FILIPINO IGNORANCE. -

It is rather surprising to find in
the annual report Of Secretary OF
War Stimson bald, unqualified
statement regarding the "ignor-
ance'' Of the Filipinos. He char
acterizes the proposal to grant in
dependence to the Philippine
Islands as unjust to the great
masses Of the Filipino people, in
whose behalf the high sounding
slogan of liberty and 'indepen-'
dence' are shouted" and contin
ues: CATER having been for GEN.
turtles sunk in ignorance and held
in economic subsection, they are
now being aroused to self-support-
ing manhood and being welded
into national solidarity
One who occupies the important
position Of Secretary of War
ought to know better than to make
such an unwarranted assertion
about the Filipinos. It is utterly
false to say that they have been
for centuries "sunk in ignor-
ance." In this particular case the
statement is as inexcusable as it
is devoid Of foundation in fact.
Similar statements have been
made time and again by writer's
and speakers whose prejudice
against the Church would not per-
NIT them to see anything good in
the Catholic F'ilipinos; but in
every case the refutation was
speedily and convincingly made
by men, many of whom were nom
Catholics, who did not fear to
give the Catholic Church full
credit for the magnificent work
she has done in civilizing the Fill
pinos and bringing them to their
present high plane Of educational
development
Had Secretary of War Stimson
taken the trouble to investigate
the present status of education
among the Filipinos he would not
have allowed his report to be mar
red by statement which is as
unjust to them as it is unfounded.
Had he consulted his colleagues
in the official life of Washington
he would have received first hand
information on this point and
would not have been led into such
a blunder. There is no justifca-
ton for a man in his position not
securing the facts before publish
ing his report, especially when
the matter about which it deals
comes within the province of his
official duties.
In this connection and as a re
/ futation of Mr.. Stimson's asser-
ton it is interesting to read the
testimony of Mr.. William Atkin-
son Jones, of Virginia, the Chair
man Of the House Committee of
Insular Affairs, in regard to the
condition of education in the
Philippine Islands prior to the
American occupation. Not only
does it not bear out Secretary
Stimson's statement about the
Ignorance Of the Filipinos, but
/ it sheds food of light upon the
| development of the educational
/ system in the Philippine Islands

that it would be difficult to recommend
any one in particular. During the sea-
son of outdoor labor one mainly works
with his hands; but farmer who
works only with his hands and not
with his head also will soon find that
he is left behind by his more intelli-
gent neighbors. AS the improvement
of agriculture is of vast Importance
to the welfare of the whole county,
both the state and national govern
ments publish various pamphlets for
free distribution among farmers. These
official pamphlets are usually written
by authorities on the subjects treated
and deserve to be more widely read
than they are.
In every farmers family there
ought to be small library of books on
farm subjects. There are a number
of valuable books of this kind pub
lished, and for few dollars some of
the more useful ones can be procured.
Another matter Of useful occupation
for farmers during the long winter
evenings would be to meet at stated
times and discuss their various expert
ences on what to raise with the best
advantage, how and where to sell farm
products and the like.
IL our Catholic farmers would en-
ploy the leisure hours of the winter
season as indicated it would prove to
be very valuable time for them,
and, when spring and summer come
again, they would be both bodily and
mentally i'm good condition to perform
their labors successfully.

SAN FRANCISCO, June s.
1t Is an easy matter to keep per-
petually young.
All you have to do, girls, Is to
give heed to the advice OF Ma
dame A. Zucchi, who. although
admitting the age or GO, has re-
tanned her youthful charm and
defied the whitening touch of
time.
Madame Zucchi arrived here
from the Orient on the liner Man
churia recently. She is travelling
around the world and has moth
ing to do except to keep in good
spirits and be happy.
And Madame Zucchi had a bet
ter time during the voyage from
the Far East than most Of the
young girls.
There were dances and prom
enades, and none was more
sought after than Madame Zucchi.
She dances divinely, say the
young men, and there We're sew
eral near duels among her suit
ors, who objected to any one OBJ
tanning more than his share of
dances.
When Madame boarded the
steamer she wore a turban. When
she refused to discard the turban
the young men made book bet
ting on the possible color of the
locks beneath the headgear. The
wager was decided the day be-
fore the Manchuria arrived at
Honolulu, but as no one guessed
right the money was returned
and all bets were off.
Madame Zucchi's hair was
golden, the sort of gold that re-
fleets every CLINT Of sunshine In
a way that made half of the men
on board become poetic. The
dark eyes, lashes and rosy cheeks
threw the young men off the
track, that's why no one had
guessed right.
