FEW CARE TO TEACH
THE YOUNG FILIPINOS
Only Two Candidates Appear to I'm
dergo Examination for Service.

Only two candidates appeared at the
federal building yesterday to take the
examination for teachers in the Phil
ippine service. Five applications had
been filed, but three of the applicants
failed to put in an appearance.
Although the pay is much better than
can be earned in this country, the
American teachers do not appear to
fancy the positions in the islands. Last
summer, when a similar examination
was held, there were but three candi-
dates, and again in October not even
one showed up to take the examination.

Sanitation In New Orleans.

From the New YORK Ir1Dune
The sanitary regeneration OF the crescent
city has Just entered upon the second Of
three important stages. For a system Of
sewers, which win extend through $50 miles
Of streets the initial digging occurred few
days ago. and 1t was attended with appro-
pirate ceremonies Hitherto most Of the
dwellings In New Orleans have been with
out any such accommodations. A private
company, Of recent origin. built a few short
and larger buildings, but even these dis
charge into cesspOols. When the projected
municipal work is completed, connection
with the public sewers will be compulsory
upon all property owners. and the Nth OF
the city will be forced to distance by
pumps Thus a radical change In comfort,
Cleanliness and health will soon be effected.
That revolution will be accompanied. or
closely followed, by the Introduction OF an
adequate water supply Tho two things
ought always to go hand in hand. and de-
ficfencies in one respect are usually attended
bv deficiencies in the other. This has beeen
the experience Of New Orleans. To limited
number of consumers another private COM
pany has ministered since 1885: but the
great majority Of townspeople have relied
nnon cisterns. These are liable to grow
foul. and are great breeding places for
mosquitoes. AS an offset to the obligatory
feature of the new sewer system, water Is
to be furnished to householders gratuitous-
". Moreover, since the city Will have the
whole Mississippi river to draw upon. there
certainly should be an abundant supply.
Owing to occasional diiscoloration by soil
carried in suspension: filters: or at least. set.
ting basins, will doubtless be requisite; but
the quality of the water Is said to be
above reproach. 30 far as disease germs
are concerned.

Save the Trees!
,ou the Chicago Inter-Ocean

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean
Much has been charged against the mod
ern historical novel. but until person OF
statistical mind came forward and grasped
the subject by the roots its far-reaching
evils were unsupported. 1t Is well known
that books are made Of paper: that paper
,s made of cellulose, and that the cellulose
supply comes from timber. The discovery
made by the statistical person has these
facts for its basis. To this Is added the
fact Of nine historical novels with total
sale of 100000 copies. The average
weight Of each book is calculated at twenty
ounces, and so 1 900 900 books contain about
1000 900 pounds of paper. manufactu-
rer Of paper figures that good average
spruce tree will yield little less than half
a cord OF wood or 500 pounds Of paper.
Thus nine historical novels circulating L.
GOO 900 copies represent about 1000 trees.
The cruelty of the book reviewer has
often been shown, when, weary OF the flood
of historical novels. he has advised the au-
thor to take to the woods" He has prob
ably not suspected that his advice has a
literal meaning, since the greatest danger
from the writer OF historical fiction lies in
the woods. The historical novelist OF today
is remarkably prolific. and circulation Of
1,6OO 900 copies for nine historical novels or
1900 trees, is but an earnest of what he
may do. The bureau OF forestry has long
been sounding the peril to our forests from
fires and the ravages Of insects. Shall to
these perils be added the more serious one
that denudes the tree area for the sake Of
little excitement concerning a gentleman
with a rapier and his lady lovef

Demand for Garden Cities,
From the Pilgrim.


Some day garden cities In some form or
Of the age demand them. First Of all, the
human needs must be emphasized-the NEED
of breathing space. Of beauty. OF varied
work and Of society. OF these. the city too
often gives the workman's family only So
ciety. He lives in fire traps, he breathes
night air from air shutes into which a
dozen others bed rooms pour their foul
breath. The few cubic feet Of space for
which he pays a rental that would give
him a whole house in the country, Is so
congested with his babies and his belong
ings that too often he finds the saloon the
only spot where he may be at ease. His
wife finds her sole outing in sitting on the
doorstep or perhaps on the fiat roof with
whining baby on her arm, on torrid
But the grimy blocks bursting with hu-
manity. the jostling crowds, the street
cries and the tumult become dear to him:
he is 80 wonted to them that even the
loss of his job and hunger and cold can
scarce drive him to unwonted work in
farm or village. where he knows the spec
ter of awful loneliness would haunt and
try road at night with not a gas light
visible Is peopled to his fancy with all the
horrors that q dark attic conveys the ner-
vous child shut there for punishment. He
understands how men who lived on lonely
farms have been found hanging stark and
stiff in their own barns the moose tied by
their toilworn hands. Neither he nor his
unknown space beyond the street car ter

health and opportunity, but a blank. alien
world devoid Of sympathy and hope.

Demand for Toy Pistols.

From the New York Times.
THE demand for toy pistols is greater
this summer than 1t ever was despite the
unusual number Of accidents reported since
Decoration day." said manufacturer in
West Broadway. You might as well try
to deprive the girl Of her ice cream on the
Fourth Of July as the small boy Of his
toy pistol. and 1 am not sure that one is
any more dangerous than the other If
proper discretion is used. The little cop
per pistol with paper caps cannot harm any
child. They are sold by tens Of thousands
overy year. But when a boy gets beyond
his toy pistol and wants something that
will fash real powder he Is getting into the
weapon department. so to speak. 1t Is
high time then for the parents to take
hold. A great number of the alleged toy
pistols sold every year are decidedly dan
gerous. They are not toy pistols at all,
but firearms. and are more perilous than
q brass cannon in the hands of a rash
small boy Manufacturers generally favor
a law making 1t a misdemeanor to sell
them.

ILLITERACY AND CHILD LABOR.
Solutions Of the Two Problems Closely
interviewer.

From the Review Of Reviews
Closely akin to the problem Of providing
for the education of the children Is the
problem Of child labor. To meet effectively
tn evil Of illiteracy in this country We
must deal with it in the period between the
ages of ten and fifteen years. Not very
much can be done for adult illiteracy; the
flood must be checked nearer its source.
A study of the facts makes 1t clear that IL
literacy is considerably promoted by the
employment of children in factories and
otherwise. The past winter has seen much
wholesome agitation of the question. We
have twenty states in which 30 per cent
or more Of the children between the ages
of ten and fourteen are able to read and
write. In such states. obviously, adult n
Hteracy will soon disappear except as 1t Is
recruited from foreign countries.
But at the last census there were almost
100000 illiterate children (between ten and
fourteenl In the United States. five-sixths
of whom were in a dozen states Of the
south. Happily. this southern condition is
greatly improved since 1890. Thus, North
Carolinas nliterate children who were
more than 80 per cent of the whole in 1890
were less than % per cent of the whole in
1900. Louisianas childhood illiteracy had
decreased from 43 per cent to SO per cent
South Cardinals from 80 to about % pei
cent; Georgia's from 33 to % per cent, and
so in every southern state there has beer
a marked gain in the intelligence of the
children Of both races. But this gain only
serves to lend greater zeal to the efforts
ment. The growth Of cotton mills and fac
tories in the south has led to the employ
ment OF great numbers of children of ar
age much too young for such work

ice. Commissioners West said that he be-
lieved Mr.. Mckenzie would accept. The
latter has some business arrangements 10

and is understood to be attending to these

Alleged Use Of Influence"
There were no new developments TODAY In
the charges that two members OF the
force had used and sold their political In
fiuence to aid applicants to secure situa-
tions in the police and FIRE departments.
Major Sylvester is. however. quite deter
mined to sift the matter to the bottom and
after 1t wars first made public by The Star
Saturday afternoon Policeman J. l.. Gill
lott and Crossing Policeman J. A. Martin.
who are mentioned as having been con-
cerned in the affair. were summoned to ap-
pear before him, together with other per-
sons said to have had connection with the
matter.
The investigation was continued yester-
day and parties interested made statements
in the presence of stenographer In Major
Sylvester's office. Charges are being pre-
pared against elliott and Martin at head
quarters today, and the case will be pre-
sented to the trial board at the earliest
possible time. 1t is not probable that the
men mentioned in connection with the
charges will be suspended In advance OF
final settlement.
Prior to his appointment on the regular
force elliott was a crossing policeman,
and while holding that position was mixed
up in fight at a political convention at
Marlboro, Md, during September, 1899.
Major Sylvester at that time recommended
to the Commissioners that he be removed.
The Commissioners, however. saw mt not
to adopt the suggestion and elliott was re-
tained. He passed the physical and civil
service examina tons for the department.
