Philippine archipelago. on
Oct Il, according TO the official timer
airy, the jackies who man the great
fighting machines will already have
seen more of the world than falls with
s in the experience of most men. How

tropical sun, the dwelling place of
100000 of half civilized beings, for
the most part STEPPED in ignorance and
broken into warning factions by dis
similarity Of language and customs.
A change has been wrought that is
a marvel to the world The hand of

& the demon of internal strife has been

now more persons in the Islands who

The Craze For Education.
The Eilipino's dcsire8sfor the new
education amounts to Il veritnble pas

officer In the Philippines The schools
are overcrowded by pupils who pre-
sent themselves voluntarily. Every
effort is being made to increase the

1t cannot fail to- be apparent to the
American visitors that sugar raising is
certain to become the agricultural fea-

in the known world presents better
conditions for the growing of this
great staple than the archipelago.
