rticles, jewelry, and all sorts
of small stuff in the middle of
the store, the bric-a-brac on
the second floor, and SO. on.
Everypart ofthe thinks
it is a Christmas place just
now, and, if you think SO too
why so it is. There are
some good culinary souls
who'd rather have a new kind
Of baking-tin for Christmas
than anything else-and why
| not?
Ask anybody, who has his
hat off, where anything is.
There is nothing so good
natured as a crowd, and we
catch its good-nature easily.
It is our business to be good
natured, anyway-who has any
business to be anything else

! MANILA, August 14.-Durng the
month of July the average daily attend
ance i'm all the schools in Manila was
4179. This is the largest number that
has ever attended the schools here. Dur
| ing the year 1896, when all was tranquil,
| the average daily attendance was 200S.
The heavy rains proved a drawback
! in many districts during the past
months, but the continued interest that
! both teachers and pupils took in the
studies seems to have aided in over
coming even the unfavorable climatic
| conditions.
During the last two weeks there has
been an increase of $50 in the daily at
tendance, that, according to indications,
will continue to grow.
The Girls school at Conception has
secured the honors of the largest per-
centage of children in their district at
tending school The percentage of chill
dren in that district in attendance Is
SO per cent. This unusual percentage
would compare favorably with a school
! district in many American cities.
The high percentage attained is a
compliment to the teachers of that
school, whose untiring efforts during
the month have won the interest of the
! pupils. The teachers who bear off the
honors are Principal Sonora Martinad
! Tuason, teacher of Spanish, and Miss
! Katherine Egbert, teacher of English
The schools have all been provided
with suitable furniture and made as
comfortable as possible under existing
| circumstances.
The following is a list of the several
districts with the daily attendance of
each:
Tondo 295; Binondo 500; Santa Cruz
337; Quiapo 232; san Sebastian 80; Sam
paloc 2S4; San Miguel ISL; Conception
| 1870; Ermita 275 Malate los; Singalon
| 1O5; Pace 1856; Pandacan 10; Santa Ana
! so; Intramuros 925; making a total OF
4179.
There are in all 20 Filipino and Span
ish teachers and II English teachers.
| The cooperation of all the teachers of
| the different languages is a source of
much qualification to the public. The
Filipino and Spanish aid as much as
possible in assisting the English teach
ers in their work Whenever the OppOr-
tunity presents itself to them. In this
way the progress has been rapid and
the interest in the work is always kept
| from tagging.
