of science at Manila. l learn that these people are rapidly improving. They are beginning to send their children to school, and hundreds of little Igorrote boys, clad in nothing but cap, jacket and a string around the waist, may be seen trudging along with books in their arms.
 Savages Who Are Worth S350
 The same is true of the Ifugaos, an- other agricultural people. The Tfugaos have rice fields which are faced with stone walls. The walls are built to hold back the earth and in some places they are 40 feet high. These terraces rise up the hills like gigantic stairways, running hundreds and sometimes thousands of feet over the rivers where they begin. In each little terrace rice grows, and the land is so valuable that the people are among the richest semi-savages of the world.
 Their wealth is said to be about 45, 900, ,oo0 American dollars or s350 per capita.
 The Ifugaos have their own religion and their own priests. They think the world is divided into six religions. all of which are inhabited by both spirits and human beings At first they were much afraid ot the Americans and looked upon them as magicans. One time a party of them came to Manila and Dean Worcester gave each of them a piece of ice and told them that in America water became like that in winter The men handled the ice, and one said he was going to take his piece home and show it to his fellows. He there upon thrust it into his waistband. Very quickly thereafter he was seen to sneak 1t out again. and look anxiously down at his now moistened clothing.
 How Uncle Sam Works
 In all of the region known as the moun- tain province head hunting has been prac- tically suppressed. Hundreds of miles of ! I.,,ilt government exchanges have been estah- lished to supply the people with goods at reasonable prices Uncle Sam is also try ing to create a market for the products of these people. He has brought peace to them, and is introducing various indus tries. Some of the Igoryotes and otlier tribes weave beautiful mats. which com mand ready price in the market. They also do carving.
 These new roads are bringing the people together. They are trading with one an other, and are in fact entering upon new life. They Ike our government stores, where the sales are made at Manila prices plus 20 per cent and the cost of transpor- tation, and they bring their basket work. wood carving, weapons and curious dresses to the exchanges. where they are bought for cash as curios. So far the ex- changes have been operated by the lieu tenant governors, put IL IS pelieNeu III tiHte that there will be men appointed by the government to study the local needs and to bring in the goods to supply them.
 Moving Pictures for the Savages
 The government is establishing schools and is doing what it can to teach the grown ups One of it's methods is by the stereopticon lecture. The officers show moving pictures and other lantern slides by which they teach sanitation, agricui- ture and industries of various kinds. One picture will be village in wild state, and another the same village cleaned ol dirt. One will show a hut which is shap- by and poor. and another a hut of the same size well made. One picture will De that of head hunter when he was wild The next presents him in citizens clothing and a third is an officer of the police force. The people like these pictures and they are doing considerable good.
 The tribal lines are fast disappearing
