ing, lawyers in the Office of James Dom
ovan of New York, have been in town
this week interviewing persons about
the railroad wreck which occurred in
the rear of the Hooker building Oct. %,
when the "owl" train was "sideswiped,"
the engine and cars damaged, one
freight car thrown down the embank
ment almost init the river and another
thrown part way down the bank. Since
the accident the New York firm of at
torneys have entered 20 suits, according
to Mr.. Cohen, against the Boston &
Maine railroad for persons who claim to
have been injured. The lawyers have
talked with several persons in town who
went to the scene OF the accident di-
recly after 1t happened and who exam
ined the cars and rails and noted other
features of the wreck 1t Is probable
that some of those interviewed will go
to New York to testify when the dam
age suits are called in court and Mr..
Cohen will try to get dispositions from
others

their great natural aptitude for such
work, and because of their patience
and delicacy of execution, the Fill
pino women are considered among the
most skillful workers in the world in
these arts, their products being
classed by experts as even superior
u that Of the French and the Swiss.
The schools are therefore working Oh
sure ground in teaching lace-making
and embroidery, and they have as
&C rtained that the demand for the
KID of work their children can turn
out is practically unlimited. In an
effort TO increase the available sup
ply OF teachers for the work, courses
in lace-making and embroidery have
teen offered in the Philippine Normal
school since 1910, and also in the var.
ious vacation assemblies of teachers.
The first thing q Filipino girl does
in the sewing class in school is 10
make for herself a complete outfit OF
clothing This work she usually be-
gins in the second grade, BAT some
times in the first or third Armed
with an embroidery frame and other
apparatus Gin most cases made by the
boys in the same schooD she advances
in proficiency through the various
grades; hemming and embroidering
rotfor souares. fine linen. handker-
chiefs. waists and so on. The more
expert girls turn out masterpieces in
French net and embroidery. In lace
they make all varieties Of pillow
lace" including "torchon" Spanish
lace), Maltese, Ceylon or Indian.
lIish crochet, etc. Battenburg is also
made for local use, but it is not en-
couraged for export, because the jap
anese can make it more cheaply.
An idea of the extent of industrial
education in the Philippines may be
gained from the fact that nearly 400
600 school pupils are engaged in some
kind of industrial work. For the past
four years industrial instruction has
been prescribed in the primary course
fer both boys and girls, and the work
is Systematically carried on in an ad-

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION

ing OF good hats as will afford large
number of children a permanent
means of earning a livelihood" wrote
Frank r. White, director of Philip
pine education, in 1910. after the
courses had been introduced. and the
development of the work has more
than justified his claim. Chief among
the products are the famous "buntal'
hats, made from the leaf stem of the
opened burr leaf. The schools do not
attempt to replace hand machinery
with modern apparatus, for < is rec
ognized that there is q real demand
for the products Of careful handwork-
manship. Besides the prescribed
courses in the primary schools. there
are regular trade schools, where the
boys spend the greater part Of the
school day in actual manual labor in
the shops. A set Of dying room fur

Under the leadership OF American
educators, Philippine education is
making a remarkable advance In
deed, according TO recent reports re-
ceived at the United States bureau OF
education, there are features OF pes
ent-day education ia the Philippines
that are well worth the careful at
tention OF school leaders in the
United States.
II is in the field of industrial train
ing and useful arts that the Filipinos,
under American teachers, are max
ing the most notable progress: such
progress, in fact. that in certain lines
particularly lacemaking and en-
broidery-the products OF the Philip
pine schools not only compare favor
ably with the work OF the famous
French and Swiss experts, but prom
Use 70 compete with them success
fully in the worlds markets
The whole system Of education in
,he Philippines is based on the prin.
ciple that the children should receive
training that will prepare them d.
rcctly for the life they are to live.
The boys receive manual training
from the very beginning In the low
est grades they make articles that
they can use and sell, both in their
own localities and elsewhere The
most important industry taught the
boys is hat-weaving. II is a prescrib.
