A considerable number OF these dlvis-
Ion superintendents have been chosen,
and few have already been Installed
In their positions. The school law en-
acted by the commission also provides
for the employment Of 1000 teachers
from the United States, OF which num-
Der nearly 500 havs been chosen. The
selection Of both the division superin-
tendent and teachers Is In the hands
OF superintendent Atkinson who has
given the greater part Of his time to
this work since the passage Of the act
authorizing their appointment Ac-
cording to reports from Manila, more
that 5000 teachers applications from
all parts Of the United States have
been received and passed upon by him.
Applications for teachers positions In
the Philippines hace been received
from all classes and professions. not
a few having been made by lawyers.

doubtless with a view 10 securing
transportation 10 this new field. How
ever, many applications have been re-
ceived from professional teachers
youched for In the highest terms by the
educational authorities A number OF
this class have signihed their willing
ness TO accept the same salaries for
work In the Philippines as they now
receive IN the United States. and few
have offered 90 90 for less. The lead
Ing colleges and normal schools are
heartily cooperating with Superlntend-
ent Atkinson in securing teachers.
No religious distinction has been
made In these appointments. nor has
any race line been drawn. the sole de-
sire being 20 secure competent and en-
thusiastlc teachers OF the highest

They are conveyed thither by the army
transports, going by way Of San FRAN
cisco. About half this number left on
the transport Sherman a few days ago
and the balance will go on the next
outward bound transport, The war de-
partment has been very liberal In its
treatment Of the American teachers
and has greatly facilitated the eduea-
tlonal work OF the commission IN the
Philippines.
In report to the commission SUPER
lntendent Atkinson says. WIZ. 4 ~,
'The greatest present need Is that Oh

building or parts OF buildings rented
or assigned for school purposes should
be used exclusively for school purposes,
and no teacher or member of a teach-
er's family should be. permitted TO dwell
therein. All school buildings occupied
by soldiers or In any way used for milf
tary purposes should be turned over to
school authorities at the earlie"' practi-
cable moment. Nearly all the buildings
that have been used for military pur-
poses are In poor condition. and II
will be necessary for the municipalities
to spend money for their alteration and
repair
1t is superintendent Atkinson's poll
Icy to make the English language the
basis Of all public instruction at the
earliest practical moment, and It has
already been introduced as such. This
seems the part Of wisdom, since only a
small portion Of the population speaks
Spanish. and the rest is divided as to
language into dozen different Malay
dialects, each unlnteliglble to the
other.
Superintendent Atkinson announces
TO the Filipinos that the American SUI
perintendents and teachers are being
brought from the United States for the
purpose OF creating and putting into
operation school system for these is
lands and that they are coming TO
teach the Filipino teachers American
methods, He tells them that no Fill
plno teacher VIII be discharged from
any position he may now hold except
for incompetency or immortality and
that as soon as they can prove them
selves capable to take charge of their
own schools the United States authori-
ties VIII turn the administration thereof
