said:

Without question one Of the triumphs
Of America in the orient is the wonder
full work that has been accomplished there
by the public school system during the
ten years since its organization.
From a mere handful of pupils and an
expenditure of a few thousand dollars
in 1901 the system has developed until
now it reaches into every town and nearly
every village of the islands. and last year
instructed more than half a million boys
and girls, and the Philippine government
spent over three and a quarter million
dollars of local revenue for education.
Nine Thousand Teachers.
The services of over 1900 American and
Filipino teachers are employed in the
various schools Of the islands as super
visors and classroom teachers of the
academic and technical subjects Of the
courses of study.

ablest and most successful extension lee

Gators, but none which average higher
than this one. The reason. no doubt, is
that nowhere else could such a company

Run Into Shoal Tributaries.

The speedy power launch. Old Glory,
which has been obtained by the govern
ment officials for inspection service among
the oyster-dredging craft and other YES
sells employed in freighting on chesapeake
bay, is expected to sail from Baltimore
at any time on five-weeA cruise on the
bay and its tributaries 1t is asserted
that the oystermen who were violating
the marine laws by having shanghaied
men aboard their craft. or in not treating
their crews properly. have avoided in
spection in the past by slipping into shoal
water tributaries of the bay. when the
revenue cutter Apache, which formerly
did all the inspection work, started out
on a cruise. With the Old Glory in serv-
ice it will do them no good to attempt to
hide as the launch is of light draft and

this class of offenders. A. Lincoln Dry
den will be in command of the expedi-
ton, and he will have with him sufn-

by force, should this course be necessary.
The launch has just had a new engine
installed. and putting this in shape for
speed and good service, it Is stated, has
caused the delay in the Old Glory start
