DEMOCRATS HOLD RALLY
Judge James H. Blount Attacks
Philippine Conditions.
CONDEMNATION OF THE TARIFF
Special Attention Paid to Col.
Roosevelt and His Progressive
Party Leaders.
I'm twice as great as Washington;
I'm twice as great as Grant;
Because third terms they didn't get,
They needn't think l can't.


This four-line introduction to a bit of
yeHse all written with the same candid
spirit. and quoted by Judge James H.
Blount, IN the meeting of the Wilson and
Marshall Democratic Association last
night, served as a cocktail to a varied
menu of political viands. However, the
guests essayed all sorts Of political foods,
from tariff to trusts, but the piece de re-
sistance- was the third term bird; and
he must be. a tough one, to Withstand
the attacks made upon him.
Judge BIounts particular part in the
speechmaking was short and to the point
He had been judge in the Philippines,
and took about. five minutes to connect
Roosevelt, Perkins and the harvester

land, brought about by the harvester

hemp The association adopted set of
resolutions bearing on Philippine and
tariff matters, and sent them forward to
the Clapp campaign fund investigating
committee.
Condemns the Tariff.
Charles H. Turner, formerly a repre-
sentative in Congress from New York,
talked along the strain of Tariff Is
the Mother of the Trusts and worked
his hearers to the point of believing
everything he said about the Taft and
Roosevelt administrations. He rose to
his greatest powers. however. when he
paused in his argument to take a poke
at the Third Termer. The things he
called Col. Roosevelt were too numer
Gus to mention, but he dwelt at length
upon the fact that Roosevelt had re-
turned from Africa to uncover the lid
upon a bad state of affairs in the re-
publican party.
He argued that steel laborers are paid
less than they were in the days of the
Homestead riots.
View of Third Term Party.
Rice Hooe attacked the third term
party, and included President Taft in his
denunciation. T. H. Patterson also dis
cussed the third termer, saying:

White remarks that with the rapid in

Throughout the public school system
there are base ball organizations. This

together the high school teams of the

Show Results Of Change.


The effect OF Che athletic training is
manifesting itself on every hand. AL
ready the school children of the Philip
pines show the results of the change
which the possessions are undergoing.
The pupils stand BETTER sit better. run
better and walk better than they did
when American methods were intro
duced In 1903. The languor is going out
and giving place to ginger.
In the more retired. less civilized
provinces the primary boys have base
ball teams just like their bigger and
weather. brothers in the cities and
towns. They also have uniforms, con-
sisting of caps and shirts. For the
present trousers have not been sup
piled. but by exercising care In base
running. particularly in sliding, the
absence Of such adornments is not
missed.
Industrial education In the Philip
pines has developed by leaps and
bounds since the Americans took hold.
Manufactures Of all sorts. suitable to
the character of the country, have
been included in the curriculum, and
fine concrete and steel buildings. veri-
able factories, have replaced the nipa
hut schoolhouses Of old Spanish days.
The abundant and superior varieties Of
the manufacture of furniture the prin-
cipal and the favorite form of indus
trial education in the school.
There is nothing crude about the
work Of the boys. They turn out IL
brary. dining room. bedroom and draw
ing room suites of the most exquisite
workmanship. At the recent Manila
carnival exhibition the boys of the Ba-
color Trade School exhibited a seven
piece dining room suite of polished
hardwood, built in the most durable.
yet artistic style of workmanship,
which was sold at the exposition for
$3.50.
Pottery is also a developing industry
| among the trade school boys. Odd bits
and practical, durable household pot
terry are turned out by the schools. The
manufa cture of hats is also taught and
the effect Of the instruction Of hat
making in the trade schools is already
reflected in the insular export statis-
ties The number of hats exported
from the Philippines in 1910 was 621,-
Ats. Last years figures We're 1,O25. J36.
The insular bureau of education will
not claim that this increase is wholly
due to the increased production by the
| school children, but at the same time 1t
points to the fact that as the school
product goes directly into the general
| trade of the islands the school activities
must be considered as contributing
factor.
| Basketmaking OF the finest character is
| also taught in the Philippine schools. On
| a months notice the primary schools OF
| the province Of AIbay can furnish 1000
salable baskets Of all kinds, sizes and de-
| signs

VIEWS OF FRANK R. WHITE
PRIDE IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY

Education of the Fflipinos as Filipinos,
with view to making them good Fill
pinos, is the practical view of the educa-
tional problem presented i'll the distant
insular possessions which is taken by
Frank r. White, director of education for
the insular government, who is visiting
the United States.
The process of making over the Fill
pino into an American citizen or an in
dependent citizen of an independent gov
eminent is not the subject of present
consideration of the bureau of insular
affairs of the War Department, which is.
at long range. the directing brain of the
cording to Director White and the Wash
ington officials of the bureau, is greatly
simpified by proceeding on the hypothesis
that the surest way and the shortest cut
to the advancement of the Philippines to
a point where their inhabitants will be
ready either for independence or for
eventual assimilation into the body of
the American nation is to make them
se1f-respeCting, self-supporting, whole
some, healthy, clean-minded and clean
bodied members of Philippine society as
it is today constituted.
1t is the belief of the officers of the
incular bureau and the insular govern
ment that. regardless of the partisan at
titude towards the Philippines. as evil
denced in party utterances or party plat
forms in the United States, the present
luty of the administration of the inlands
is the betterment of every condition of
the inhabitants and to let nature take
her course with the politics OF the prob
lem.
Today in the Philippines industrial and
scholastic education is proceeding hand
in hand. The present form of educational
administration took over the business of
instruction in the Philippines nine years
ago. At that date there were 1000 pri-
mary schools in the Philippines. There
were no intermediate and no secondary
schools Today there are 4.121 primary,
245 intermediate and 50 secondary
schools. In the nine years the enrolment
has grown from an approximation, based
on guesswOrk and partial figures. of $780,
600, to total enrolment for the fiscal
year 1910 of 610.493. with monthly
average enrolment for the whole year
of 4S4, $50.
