Educating the Filipinos

In the Philippine Islands 500 Ameri-
can and 6,ooo Filipino teachers are busy
educating nearly 10000 pupils of all
ages.
Mr. Scott, chief clerk of the Philip
pine Board of Education, said few
DAYS ago that 10 per cent of the popu-
lation OF the Philippines. nearly $4,000,
now speak English, and that the Filipino
boy until he reaches the age of nineteen
is mentally superior 10 the American of
the same age, but there his superiority
ends, and our educational system has not
existed long enough to enable us TO de-
termine his capacity during the second
period Of his mental development.
The Filipino boy is inferior physically
to the American boy at all stages, but
the girl OF the islands, according to Mr..
Scott. though of small physique in early
years, exceeds at the age OF sixteen the
stature OF the American girl, and is in
eomparably superior TO her native
brothers.
An the American teachers and 400 of
the Filipinos are paid BY the insular gov

FADS AND FANCIES.
By MINNA ScHArr CRAWFORD.

The returning throngs of designers
and dresspakers fresh from their sum
mer explorations through the smart shops
OF Paris and London have brought over
some very practical new ideas in semi
hitting short and long coats that will be
hailed as a welcome departure from the
tight-ftting styles of the past two years.
The return of the gored flare skirt.
which fits smoothly at hip and waist
and falls into voluminous folds at foot.
is also greeted with enthusiasm. The
circular skirt is very pretty in theory.
but its tendency TO drag and dip at the
sides makes it ungraceful. In the new
skirts this sagging tendency is corrected
by means of cores and plaits which give
the new skirt the effect of being en-
panelled. Its numerous seams enable
the dressmaker to utilize narrow ia
brics and secure the full effect of the
circular skirt without disfguring criss-
cross seams
Folds continue to be the favorite gar
niture for skirts. These may be cut to
the exact shape of the skirt or made of
bias material, and are usually lined with
crinoline. Great care must be exercised
to cut the crinoline on true bias, other
wise dampness will cause it to pulp
and spoil the shape of the folds.
