SPELLING OF NAMES
IN THE PHILIPPINES.

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
Biographies, mapmakers and all who are
Interested in the Philippines will be glad to
learn that the United States Board on Geo
graphic Names has published a special re-
port containing a list showing the approved
smelling Of about 1000 names in the Philip
pine archipelago.
Urtl now the spelling Of these names has
caused much difficulty, for the reason that
existing charts, books. maps and other pub
l~ications did not agree on this point. On
Spanish charts the names were either all
Spanish or partly Spanish ana partly Malay.
written according to Spanish methods On
English charts the spelling OF some OF the
Malay names had been altered to conform
to the English n American methods CT
writing native names, and as a result many
errors and much confusion had arisen.
Being appealed TO for advice, the United
States Board of Geographic Names. after a
careful consideration Of the subject, st's-
sested that the names in current use ana
their spelling. as shown on the best Span
ish ofncial maps and charts. be adopted.
Acting on this advice. the .Hydrographic

done by next fall. and that school may be
opened then.
Doctor Taylor has submitted to the board
this outline for the course Of study for the
new school. which was approved:
1. School Of Engineering-(a) civil engf-
nee-ing; (b) electrical engineering; 10 me
chanical engineering:
II. School Of Commerce and Finance.
Ill. School of Fine Arts-(a) music; ()
drawing and painting: tcJ design.

VII School Of Pedagogy.
VIII. School of Liberal Arts-(a) phil.

ton and physical culture.
TX. School for the Training Of Librarians.
The course viii also include a preparatory
department in which. besides common
branches. there will be taught woodwork
ing. foundry and forge work. cooking, sew
ing. and so on.
The work of selecting the faculty will go
on with the building. The Cumberland
Presbyterian Church has two business
agents out soliciting further funds and ex-
poets to raise In all 100000 for the en-
dowment. There IS little doubt that the
hopes Of the founders to have In a few
years a great university will be realised.

One objection only developed to the meth

that the continued heat necessary for thor

the corn darker in color. and as dealers had

Many people in f Street are beginning

fine work turned out, and the like. The

hopes to be turning out more machines IN

said of net earnings during the past year.

The report was much like those that have
been issued for many years back and 1t
is not difficult to see why. the street does
