AGAIN
NORMAL GRADUATE BACK
FROM PHILIPPINES.
c. B. Collins Has Taught the
Little Brown Men for
Three Years.-He
Likes Them.

v. b. COli1nS, graduate with the
class of 1900 of the State Normal
school, is in the city visiting his
brother, Roy Collins. Mr.. Collins has
just returned from the Philippine
Islands, where he has been teaching
for the past three years. After
graduating from the Normal he
taught one year at Lucerne and then
went to teach the heathens. Mrs.
Collins is now visiting relatives in
the southern part of the state, and it
depends somewhat upon her health
whether or not they return to the
islands, as Mr.. Collins is simply away
on leave of absence and still holds
his position.
Mr.. Collins has lived long enough
in the islands so that nothing there
looks peculiar to him any more, so
when asked to tell something inter-
esting about our eastern possessions
he thought the question and answer
method would be the best way for
the reporter to learn what ne
wanted.
AS schools are Mr.. Collins partic-
ular hobby the conversation drifted
on to this subject. He says the Fill
ipinos learn very readily until they
reach about the age Of IA. Then
there is seeming halt and it is
hard to do anything with them until
they reach the age Of 20 or 81. But
altogether they remind one very
much OF children in their manners
and habits. There is still occasion
ally an older Filipino who goes
strutting about calling himself gen.
eral OF the insurgent army and breeds
some trouble, but this class is rapidly
being weeded out and as whole the
natives seem to be we'll satisfied with
the kind Of government given them
by the United States.
The school system is kept up by
methods not so far different from the
school system OF a state. The head
of the educational department is To-
Gated at Manila, where a general
perintendent resides Then there
are districts, usually colresp ponding
to the provinces in the matter Of
boundaries. Each district has its
superintendent, who is under the
general supervision of the superin-
tendent in Manila. Under the dis
trict uperintendents the teachers
OF each school work. The expenses
of the school system are provided for
by system of taxation by the in
sular government.
That the Filipino is taking to
education is evidenced by the numer-
Gus calls for teachers in the country
districts-a call that can not always
be supplied by the educational de-
partment for want of teachers. Mr..
Collins thinks the islands good
opening for teachers, as only in very
rare instances is teacher paid less
than $1,000 year, and salaries run
from that figure to $1,000.
