for all the children that would like to
attend. We only have one high school
to each province and many of the sup
ervising districts only get up as high as
the fourth grade. This is one of the
leading provinces and has several inter-
mediate schools. ,..."
Each province has trade school or a
farm school. l think some of the boys
who attended here last year will go to
the farm school at Loo Banos. Four
out of the five girls who completed the
seventh grade will go to the normal at
Manila this year.
Industrial work is much emphasized
in the common schools. Nearly one
half Of the time in the intermediate
school is devoted to it. In the school
here it is the farming course.
Living is rather high as it costs about
$35 to S45 per month for board, room
and servants. Clothing though dosen't
cost so much. Ten suits will cost $40
and they will last about two year.
At present the thermometer is 81
above and it makes one feel decidedly
uncomfortable. We have showers ev-
cry few days and that cools things off
for time. Next month (June) the
rain will begin in earnest, then brid-
ges and roads will 90 out until one
needs an airship to get around.

Enough rain has fallen to assure the
farmers good yield this fall. During
the month Of June there were 2. Al inch
es of rain and during July .s9 inches.
The ground is moist to depth OF sew
eral feet. The only thing the farmers
need fear now is hail.
All crops are promising and we'll
above the average. The cool weather
since the first of July is good filling
weather.
Exceptionally large wheat and fax
crops will be harvested if conditions
remain as favorable as at the present
time.

him to do it. He worked hard at the
thing he wanted and let the rest 60.
What relative rank in class this system
of selection might bring him did not
interest him in the least. He practiced
the elective system in his own career
ten years before Princeton had much of
it in the curriculum.
'.Those who knew him we'll soon
learned what he was driving at. He
proposed to tstudy government and
write about it." He knew that nee
essary part of the preparation for it
would be the study Of law; but whether
he should find the best opportunity to
make himself writer on institutions
through the practice Of law, or through
public life, or through teaching, he did
not know. Of one thing he was sure.
if the practice of law did not give him
the opportunity to write about govern
ment, by the application of law he
would abandon it.
''He also knew that not only must he
be good writer, but good speaker
and debater, if he was to make public
affairs his career. Government is q
device of men, and human nature is
back of it and always present in its ap-
plication. He showed an early intoler-
ance for mere book knowledge; he
wanted to understand the workings of
men in the mass and Individually. This
science of government interested him
because it was intensely human, and be-
cause he was himself intensely human.
There never was bit of the prig or
s'dig" about him. He was a marked
man intellectually, but made no bones
about it. He knew every kind of man
in the class, and every kind of man
knew him, and most Of them liked him
unless they were stupid or insincere.
He was so tolerant of duplicity and i'm
patient with stupidity that those people
stayed out of his way.
"He gathered around him a coterie
of men who were interested in similar
questions, and they debated them Wig
orously. In the library hall he was al
ways ready for a debate, and in the
actual machinery of the government of
that often unruly body of two hundred
men he took the liveliest interest. A
society founded by James Madison in
his undergraduate days would naturally
furnish a fayorite forum of his mind.
One thing we soon found out-and that
was that, although Wilson was always
ready for debate, he would never argue
on side which he did not believe. And
so when the preliminary contest for the
greatest debating honor of the course
came-the Lynde debate and Wilson
drew the side of question in which he
did not believe. he Immediately with
drew from the competition.

Agents License Law

Much Misunderstanding and mlsln-
formation is current regarding the
statutory provisions in our law relating
to agents licenses. In one quarter the
impression prevails that officers of a
domestic insurance company may solicit
applications for insurance and issue
policies by mere virtue of their official
relations with such company.
This is not true. No special privilege
or exemption doth hedge about the
officers of insurance companies. In
their official capacity their duties are
administrative or clerical, as the case
may be; but soliciting insurance and is
suing policies is an entirely different
function, over which. the state very
properly has supervision. Section 4508,
Revised Codes of 1905, provides that
''Whoever solicits insurance on behalf
of any insurance corporation or person
desiring insurance of any kind, or
transmits an application for policy Of
insurance, other than for himself, to or
from any such corporation, or who
makes any contract for insurance, or
collects any premium for insurance, or
in any manner aids or assists in doing
either, or transacting any business of
like nature for any insurance corpora
tion, or advertising to do such thing,
shall be held to be an agent of such
corporation to all intents and purposes.
And agents must have licenses. In
this connection an opinion recently
rendered by the Attorney Generals
department is submitted:
Bismarck, June S, 1912.
Hon. w. c. Taylor,
Commissioner of Insurance,
Bismarck, North Dakota.
Dear Sir: You have asked if an Of
ficer of an insurance corporation may
solicit insurance in behalf of the COM
pany of which he is an officer without
an agents license.
1t seems to me that the language Of
Section 4509, Revised Codes of 1905,
clearly indicates that every officer,
broker, agent, or sub-agent. Of any in-
insurance corporations of any
kind, except county mutual in
surance corporations of this state, must
procure certificate Of authority from
the commissioner of insurance before
he can act or aid in any manner in
transacting the business Of such cor
poration in placing risks or effecting
insurance therein.
therefore believe it is as necessary
for an officer to hold an agents license
IL he intends to solicit insurance for his
corporation as for an employed agent
Of the company to have such license.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) C.. L. Young
Assistant Attorney General.
The above opinion bears heavily upon
another phase Of the matter. Another
Of bank, let Us say, receives authority
to act as agent for company writing
fire insurance or hail insurance or both.
The license is then treated as If il
blanketed everyone connected with the
bank, whereas, it confers authority ex-
clusively upon the individual to whom
it is issued. The agent cannot delegate
authority to others to represent him.
Section 45O9 provides that no agent Or
sub-agent of any insurance corporation
Of any kind, except county mutalals
shall act or aid in any manner in trans
acting the business Of or with such
k ak ~

YANKEES WEAR THE GREEN
Wolverton Gives His Players an
Enjoyable Auto Tour.
tBy Telegraph to The Tribune

Atlanta, March n.-There Is Irish blood
in the arteries of Harry Wolverton, Of the
Yankees, and to-day he treated his players
to a st. Patrick's Day tour around the city
in automobiles. Green necktes were plen-
tiful. and the weather was fttlngly perfect.
Perhaps the ride was an appreciation
shown by the manager OF the spirit and
zeal displayed by his men In making the
most OF prevalent bad weather conditions
here.
There is an understanding between play
ers and manager in the Yankee ranks and
among the players which is not noticeable
in every hall club, and in the promotion or
which the personality and ability OF the
manager count not little Wolverton has
shown himself to be resourceful and ap-
parently thorough. In view OF the bad
weather, the team has been fortunate, for
there has not been a day on which there
was not some sort OF work, even II little
more than exercise. Until the last hard
rain the players practised under the grand
stand when It was raining, and when the
regular field was flooded another was
found, and at the same time the weather
cleared. The toning up they had received
made the players pretty spry when they
were able TO let themselves out during the
last two days,
Cree and Wolverton have not come 10
terms on the salary question, but they had
talk last night, and progress toward the
desired end Is being made.

state that such a formal notification OF
nation TO compete for the cup must De
made. In the past, however, II has peeh
the custom to accept late challenges pro-
yided there was not a protest or any klhd
from the nations interested In the matches'
In order TO facilitate matters the draw

There has been no secret for some
months as 10 the probability OF france
