CASH FOR FLOOD VICTIMS
American Red Cross Sends
$500 for Relief of Wells
burg, W. Va, Sufferers.

The American Red Cross Society has
dispatched $500 to- Wellsburg. w. Va. for
the relief of sufferers there on account
of the recent floods around that place.
James f. jackson of Cleveland, Ohio, a
Red Cross agent, was ordered there to
take charge Of the relief work.
Reports received here are brief, but it is
shown that the flooding of the collieries
there, together with the destruction, has
thrown a lot Of people out of work. and.
in some instances. the floods have wreck
ed their homes. Mr.. Jackson will soon be
on the scene. and will Immediately advise
the Red Cross here as to the needs Of the
little town.

Nearby Towns Give Aid.

The first reports, while indicating the
seriousness of the situation, point out.
however. that the nearby towns are re-
spending nobly with supplies. The local
authorities are taking care Of sanitation.
and the Red Cross at this time is asked
only to take charge of the relief work
and see that the relief is properly dis
tributed.
If. after Mr. Jackson's investigation, it
is found that more funds are needed, It
is probable that they will be sent with
out appealing to the country. However
the Governor of West Virginia. as presi-
dent of the Red Cross state board. has
already issued an appeal to the people Of
the state to aid these sufferers.

Girls Make Own Clothes.

The first thing a Filipino girl does in
the sewing class in school is to make for
herself a complete outfit of clothing. This
work she usually begins in the second
grade but sometimes in the first or third.
Armed with an embroidery frame and
other apparatus Gin most cases made by
the boys In the same school. she ad-
vances in proficiency through the various
ton squares. fine linen, handkerchiefs,
waists and so on. The more expert girls
turn out masterpieces in French net and
embroidery. In lace they make all
varieties of pillow lace" including
"torchon" Spanish lace), Maltese, Ceylon
or Indian Irish crochet, etc. Battenberg
also is made for local use. but it is not
encouraged for export, because the Jap
anese can make it more cheaply.
An idea of the extent of industrial edu-
cation in the Philippines may be gained
from the fact that nearly 100000 school
pupils are engaged in some kind of in
dustrial work For the past four years
industrial instruction has been prescribed
in the primary course for both boys and
girls, and the work is systematically car
ried on in an advanced stage in the In
termediate schools.
Twenty-six well equipped trade schools
have been established in Manila and the
various provinces: there iS a college of
agriculture at Los Banos, and college
OF engineering has been added to the
pinos take to the educational program,
industrial and otherwise, quickly and

to compete with them successfully In the
worlds markets.
The whole system of education In the
Philippines is based on the principle that
the children should receive training that
will prepare them directly for the life
they are to live. The boys receive man.
ual training from the very beginning. In
the lowest grades they make articles that
they can use and sell, both in their own
localities and elsewhere. The most i'm
portant industry taught the boys is hat
weaving. 1t is a prescribed exercise in
the primary schools.
The bureau OF education at Manila
considers IL one OF it's legitimate func-
tions to give such training in the making
of good hats as will afford a large num-
Der of children a permanent means OF
earning a livelihood" wrote Frank X.
White. director of Philippine education,
in 1910 after the courses had been intro
duced. and the development of the work
has more than justified his claim. Chief
among the products are the famous
.buntal'' hats, made from the leaf stem
of the opened buri leaf.
Manual Labor Prescribed.
The schools do not attempt to replace
hand machinery with modern apparatus.
for 1t is recognized that there is real
demand for the products OF careful hand
Workmanship Besides the prescribed
courses in the primary schools, there are
regular trade schools. where the boys
spend the greater part of the school day
in actual manual labor in the shops. A
set of dining room furniture in red mar
ra. made at the Philippine School of Arts
and Trades in Manila. sold for 500 at
last years carnival.
In the girls schools plain sewing and
housekeeping have generally formed the
prescribed curses. but recently lace
making and embroidery have been intro
duced because they are arts which, be-
sides possessing educational value, fur
nish the girls with remunerative occu-
patton. There were already in the Philip
pines young women who had learned en-
broidery and lace-making in the con-
vents under the Spanish regime. Further

aptitude for such work and because OF

VALUABLE ARE LOST IN WRECK Justice Mcclellan Has Trunk Containing Records
 Destroyed

Montgomery, october 3.-(Speciai.) )-The loss of number of records and valuable court papers sustained by Associate Jus tice Thomas q, Mcclellan of the supreme court in the Louisville and Nashville wreck this week near Athens will prob ably occasion considerable delay in the final determination of certain cases pend ing before that court.
 Judge Mcclellan has informed friend in Montgomery that he lost his trunk in the wreck, and that this trunk contained a number of court papers. It is probable that some of the records, which Judge Mcclellan had with him, were among tine papers destroyed.
 The loss of the records will entail con siderable delay in the cases covered by the papers. It will be necessary to have new records made, and this will involve much time and expense, while at the same time Judge Mcclellan will find II necessary to write Inew opinions in the cases
 Judge Mcclellan was not hurt in the wreck, and save for the loss of his ward robe and the mental anguish through which he passed, is believed to have suf. fered no III results from the accident He will return to Montgomery within the next day or two, preparatory to the opening of the November term of the SUI preme court, which will convene on No. yember II.

 Complaints among iron. steel and lum- her companies of the north Alabama dis trict are being made to the railroad com panies, but nothing can be done. The cars are in the west and they cannot be brought back until their work there is done.
