The Education of tho FiIipinos.

Ossian H. Lang in the July-September
Forum: Frederick W. Nash writes from
Manila to the Educational Review that
such Is the demand for English among the
Filipinos that while two years ago there
were less than two hundred native teach
ers who could give instruction in the Ian
guage, there are at present more than two
thousand actually engaged in teaching
English and practising methods and IDEAS
learned or American teachers in the
American-taught normal schools And
Mr.. Atkinson, who was the first commits
sioner OF public education in the archi-
pelago, and who has just returned to this
country and accepted the SUPERINTENDENT
OF the schools Of Newton, Mass, saws that
English was introduced into the schools
because the Filipinos wanted it," It is
largely because Of the demand for English
that there are nearly a quarter Of mil
lion pupils enrolled in the something like
two thousand day and evening schools.

illustrating her character is this: She
saw on her husbands table a document
regarding a political prisoner. On the
margin Alexander III. had written:

NEW SYSTEM IN FORCE.
Disbursing Officer Rogers Discusses
Plan of Paving School Teachers.

Mr.. C. C. Rogers, disbursng officer for the
District states that the proposed new sys-
tenn Of paying the teachers in the public
schools of Washington seems to meet with
the approval of the supervising principals
of the several divisions. Some of the in
dividual teachers, however 1T seems, are not
in favor of the plan. They appear to be I'M
der the impression that in signing the pay
roll previous to receiving their checks,
which is virtually a receipt in advance, Is
placing them at a disadvantage, in the
possible event of the check being lost or
their failing to receive it for any other rea-
son.
AS Mr.. Rogers explains it. If the teachers
We're paid in cash the signing of receipt
in advance might in some cases operate to
their disadvantage, but since the payments
are all to be made by individual checks,
which are to be delivered to the secretary
of the board Of education and then to the
teachers through the several supervising
principals, as has been the custom previous
ly, the proposed system will not work ad-
vantageously to the teachers.
In case any teacher does not receive q
pay check, because of it's being lost, or for
any other reason, the matter can be prop
erly traced. By inquiry at the Treasury De-
partment it can be ascertained whether or
not the check in question has been paid. If
not the disbursing officer will give notice to
stop payment on the order, and after a rea-
sonable time, if the missing check is not
found, duplicate can be issued to the
teacher.
In case the Endorsement of the teacher has
been forged on the check the matter would
be presented in a different Light. However
there seems to be no system that is en-
tirely proof against forgery.
The first payment of teachers under the
new plan will be made next Saturday.

JOHN TURNER'S CASE.
It is Claimed That the Law Plainly
Excludes Such as He.

John Turner the English anarchist, who
was arrested in New York recently on a
warrant sworn out by Secretary Cortelyou
of the Department of Commerce and La
Dor, and who was detained at Ellis Island
pending his examination and probable de-
portation to England, obtained a writ of
habeas corpus and will have his case ar
gued before Judge Lacombe today.
Turner's plea has been that he was in
violation of no law when he came here
and delivered his lecture before the an
archists at the hall in New York. that he
made no incendiary remarks and that he
was otherwise innocent of wrOngdoing.
He has not referred to the fact that he
was guilty Of violation of the United
States law because of his avowed belief in
anarchy and hatred of all forms of gov
eminent, according to the act of Congress
that was passed soon after the assassina-
ton Of Presiden Mckinley. That act pro-
vides that any alien who makes such pro-
fessiOnS or in any way shows that he is
out of sympathy with or makes any
threats against the head of this nation or
any other nation. or In any other manner
indicates his tendencies against govern
ment, shall have no foothold on this conti-
nent under the protection Of the American
flag.

ALLEGED DANGEROUS CROSSING
Inquiry Regarding Improvement of
Br1ghtWood Park Thorouphfare

Mr. NJ. F. Harmon has written to the En-
gineer Commissioner calling attention to
the dangerous condition Of the crossing at
the corner of 9th and Erie streets. Bright
wood Park. The writer also calls attention
to his communication of May q last, in
which he asked about the prospects for i'm
proving 9th street between Erie and Des
Moines streets. This street, the writer
states is in an exceedingly bad condition
for travel. never having been improved
since it was originally laid out and this
condition. he says is increased by the
drainage water from the improved part of
9th street north of Erie. The writer de-
clares the street is a constant menace to
public safety.
Mr. Morris Hacker superintendent OF
roads, In reporting on the subject. says
that the condition at 9th and Erie streets
has been repaired and with regard to the
improvements requested recommends that
the writer be informed that it will not be
practical to lay cement walk on 9th street
between Erie and DesMoines streets this
fall. The condition of the roadway in this
square is well known to the engineer de-
partment, 1t ia stated. but funds on hand
are not sufficient for its Improvement at
this time.
The Commissioners have approved the
recommendations.

INSPECTION OF FLOUR.
Business Men Suggest Regular Salary
to Officer in Lieu of Fees.

Messrs. Thomas J. Mayer, representing
w. NJ. Gait & Co; Albert Schulteis, repre-
sentng the Bakers Association; B. B.
EarnshaW, representing B. B. Earnshaw
& Bro; John G. Weinberg and H. B. Leary,
representing the Boston Baking Company,
were given a hearing by Commissioner
Macfarland late yesterday afternoon with
regard to the subject of flour inspection in
the District. The committee desired the
Commissioners to ask Congress to provide
salary for the inspector of flour, the re-
ceipts from fees, it was stated, furnishing
an inadequate income.
The members of the committee were OPP
posed to a compulsory inspection but want
ed a voluntary inspection, in order that they
| might have an official certificate in cases of
dispute in wholesale transactions within the
trade. Everywhere else, they said. the sys-
tenn of voluntary inspection prevails, and it
is for trade purposes primarily.
Commissioner mcfarland asked the flour
| men whether the compensation of inspectors
elsewhere was not by fees, and they replied
that they thought it was. except in New
York city, where the chamber of commerce
paid inspectors. They said they knew of
no salaried official inspectors, but the
volume of business here did not furnish
sufficient income to the flour inspector, and
they might be left without any official in
spection.
Commissioner Mcfarland asked If the
business would stand an increase of fees,
which. if doubled, would furnish an ade-
quate income to the inspector.
The committee said that the bus ness
could not stand it, and that to double the
fees would be to reduce the income. The
inspector now receives less than 5000 year
in fees and they thought he ought to have
81, 200 a year salary. However, so that a
system of voluntary inspection be MAIN
tanned they do not care how 1t is done
Commissioner Macfarland said that the
question apparently is trade matter, and
that 1t is questionable whether the entire
community should be taxed to maintain
that kind of an inspection, unlike the prac-
tice elsewhere, but that he would consider
the matter, and will bring it to the atten-
ton of the Commissioners. He said it would
require change of law to provide for a
salaried flour inspector.

Elected to Presidency.

"In 1876 Diaz was elected to succeed
Juarez as president of the Mexican repub-
lie. His term ended in 1880. The limita-
ton to the presidential term was four
years. But after four years of Gonzales
his successor, he was put back into office
and for his benefit, and, incidentally, the r
own, his people set aside the restriction of
his term of office. Diaz has held office as
president for twenty-six years.
Mexico, thanks to the diplomat who has
been her head for so many years, Is one
Of the best governed countries in the
world. The country is extremely rich in
commercial facilities President Diaz has
made the most of every opportunity to i'm
prove these facilities.
But first of all he and his assistants
looked to the improvement of the country
itself. Railroads and telegraphs were built
and erected fast as the way was opened
up for them DiaZ studied carefully the
United States systems copied them, and in
some cases improved on them. Mexico
boasts now Of 5000 miles of railway.
He has built harbors and brought a big
commerce to the country. Municipal gov
ernmental improvement is seen everywhere.
But Diazs biggest principle is educa-
| ton. Public schools and private schools
abound The school system Is excellent.
The president has necessitated the study of
the English language, great furtheranee
Of the progress of the nation. Even in
hamlets of only about 100 Indians a public
school is established.
Until a few years ago the cities had di-
rect charge of their own schools under the
central government, an appropriation of
81 COO 600 a year being made by Diaz to
these institutions. Now the central gov
eminent has direct charge of every school
in the country, a huge but SO far a success
full undertaking.
"A strange rule for Roman Catholic
country exists in the schools. President
Diaz himself proposed 1t. Absolutely no
religion is taught in the public schools.
Over the private schools he does not main
tain any jurisdiction ION that point. But
the expostulation and appeals from the
church cannot move him.
''Diaz has made the country beautiful
and prosperous, and the people are CRATE
full to him.
"One of the greatest statesmen in the
world, President Diaz has, through the I'M
bounded confidence of his 'countrymen, sue
ceeded In a very daring experiment. He
has made Mexico an absolute republic.
