Grafton in Philippines.
WASHINGTON, Sept H-President
Mckinley has received a strong protest
against the alleged dissertation of
churches in the Philippines by American
troops. The protest is signed by Rev. DIR.
William F. McGinnis on behalf of the
Metropolitan Truth society, of New York
city In addition to the protest filed with
the president the whole matter will be
laid before the board of American arch
bishops, which meets in Washington on
October IL. DR.. McGinnis' communica-
ton says the outrages perpetrated by
American soldiers upon Catholic church
es in the Philippines have excited wide
spread Indignation and adds:
"Such indignation is based, first upon
newspaper reports and comments there
upon; second, upon private letters from
soldiers who have served or are serving
now in the Philippines; third, from sacred
vessels sent by United States soldiers to
this country and publicly exhibited in
New York and other cities; fourth, upon
the accompanying copy of a weekly paper
giving photograph of the United States
soldiers in the very act of desecrating an
altar in church by using it as a field
telegraph station, one of whom is fur
thermore represented as posing for the
photograph, cigar in hand

MR.. BELMONT's VIEWS.

He Denies ANY ChanSe OF Op1nloH
During His Absence in Europe.
LONDON, Sept. 17.-Perry Belmont ar
rived in London this evening from Paris,
not having been in England since July,
nor having seen reporter while in Eu-
rope. What purported to be an interview
with him, sent from London to the Unit
ed States on Sept. 6, was the result of
an imposition on the part of some one,
who from what appears to have been in
terested motives, represented himself to
a reporter at Euston station, London,
as being Mr.. Belmont, and expressed the
views with regard to American politics
as cabled.
h Mr.. Belmont, this evening, authorized
the statement that he has had no occa-
sion to change the views expressed on
the eve of his sailing for Europe and
that he consistently holds to his already
published opinions in regard to the finan-
cial doctrines of William Jennings B v
an and the Chicago platform, which he
will continue to oppose.
Mr.. Bryan's views in regard to the cur
rency are such that Mr.. Belmont could
not support him.
MIR. and Mrs. Belmont will sail for the
United States next Wednesday by the
White Star steamer Teutonic.

the CLERK TALKS.

HE SA6kA tAA9Ss
EDITOR NEWS: Since Il has been
the pleasure of the president of the
Board of Education to air his
grievances in the columns of the
NEWS, I deem It just and right to
correct an erroneous impression
which he seeks to create In the
minds of the public in regard to
school matters, by his (mis) con-
struction of the school laws. If the
president will turn to Sec. 1893, Art.
XXI, Page l25 of his dog-eared primer
(school laws of on he will
find that the law he refers to per.
tains exclusively to district schools
and has nothing whatever to do
with the schools of town or city.
The state superintendent says in
regard to this subject:
Boards of Education have the
right to establish the standard for
determining the standing of teach
ers and said board has the right to
place the minimum grade as high
as in their judgment 1t would be to
the best interests of the schools for
them to do 60"
At meeting of the Board of Ed.
ucation of this city July 3rd, Mr..
Willard proposed that the standard
be placed at 80 per cent general av-
erage, and 70 per cent minimum.
This was agreed to by unanimous
consent of the members. The pres.
ident and his master repudiated
this agreement as soon as the re-
suit of the examination was known
Only two of the applicants reached
the required standard.
1t lie without doubt that the pres
ent deplorable condition of our
schools 10 due to the fact that there
has been too much 90 per cent ar
ithmetic and geography, and 6S pei
cent grammer and spelling taught
| in our schools for the past few
years.
How many parents feel satisfied
with the progress of a boy or girl
who, after several years in school
reaches grade of only 90 or s. pei
cent in his or her studies? Should
we not expect something better
from those who are to teach them!
As to the matter of voting. when
women were allowed Co that privil'
eye, It was generally supposed that
they were endowed with a reason
able amount of intelligence, suffi.
cient at least, to enable them TO cast
their votes as they thought best,
and have yet to learn that II is the
prerogative of any one to question
that right.
wish to say that everything is
favorable for a good school this
year. There is absolutely no rea.
son why we should not have the
best and in order to do so, we must
have fret class teachers and do
away with the 90 per cent methods
we have been 80 afflicted with in
the past.
hope il will not be necessary for
me to say anything further on this
subject.
Yours for good schools,
JENNIE L. v. BREWSTER,
Clerk Board of Education.
