SEPARATE SCHOOL
| DISTRICTS CANNOT
SHARE SPECIAL TAX
Daily News Special.


jackson, Miss, October 24.-Re-
garding the separate school district
question the attorney general says
rural separate districts must be es-
tablished by the county school board.
Such districts should presumably be
established at the annual meeting nf
the board prior to the first Monday in
August. He does not undertake TO
say that they may yet be established
after that time, but if they should be,
the attorney general thinks the board
of supervisors has no authority to levy
a special tax as provided in the code,
at meeting held after the September
meeting, for the purpose OF extend
ing the school terms and maintaining
schools In the newly created separate
districts. Mr.. Fletcher cites severa.
decisions which seem to confirm this
view. He thinks also that money
raised by special tax could not be ap
propriated to the separate districts
He therefore strongly advises the
board of supervisors that it cannot
devote any of the special school ta'
funds to the maintenance of the
schools in the separate districts of the
county.

Associated Press.

Mohonk Lake, N. Y, OctobT "a
A novel address at the Lake rohonk
conference today was deliveied by
Vincent Albert, native Filipino.
Mr.. Albert discussed "The Making
of Nation and among other things
said:
OBVIOUSLY enough, the present
INK of the desirability of selling the
Philippines and the futiIty of at
tempting to educate the Filipinos in
self-government was brought about
as a result of the election to the first
Filipino assembly. The election
seems to have led the great majpr-
ity of the American people to believe
that after nine years of American
rule there is still in the islands a
generaland deep-seated unrest and
disloyalty on the part of the Filipinds.
1t has been said that the success pf
the Nationalists, whose platform
calls. for early independence, shaws
in itself, the general sentiment Of
the people, in other words its dis
satisfaction with the existing govern.
ment. Being a Filipino, and con-
vinced as | am that such condition
does not exist they most emphati-
cally sdeny the truth of this deduc.
ton. A brief and partial view OF
political events in the islands will
demonstrate, beyond any question
that the result of the elections is in
dicate of a better understanding and
an ever-increasing harmony between
the American government and the
Filipino people.
Those who honestly believe thai
the creation of native assembly was
a step taken hurriedly and calculated
to retard the establishment OF re
public in the Orient, should not for
get these two facts: That the Fill
pinos are governed without their con
sent, nay, against their will; am
that the greatness of the American
nation is due principally to the dem
ocratic principles that influence tn
conduct of their statesmen.
BE the positive results brough
about by the assembly in the is
lands what they may, by inaugural
ing it the American government ha
succeeded in winning over grea
number who formerly made strong OF
position and SUSPECTED the cincerit
of Americas intentions, for the elet
tion of a racial majority can have n
other significance than their Willing
ness to cooperate with the islam
| government in promoting the pro-
perity and happiness of the inhab
tants of the Filipinos.
1T may be argued as against thi
view, that the mere acceptance of a
office under American sovereignt
does not necessarily prove that thel
will be an end to disloyalty and o
position to the established COVER
ment. Besides the argument thi
can be drawn from the fact that IL
radicals have become the conserv
tives and faithful supporters of tt
American government when takir
Office there under as in the case

facts may also be advanced in answ
to such objection. First, before a

that he was intoxicated with the ex-

The cultivation of the Sisal plant in

the four years since it was introduced
by Governor shea that it is pushing
the sponge industry very hard.
A writer in the Rosary Magazine
predicts that the full development of
the fibre plant will make a wonderful
position for the little island in the COM
mercial world.
The sisal plant has always grown
wild on the islands. and has been

posts. ~ il WAS almost impossibIe for
tho native farmers to eradicate il from
til" soil. its hardy bayoncts appearing
III the midst Of every crop and refusing

Governor Ambrose Shea discovered
that tho fibre of the leaves when
stripped Of the outer GOV cring of green
was the firmest and vhitest of rope

and no climatic effects influence the
growth of the plant in the least.
All the available land in the island

since nc siaal boom, and the g ,yern-
ment has already received a fund Of
