The Same Non-Sectarian Instruc-

Rotary Root.
Washington, July 11.-Secretary Root
has addressed an Identical letter TO
persons complaining that teachers in
the Philippines have been proselyting
and attempting to convert Catholics
to the Protestant faith. He makes
public the text of the cabIed denial
from Vice Governor Wright, the act
ing governor of the Philippines, which
says:
Untrue that nearly all American
teachers are Protestant preachers and
proselyters. The fact is one division
superintendent was preaching in the
United States a short time, then be-
came teacher. Possibly two or three
similar instances among teachers
Bryan, head of normal school, was
never clergyman and never occupied
pulpit here or anywhere.
There are now two American Cath
Ollie teachers in school of instruction
(normal schooD and five in Manila city
schools. Native teachers in city num-
bering 140, are all Catholic. Untrue
that teachers of normal schools are
only Protestants. Exceptional that
any graduate is other than Catholic
Untrue Filipino is taught that Pro
testantism bringing enlightenment and
Catholicism ignorance and tyran-
ny. No reason to suppose
that Stone, superintendent, and Oh
liver, principal, Manila schools, bigoted
or anti Catholic. Both deny it. as also
the statement that graduates of Cath
Ollie University have been refused place
in Manila and sent into the wilder
ness. Private Secretary of Commits
sioner Moses Catholic, also Private
Secretary Atkinson, general superin-
tendent Of public instruction, also three
division superintendents. Law to in
augurate public school system forbids
religious instruction in schools or school
buildings by teachers, but allows same
three days per week in school buildings
by priests or preacher, out of school
hours. upon request of parents (see sec
tion Is. act 74). This intended as con-
cession to Catholic sentiment. There
are about 3.400 native teachers employ
ed in the islands, all of whom are Cath
olics. Teachers selected without refer
ence to religion and not to preach or
teach religion in schools. No discrim-
ination against Catholic teachers.

s1,175.40 as her share OF the fund al
loted to separate school districts
This is an increase Of over $500 in the
city's share and certainly is a great
help in this time Of need. The in
crease is due to a great extent to the
efforts of Mayor Bell, who had a spe-
cial assessor appointed to assist the
county assessor in enumerating the
number Of educable children in the
district.

ITCH IS TORTURE

Eczema is caused by an acid humor in
the blood coming in contact with the
skin and producing great redness and in
Illumination little pustular eruptions form
and discharge a thin, sticky fluid, which
dries and scales off sometimes the skin is
hard, dry and assured. Eczema in any
form is a tormenting, stubborn disease,
and the itching and burning at times are
almost unbearable the acid burning
humor seems to ooze out and set the skin
on FIRE. Salves, washes nor other exter-
nal applications do any real good, for IS
long as the poison remains in the blood
it will keep the skin irritated.

The committee making the con-
tract for the personal and land tax
rolls for Mississippi certainly deserves
credit if their intention was to select
paper and binding which would prove
unsatisfactory and troublesome, and
at the same time expensive. They
succeeded admirably. The paper and
binding are shoddy and cheap, and
will not last one year. 1t is a shame
that no better Judgment was used
making the contract. A little more
expensive rolls will prove much more
economical in the end. The commit
tee ought to be composed of men who
know something of printing paper and
the binding of books.
