The special correspondent i'll the
Philippines OF the Washington Even.
ing Star in Il letter dated Gilman,
Samar. April 81, 1902, brings out two
highly instructive points concerning
American teachers in those islands nnG
their relation to the natives aud the
army. The administration has been
tickling us with the ideu of the vast
progress the natives were making in
their studies. but from the testimony
given below it must be concluded that
those teachers AS Il class are useless
expensive and imiscbieveous. lie says:
Il would advise oyerworkCd teachers
in the States to get an appointment
over here, where the work is light and
the pay good. knowledge is not re-

ing and the third 'Goodby.' The
fourth month yon teach them 'tIow
are your and the fifth Very well
thank yOu.'
"rhere are two American teachers
here who have been teaching five
months, and as the above is the pres
ent vocabulary - the pupils the formula
Is correct. Those teachers were
notified last week that III view OF their
hard work during the past five months
they would he granted q three months
vacation with full pay. Three Tor five
is a good allowance, but | fear that the
vacation is so long that the pupils will
forget the vocabulary and tho five
months work will count us naught
So | repeat the advice FOR all
teachers to pack their rnrpotbags and
come this way, lis the work - light and
the pay is gooI.
at was rum0ied among the soldiers
that the teachers had warned the native
girls to ue ware or tho boys III klIaii, rs
they were the scum nf the States In
dignation meetings were held and the
teachers denounced in the strongest Of
English. The other day one of the sol.
diers filed up with native drink until
he WIS fighting mad, and then started
for the teachers residence.
"The teachers were thoroughly scared,
and they treated him with great cour-
tesy. They assured him that the rumor
WINS false and that they could not I'M
agiU5 how il ever originated Some OF
the pupils claim however that they did
make the remark, but | don't think the
will do SO again. rs they are o good
and wise, and when they speak OF the
soldiers in the future they will think
long and speak slowly

or curse those who have attended
the sessions OF Congress or read the

advantage Of every opportunity TO pre-,
sent the arguments III favor OF n nat
ional irrigation policy to your fellow
members in tho House OF Representa-
tives, but there nre very few who know
how much you have done in committee
md i'll tho inumcrable conferences
with friends Of the measure, and
through your quiet but persistent
missionary effort among the members
OF the House personally.
1 eau hardly SEQ how We could ever
have gotten through with the task II
we had not had the aid OF your never
failing patience and cordial courtesy
to wear away the friction points and
finally bring order out OF chaos,
l am doubly grateful that tho press

work OF creating n new nation in the
