PHILIPPINE FACTS.

T YER since we acquired the Phil
II ippines we have been discussing
the problems involved in our new re-
lations. and unquestionably a vast deal
of error has marked most Of our dis
cussions. But now comes something
authoritative-the census of the is
lands.
Since this was taken by a host of
enumerators. most Of them natives,
and the figures and conclusions have
been derived from the whole, we have
comparatively accurate compilation
and one that is colorless. SO at last
we have something official about these
new colonies that all can believe.
First we notice that there are T.
1926 inhabitants. OF these the peo-
pie Of the savage tribes constitute
about nine per cent. much smaller
proportion than Americans generally
have supposed. Doubtless this proper
sion has been calculated. as savage
tribes are not inviting TO the census
enumerator. But the census otherwise
is probably fairly accurate.
Nearly all Of the Inhabitants who
arc classed as civilized are put down
as members Of tho Roman Catholic
Church. while the Mohammedans ar,

EDITORIAL OPINION
A setbaek for sehooI Fads.

From the Chicago journal.
The New York School Boand with one
stroke has wiped out all fads in the
elementary grades and reduced the
hours of instruction IN the Lowest rri-
mary grades from FIVE to three and ONE
half hours a day.
The Board has decided to return 20
tho old-fashioned essentials and to cut
OUT all the fiils
The radical mature Of this move may
be understood whom It Is known that
the different fads have been added one
by one. throuEh a long series OF years.
The school experts were stunned by
the vote and declared 90 q backward
step. They would stiH 10 permitted.
devote one hour to essentials. and three
or four hours a day to drawing music,
hygiene, ana AN the other fads.
But the New York School Trustees
have wakened mp. They have decided
on nominal sanity ia the instruction Of
very young children. They are hotero-
doN enough TO believe that young
pupils should he taught 10 read and
write aud SPELL
We win await the mnral effect Of New
York's action on other School Boards.
Perhaps there win not be amy. but we
incline to the view that snoh q whole
some exnmple win not go unheedcd.
In the Chicago schools IL is notorious
shat the lower grades are so overcrowd-
lea that ln some instances halliday in-
stmctions is the rule This would not
be so bad IL the half-day were devoted
TO essentials
To waste the limited time Of primary
pupils in fads Is TO do those strugglefa
for education a grevous wrong.

EDUCATIONAL INoulsIToRs.

THE minute Information which the
Il teachers are required to secure
regarding their pupils really suggests
detective ability Of no mean order. We
venture 10 state that to mn up one Of
the blanks with accurate information
would require weeks OF effort on the
part Of a good detective.
This Inquiry extends beyond the
child. back into the home. and there
it records the habits Of the parents and
Of the other children. To nh out these
blanks conscientiously requires the
combined talents Of census enumeru-
tor and a plain clothes man.
And when gotten together how vail
liable is it2 The answer is that the
teacher will know about the childs en-
vironment. hereditary tendencies and
controlling influences. But is the
teacher supposed 20. Keep all this vast

But. seriously. isn't this sort of in

act, guesswork, hearsay, dangerous
stun TO write down and keep aroundi
Just such Information as this the wise
man keeps to himself and we think
The teacher should do the same. OF
course every good teacher will seek &c
understand her pupils individually
and IN making up her estimate will
consider what she can learn by proper
methods about the home life Of each
but It strikes as as dangerous business
to compile for the perusai of anybody
rumors concerning the home life anc
the habits Of the parents. Somebody
might be required to substantiate these
statements in court some day.
The Evening Journal is a friend o.
the public Nchoois and believes that the
present management is very efficient
and IN the main should be sustained
For this reason we think we have
right to criticise.

ARr EoR ARTS SAKE.

over in New York the art critics
~ are greatly perplexed over a
piece of statuary. Is 1t the work of an
old Greek master or OF some contem-
poraneous artist in silk hat and trous-
ers?
They have agreed that It is the high
est art, that 1t shows the Divine touch
which almost marks II as Praxitelean
in orlgin-but they are not certain
Until the question is decided the dis
position Of the statute remains unde-
termined. II 1t is Greek Il win go into
the private collection Of some pork
packer artistically inclined. II It Is
modern Mr.. Dugan will probably pur-
chase 1t as a striking piece to go be-
hind the bar, and the artist will get
a lesson in the modern appreciation of
art FOR arts sake, and not for the sake
of its antiquity.
About twenty years ago young
man out in Indiana wrote poem
which he attributed to Edgar Allen
Poe. All the leading periodicals cop
led it and pointed out its infinite art
But when they learned that an obscure
young man named Jim Riley had been
playing a joke on them they suddenly
decided that It wasn't even good i'm

But to return to art. isn't 1t strange
that no fragment that dates back tc

Theatrical Notes

"Nobody's Darling" which opens q
three days engagement at the Lyceum
this afternoon and evening. is by Hal
Reid and the production by sullivan,
Harris & Woods. has jumped at once
into popular favor. Scenically Il Is
one of the most elaborate productions
of the present season. The cast Is
excellent and all in all Is an attrac-
ton well worthy the patronage of the
theatre-going public.
The announcement that "a Guilty
Conscience" which will be seen at the
Lyceum on Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday OF next week will be re-
ceved as good news by the local the
.atregoers. The play is said to have
met with almost instant favor IN all
cities where It has been seen, and the
success Of the production has caused
no little comment in theatrical circles.
The bill at the Garrick this week is
one which can hardly fail to commend
Itself to most every patron of high
class vaudeville. There is a mixture
of comedy and novelty that is partlcu-
larly entertaining. Colby and Way,
the clever ventriloquist and the dane
ing doll; Fitzgerald, in his one-man
melodrama. bit of work that is es-
pecially good; Sig. DeBovier in the
grand opera number Of "Otello;" Mr..
and Mrs. Alfred Kelsey In their pa
thetlc comedy number IN Trust" and
Charlie Hooker and Mabel Davis. i'm
their eccentric dancing; all so to make
up a bill that is entirely in keeping
with the reputation which the Garrick
has long enjoyed for high-class en-
teYtainment.
