They include q study Of the conditions
Of the Philippine people, their educa-
tional lacks under Spanish rule and the
educational aims of the United States
government. More than q hundred men
were assigned to this work last year at
salaries OF from $500 to 100 and pos
sible promotions from $1,000 to $500.
These young men and others who will be
called into service will have In their
charge the supervision Of 1000 schools
taught by 800 Filipino teachers.
It is always more or less difficult to
obtain competent men as heads OF depart
ments and as presidents OF colleges. 1t
is not unusual for Q board OF college
trustees to be a full year In filling q va
cancy. The new University Of Oregon.
which had the distinction OF opening this
year with an equipment valued at $780,
600. had great difficulty in obtaining its
full STAFF Of instructors. A special COM
mittee gave months to visiting other in
situations and gaining knowledge OF the
qualifications Of the candidates. In this
connection 1t may be added that little at
tention was paid to applications re-
ceived. 1t was q case OF the ofi1ce seek
ing the man. Those in charge were
educated only by the desire to secure the
best all-round qualification for every in
structor. Since this new university has
followed the highest ideals and the latest
developed theories In It's equipment much
interest 10 felt In its results. The first
class will graduate in 1915.

Time was when there was but three
professions medicine and theology.
The universities turned out lawyers.
clergymen and physicians. and men
whose lives were to be devoted to any
other work were not considered to be
worthy objects Of higher education. Law
was taught to students Of law by lawyers;
theology was taught to students Of the
ology by doctors of divinity, and medicine
was taught to medical students by ply
sicians. 1t was not deemed necessary for
teachers to be, above all things else,
teachers.
All that has changed. The change
came with the era Of specialization, and.
largely ON account Of its more liquid
constitution, has been most heartily vel
coined by the American university.
The spirit Of the American university
has said that in this unitarian age edu-
cation must be of practical value. While
general culture is not overlooked, new
courses of training are being developed

enough. but there are too few highly
1t sounds like paradox, but it Is true
that the profession of teaching is the

Coat From Skins of Coons

Fulton Correspondence St. Louis Globe
 Democrat.
 J. L. Sappington of Centralia will be protected from the cold this winter by a coonskin overcoat made from hides of coons which he caught with his famous coon dog Buck.
 The coat, which Sappington was wear ing, was made from the skins of 30 of the 132 of the ringtailed species which he and his canine have captured in the last three years. Sappington sent the skins to furrier with instructions to use only the best part of the hides. The con- sequence Is his coat is the best and finest that can be made and differs from the coonskin garments of this kind usually seen.
 Three years ago Sappington bagged 52 coons. Two years ago he captured 4S; last year out IS, and so far this year he has captured 16

COMPLETE REPORT SHOWING
 STATES FINANCIAL STANDING

Montgomery. October 12.-(Special) Chief Examiner of Public Accounts c, E. Mccall today submitted to Govern or O'Neal statement as shown by the books of the auditor and treasurer of receipts disbursements and out standing warrants of the state. The report of the examiner Is the most complete that has been made of the financial condition of the state, and shows just how the treasury stood at the close of the last fiscal year. and gives a brief forecast of what the sit uation will be at the close of the pres ent fiscal year.
 According to the examiners state ment on September 30, last. there was an excess of outstanding claims over balance in the treasury of s262 9S9 Ss. On September 30. 1911. this excess of claims over balance in the treasury was S71.374. TT. In his report, Examiner Me- Call gives brief statement of the eX- cess of disbursements over receipts for the past six fiscal years. beginning with 1907. when the excess was s65S9.2s.
 The following year the report shows that the excess was $45s,903 IS, and that the excess was about s2oo,0oo more for thes ucceeding year. Examiner Mc- Call states in his report that assess ments on all property for taxes which have been returned to the auditor show an increase of valuation of approxi- mately s24,5Oo,000, which will bring about an increase in tax receipts of approximately $153,5oo for the present year. Reckoning on this basis, the examiner declares that if expenditures are the same as last year, with the ad- ditional allowance of appropriations for ss5,000 for schools and s27,S00 for pen sions. the excess of disbursements over receipts will be approximately s1Ss,- 765, considerably less than the excess of disbursements over receipts or last year.
 The letter of Judge c. F. Mccall is:
 "Complying with your instructions I am handing you herewith state ment as shown by the books of the state treasurer and state auditor of the receipts. disbursements and outstand- ing warrants

 A Southside young man who has rep utation for wearing the sportiest clothes to be obtained, recently decided to give one of his very light suits to the colored house man. The young man took the suit from his room and went down into the yard, where the servant, who is espe- cially black, was working.
 Look herel' he said. I've got fine suit here which I would like to see you wear"
 The colored fellow took one look at the suit and exclaimed:

Airmen Take Oxygen

From the Chicago Tribune.
 Injecting pure oxygen gas into the blood of airmen and mountain climbers as an auxiliary supply to that inhaled in to the lungs, Is a remarkable means pro- posed for the prevention of the so-called mountain sickness, which is due to the rarity of air at the high attitudes. The preventive treatment. which was described together with the experiments confirm ing its efficiency at the recent session at the French Academy of Sciences. consists simply in the subcutaneous injection of pure oxygen gas, the effect of which is claimed to persist for several days.

of desperate characters, among them
several murderers, with her father
lying bruised and unconscious as
result of their effort to escape, Mrs.
]. D. Collier, of Dawson, daughter of
Jailer Slade, Of Terrell county, with
rare presence Of mind and courage,
beat the prisoners to ii in their wild
race for liberty, aroused the neighbor-
hood and succeeded in preventing a
wholesale jail delivery after running
fight with citizens, in which one pris-
oner was killed and a number OF peo-
pie injured.
Mrs. Collier, who lives with her ia
Their and mother in their home ad-
Joining the Jail, heard the groans Of
her father after he had been over
powered by his prisoners and bruised
and beaten and robbed Of his keys.
Realizing instantly what had occurred,
Mrs. Collier, still in her night clothes,
fed to the street and sped from house
TO house, arOusing all. the men WITHIN
sound Of her voice.
So quickly did she act that the pris-
oners. who had stopped on their way
to arm themselves with whatever
weapons fell under their hands. were
lust emerging from the Jail when Mrs
Collier, at the head Of a little handful
OF citizens, returned. The prisoners
had Just succeeded in unlocking all
the doors that barred their way 10
liberty, and were taking their first free
steps. when the revolvers began to
fash. Perkins, one of the leaders,
dropped with a bullet in his thigh.
Biscuit Dick another leader, made
his escape, carrying the keys of the
Jail with him. The other prisoners
