PURPOSE IN VIEW.

Perhaps the most important work under
taken by the government of the Philippines
is that designed to provide for the Filipinos
an opportunity TO learn the English language,
vey with a distinctly practical purpose in
view The Spanish policy Of preventing the
Filipinos in many instances from learning the
Spanish language and of looking with distinct
disapproval upon the use of this language by
the natives is policy sometimes pursued 10
make a subject people feel its subordination
One of the practical advantages Of 2 knowl-
edge Of the English language for the people
Of the Philippine Islands is that il viii supply
a common medium of communication where no
such medium formerly existed. and in view of
giving the educated part of the people the
practical use Of a new language appears now
much less difficult than at first 1t is as
practicable as teaching a community the use
of new tools.

Professor Cory Returns
Effects, but Peace
Is Not Sure.

BERKELEY. March "Resolv-
ing and "whereasing'' seems to have
resulted in some satisfaction to the
juniors at the University of California,
for when Professor c. L. Cory, chair
man of the students affairs commit
tee. arrived at his Office this morning
and found the set of resolutions
adopted by the class Yesterday, he
Immediately made up his mind to re-
turn all the jewelry and letters and
key rings that his imported policemen
took from the would be rushers last
Charter day eve.
Professor Cory called the six or eight
recaIcitrants before him, and. after
reading them a lecture, gave them
back their property. This was emf
nently pleasing TO the students, and
they are all so glad that they were not
fired forthwith that they couldn't
kow-tow enough to the professor. Now
the account is square again.
There is a promise of more. trouble.
however, in the developments of the
day. For on its way across the campus
this morning the college population
discovered some numerals on the for
hidden Charter Hill. They were the
figures '07 in big white letters of lime,
visible from every point in Berkeley.
The freshmen class had planted them
there in the night.
That '0T was as a red rag TO a mad
bull to the sophomores, the traditional
enemies of the freshmen, and a band
of them charged up the hill. In lit
tie while, there being no opposition,
the sophomores had changed the '07
into 'O6, life size. When the shades of
night lowered over the campus this
evening the '06 was still there
This overt act on the part of the
sophomores is more than likely to
end in another attempt at rushing.
1t amounts TO a challenge to the
'freshies" TO knock the chip off the
"sophs' shoulders, and hOstilities
may be precipitated at any moment.
In anticipation of such a thing, Pro-
fessor Cory has trimmed the wick of
his peering searchlight and picketed
guard around the hill. With the
dawn may come list of dead, dying,
wounded and prisoners.

PROBLEM AHEAD.
The professor said in part:

The work undertaken by the Government in
the Philippines involves the problem OF one
people educating the members Of another. and
an alien race whose thoughts are not our
thoughts and whose motives in conduct ii Is
not always easy for US to understand There
fore at the foundation of educational ad
minstration IN the Philippines lie the facts
Of racial distinction and the question OF the
relation OF one race to another.
The government of the Philippine Islands
has therefore aimed to impart such knowl-
edge would put. the Filipino in touch with
the practical ideas and affairs Of modern civil
ization II has believed moreover, that this
might be done without educating him out Of
his race. for the japanese have found thor
ough adoption of Western arts and sciences
and Western practical methods quite consist
ent with incorporating retention OF their
race spirit They have not lost their essential
charaSt eristics because they build steamships
and railroads and longer commit hari- kari
and there IS much in japanese history TO sup
TO accept many Of the arts and practical
methods of the West while still retaining
many Of the distinctive qualities of their race.
The educational policy Of the Government
Of the Philippine Islands differs from that fol-
lowed by any other European nation in its
Oriental dependencies. and this is and must
continue TO be the distinguishing feature Of
American administration Of dependencies
wherein our government of these dependencies
is likely 20 be superior TO that OF other ma =
tions.
It is our educational policy that gives us a
chance of distinction and il might almost he
said that on il hangs the justification Of our
control Of the Philippines But IN We turn
this business over TO politicians Of the ordinary
sort with their difference TO the school
shall be likely lose the distinctive feature Of
the administration that has been established
with very little chance OF showing in any
other direction superiority the world will sp

lilo DiOduNdy, 0ldICH Ne'
The system of education introduced
by the United States Government in

this afternoon by Professor Bernard
Moses, under whose direction the sys-
tenn was inaugurated in the islands, in
a lecture before the Alameda County
Teachers Institute at Hamilton Hall.
The topic of Professor Moses address
was The Establishment of Public
Schools in the Philippines" and in his
Introductory remarks the professor
regarding the establishment of schools
in the islands, and the division of the
archipelago into the present school
divisions. thirty-six in number, all eX-
cept four of which are under the di-
rection of a regular division superin-
tendent. These superintendent are
under general superintendent ap-
pointed by the Government, who is
authorized to keep in the service Of
the insular Government a force Of one
thousand trained teachers for the
primary schools. In addition to these
there are a number of teachers in the
employ of the various municipalities.
Professor Moses pointed out that the
work undertaken by the Government

struction was new to Americans. and

the course pursued by other nations in
carrying out their colonial policies.

COLLINS ASKS FOR
AN INVESTIGATED
Forwards Letter to President of Bar
Association Branding Charges
Against Him NIaIiciousIy False.

Association Branding Charges
Against Him MaIiciousIy False.
AS the result Of the charges made
against Attorney George D. Collins by
Attorneys Thomas F. Barry and George
f. Clough, Collins has addressed a let
ter to w. S. Goodfellow, president of
the San Francisco Bar Association
asking that the matter be referred to
the grievance committee for investi-
cation.
In his letter Collins says the charge
is willfully, maliciously and viciously
false and was known to be false and
untrue by the persons who made it.
He declares that at no time and in
no manner, either verbally or in writ
ing, did the defendant consult or in
terview him or did he advise the de-
PENDANT in reference to the claim. The
allegation of his accusers that the
promissory note in the case is fcti-
tious or fraudulent, Collins says, is alb
solutely false. In closing, he asks the
Bar Association to take notice of these
outrageous and willfully false accusa-
tions of my opponents and investigate
them.
Collins is accused by Barry and
Clough of having appeared as counsel
for both plaintiff and defendant in the
action Of the Hibernia Savings and
Loan Society VS.. Charles H. Robinson
Collins made sensational charges sew
eral days ago of incompetence and bias
against Superior Judge kerrigan, who
decided the case. and will endeavor to
have the jurist removed from the bench
by filing charges with Governor Pardee.
