graduates, answered the advertisement
for the assistant bookkeeper and only
six applied for the other position.
Mr. Huntington, l do not believe,
has ever been in a SchOolroOm since he
left it, From what l know of schools
in various parts of the country | am
convinced that his criticism of modern
education is extreme. Schools of the
present day are constantly becoming
more practical. The pupils are taught
to observe, to think for themselves.
They are receiving instructions in man
ual training which is preparing them to
go into useful trades. Teachers are be-
ing prepared to instruct their pupils
in manual arts. The system of educa-
ton has greatly improved and devel-
oped since Mr.. Huntington went to
school. There is a tendency among
parents to seek to educate their chill
dren above mechanical work. l think
that this tendency Will be corrected.
Manual training will assist in doing So
and just such discussions as Mr.. Hunt
ington has raised will be exceedingly
helpful. Mr.. Huntington is a man of
ability. He is a man of affairs, and
do not believe for a moment that he
would have our Workingmen ignorant.
AS / understand it, he does not believe
in so much classical education. He
would not, in other words, have brick
layers read Greek and Latin; but, after
all, I do not know that would do the
bricklayers any harm.
Professor Van Amringe, dean and
acting president of Columbia UniveF-
sity, said Mr.. Huntingten's success
without any college education did not
prove that a classical training was not
good for the majority of men.
1T is the purpose of the university"
he continued, ito prepare men for
every field of usefulness. Students
faculties are trained and stimulated so
that they may be ready to cope with
complex problems of the present day.
Mr.. Huntington is man of genius He
would have attained success under any
circumstances. AS to the question Of
education of the masses, that is a very
grave matter and do not care to dis
cusS it at present"

LONDON, May 15.-The Filipino Jun

sage from Aguinaldo, cabled from
Hongkong under date of May IL:
The Filipino Government. in accordance
with the general feeling of the country,
has decided TO continue the war at all
costs until independence is secured The
Fflipinos energetically refuse the Ameri-
cans peace overtures based on restricted
autonomy coupled with promises of a
subsequent self-government. The Fill
pinos demand strict fulfillment of the
articles of the American constitution and
of the treaties contracted by the Ameri-
can representatives when imploring a
Filipino alliance in combating the Span
iardS.
All the Filipino generals support Aguin-
aldo. General Luna's reported overtures
for peace are untrue. Our army is near
Manila, simultaneously attacking the
whole American lire.
The heat and rains are causing MANY
casualties in the American army All the
hospitals are crowded with sick and
wounded. Four hundred of the Cincinnati
regiment have been imprisoned by Cen
eral Otis for INSTRUMENTATION in refusing
to fight. The regular troops quartered in
Manila and other towns are quiet The
volunteers are abused and always at the
front with .scanty rations. The discomfort

harm than good. Cubans imagine he
has been working for annexation. He
will prove the contrary this week, when
he publishes letters which have been
exchanged between him, General Brooke
and President Mckinley. After he has
done this the general will probably
leave the island. He has not penny.
He lives on charity. In, fact. we are all
doing the same. Gomez was forced to
dismiss his staff as he did not even
have food for it. They are looking for
policeman with a salary of $62 month.
All of Gomez's enemies have splendid
positions, while his officers and men
starve."

should an outbreak take place it would
occur in Santiago where Rabi and
Cebreco have large armed forces. Both
of the officers l have quoted are promi-
nent and reliable They pleaded that
their names be withheld.
Generals Gomez and Brooke held a
conference this afternoon. l was told
at headquarters that General Gomez
promised to continue to try to disband
the army peacefully. He will publish
a proclamation tomorrow which will
be approved by General Brooke. It's
contents are not yet known.

EX.MAYOR
HEWITT'S
SENTIMENT
Says Coils Bases His Ideas
Upon His Own Ex-
perience.

n EW YORK, May Widespread
nj interest was created to-day by
v the remarkable arraignment of
i \ modern education made by Col
lis P. Huntington last Saturday
night at banquet in San Francisco.
Mr.. Huntington had said that the
masses were being overeducated. and
that the young were spending too many
years in school. He spoke of fifteen
years as the limit of educational activ-
ity. Among those who read Mr.. Hunt
ingtons speech was Abram S. Hewitt.
also an exceedingly successful man, but
of a different school. Mr.. Hewitt is a
college graduate. He is the secretary
of the Cooper Union, founded by Peter
Cooper for the education of the work
ing classes.
MIR. Huntington, said Mr.. Hewitt
to-day, bases his ideas upon his own
experience. He thinks that because he
got along with little schooling others
can do the same What he did learn
certainly did him no harm. He need
not complain that boys did not leave
school early enough. Most of them in
this city are out of school by the time
they are fifteen years old.
We take them into Cooper Union at
the age of 10 years. That is on the
supposition that they no longer have
any chance to attend the day schools.
| do not believe that there is any dan
ger of overeducating the masses Any
thing which eleyates the people can do
them no harm. The world progresses
by the dissemination of knowledge If
knowledge is not a benefit we might
as we'll go back to the Middle Ages.
Anything which makes the world bet
ter should be encouraged. / am afraid
that Mr.. Huntington has come in con-
tact with Tpersons who have tried to
impose upon him. The world is full OF
the shfftless and the indolent: yet in
public schools 1t will be found that the
boys are bright. eager and ambitious.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1899-05-16

/ believe that most American boys now
wish to learn trades. There would be
no gangs" of diSSolute and idle young
fellows if all had an opportunity to
learn a trade. The trade unions have
been trying to keep them out. 1t is all
right for workingmen to seek to raise
their wages as against their employ
ers and as against society, but they
have no right to keep others out That
is a wrong of the worst character. Mr..
Huntington would have succeeded, edu
Gated or uneducated. He is a man of
indomitable energy and conspicuous
ability. He was bound to rise. 1t does
not follow that because he was success
full without much schooling that others
can reach success with no education
It all depends upon work. 1t happened
that / was we'll educated. Yet l did
not stop to think about that. l did
what work came to my hand. whether
| liked it or not"
Joseph j. Little, president of the
Board of Education, said that he had
read the address of Mr.. Huntington
with much interest.
1T is to be regretted, he said, that
Mr.. Huntington is not here to explain
his views in more detail. If by educa-
ton he means study of classics for
the laboring people he may not be far
wrong. l think that his views are,
however, on the whole erroneous. ct
it is a deplorable fact that it is hard
to find men who are good mechanics.
1t was only recently that l had occa-
sion to advertise for an assistant book
keeper The work was light and the
position was not worth more than $40
or SIS a week. At the same time l ad-
vertised for man to take charge of
mechanical department, the wages of
which were four times more than that
of the assistant bookkeeper. About
sixty Young men many of them college
