How would you like to teach the
''young ideas" in the Philippines? There
is demand for 40 additional school
teachers in the islands. the Philippine
Commission having cabled to the Bu-
reau of Insular Affairs the urgent need
ipc
Teaching the Filipinos isn't such a.
bad lot, after all. it is pointed out, and
20 of these teachers are to draw $1,000

ferred. and it is necessary for them TO

The Navy Department has decided to
install wireless telegraph apparatus on
the torpedo boat Whipple. flagship of
the torpedo fleet, and the work will
shortly be started at the League Island
Navy Yard. This win be the first time
wireless telegraphy has been placed on
board destroyer 1t is not expected
that the apparatus will be placed on
other destroyers, because of the fact
that 1t will not be needed except on the
and also for the reason that all
these vessels cannot carry the largeI
masts.
The United States Army IS keeping
pace with other countries in the matter
of modern appliances OF warfare The
successful use Of wireless tclegraphy in !
the movement of battlcships caused the
officials Of the War Department to cast
about for wireless outfit which would |
be at once compact and portable and
which could be installed in the field in !
the shortest possible time. Experiments |
by the Signal Service within |
the past few months have resulted in |
the construction by the Government Of
a number Of outfits of that kind. and
they are now being distributed among
the various commands.
The high cost of wireless material |
abroad led the Government to make its |
own appliances at an immense saving |
but it is stated that they embody the |
principal elements of the latest i'm
provements of apparatus of this char |
actcr
Altho it is felt that these outfits ulti- |
mately will be vastly improved upon, !
they are already capable of doing the !
most efficient work. They are so con-
structed that they easily can be trans |
ported on the backs of three horses ori
mules, and may be set up in 20 minutes
They can transmit messages about 1OOl
miles. and a valuable feature of them |
is that they will not interfere with
each other In their operation. The
Coast Artillery Stations will be fitted |
up with the same outiitso from which |
