whether that We're not a spurious arti-
cle,-or at least likely to spoil,-the

not been confined TO the islands; it has
long ago spread over and beyond the
seas in many directions. This is clearly
a sign of health, and is indisputably
right and good. Hence, it is crafty

Is not necessarily a misfortune that so
many of our literally disposed people
are besieged with REQUESTS for aid to
good causes back in the States" pro-
vided-
First: That yielding to the request
does not tend to strengthen false i'm
pressions already prevalent. (a) That
wealth here in the Islands is boundless.
and (b) that we have no costly hui
manitarian problems of our own to deal
with, and
Second: That our own work at home
be not thereby crippled.
1t is safe to say that few realize the
extent of the burdens assumed by our
small Anglo-Saxon population,-bur-
dens which are, nevertheless, assumed
very cheerfully. In short article, the
materials for which have been gathered
very hastily and without access to the
other Islands for information, the sub
ject will be found to be but specifically
handled here, and the final estimates
must of necessity be conjectural. 1t Is
desired, however. to show something OF
the financial load carried by the
whites of our community, not by way
of boast, but in the way of protec-
ton to home interests. For instance.

We are safe in the estimate that $780,

OF course all benevolences which are
connected with SO many lodges and

sum, as the social element figures so
largely in such organizations that it
would be unfair to call them benevo- |

The New British Coinage.

It will be day of mixed feelings
for many Englishmen when they cease
to use coins inscribed with Queen Vic
toria's head. A great many British
subjects now living have never used
any other inscription, except when
they have found few battered shil-
lings of William w. and'George w. in
their purses. Fortunately the transi-
ton from the coins of Victoria to
those of Edward VII. will be very
gradual. But the Mint will not "call
in the coins Of the Queen except in
the most gradual manner, and the
coinage of Edward VII. issued at first
will only supply the normal gaps OF
the passing year. It was only recent
ly that the coins of George ~. and
William ". were finally called in, and
most OF us will probably continue to
use some Of the coins of Victoria as
Tong as we live.-London News.

And in your strong arms weary

Who, yawning, looks with sleepy eyes
Into sour own and family smiles;
Then shuts his lids and quiet lies,

When, climbing up, he plants a kiss

WHY SCHOOLS DETERloRA1E.
The Need of Better Wages For School
Teachers.

The American people, when it
;peaks through the orator and the es-
;ayist. says it wants from the schools,
intelligent, patriotic, healthy. and
happy citizens. There is no building
or apparatus or curriculum or system
hat can turn out such a product I'M
ess in connection with it there are in
clligent, patriotic, healthy, and happy
teachers. 1t seems unnecessary to
suggest that you must give teachers
The means Of supplying themselves
with these fine qualities. They can
nOt obtain these means except from
you. Teachers cannot, in appreciable
numbers, establish schools OF their
own and by tuition income get more
money in order to live more happily,
tor you, the American public, have a
monopoly Of the education business.
You arc practically the only employer.
You can and DO pay what you please.
Your present discomfort with education
awakened BY the rise of anarchism, is
largely due to your own treatment OF
your teachers 1t does not matter how
enthusiastic and hopeful are the
teachers you may get every year fresh
from the training schools. Unless you
treat them well they are bound to de-
teriorate. You know how true this is

teachers can live by law different
from that of other organisms. Pause
and think that the pauperizjng OF
teachers in any community is con-
slant menace, not only to the COM
munity that commits the sin, but to
every community to which the pupils
Of such teachers go. What you think
you save from teachers you lose, not
only in their service, but on hospitals,
courts and jails.
Who is going to look after this mat
ter Of teachers wages? A gentleman
Of large wealth whom | heard discuss
the salary question recently, deplored
the introduction of cCImercialism
into education. He said, quite truly,
too, that education was SO much mat
ter of love that its laborers must be
inspired with the missionary spirit
md not degrade their noble calling
by the unworthier pursuit of gain.
That same man hires teachers by ask
ing them, What do you think you are
WORTH" and beats them down to a
low figure, using this commercial
method to lead the teachers to nearer
approach to the uncommercial mis-
sionary spirit. This gentleman is fur,
ther quoted as saying, Il think you
are wrong ever to expect teacher to
enjoy to any great degree the luxuries
or even all the conveniences of life
or above all to expect the trustees OF
an institution to stand between man
and the consequences of too liberal
expenditure Of the money. If teachers
would stop whining about their pay
there would be more dignity to their
calling. McAndrew, in The

WALLS OF MANILA,
Plan to Provide Freer Egress and In.
qress and Preserve the Relic.

gress and Preserve the Relic.
There has been much said anent
the walls of Manila, but a new idea,
suggested by correspondent, is per
tinent. Thus far there have been
practically but two plans discussed
that of the entire demolition CT the
wall and that of entire conservatism.
1t appears as if perhaps, happy
medium or middle course might be
pursued without doing violence to the
feelings Of any one.
That the narrow gates are an OBJ
said, and provision viii have to be
made for freer ingress and egress.
This could be easily done and at the
same time preserve the most pictur-
esque gates and parts Of the wall, by
taking out the entire corner about the
lntendencia building, Strengthening
the present road from the MagallanCs
monument so as to follow more close
ly the river bank and widening Gale
deAduanas by taking in strip of the
old military hospital lot alongside of
the North side of the palace. By SO
doing a broad entrance to the official
part of Manila intramuros would be
made.
Then broad opening might be
made opposite the Eastern end of
Gale de Victoria, taking out as much
of the wall as might be thought advis-
able, but preserving the most interest
ing part of all-that from the Iglesia
de Santo Domingo to the opening
made at Gale de Victoria. Within
these limits are the Puntas de Isabella
and Parian. The entire wall might
also be removed from opposite Gale
de Victoria to Gale de Palacio, but
from the latter to opposite the West
ern end of Gale de Victoria, includ-
ing the corner facing the Luneta and
Legaspi monument, the wall should
be preserved. From Gale de Victoria,
facing the bay, to Fort Santiago the
wall might all be taken away, thus
allowing the city to be swept by
ocean breczes.'
The plan here proposed would
soothe the breasts OF those whose
csthetic sense would be outraged by
further destruction of what is pictur-
csque relic of times iong passed, and
at the same time not do violence to
those of more sordid minds, whose
thoughts and actions are bounded sole
ly by the dollar limit-that is, bust
ness.
In looking down on the wall from
the windows of the 1ntendencia, one
is struck by the splendid cpportuni.
ties for converting, with almost no
alterations, the broad surface there
of into beautiful esplanade, whereon
thousands might promenade or sit
and listen to music while refreshing
the inner man with cooling beverages.
Such structures are erected in many
places at great expense for just this
purpose, while for us here in Manila
it has already been built-Manila

Both in the Same Boat.

Great Britain has neglected its army
in it's care for the navy, and Japan
has neglected its navy in it's anxiety
about it's army. Great Britain is
about to make good its mistake at an
enormous expenditure, but the results
of the neglect on Japan's part will
be more harmful to Japan than they
will be in the case of Great Britain.
It is as clear as tine day that both for
Great Britain and for Japan the chief
task before each nation is the main
tenance of a powerful navy.-Tokio
