SCHOOLS IN PHILIPPINES.

The bureau Of insular affairs has
Just completed the selection Of over
one hundred American teachers fo- ser
vice in the Philippine Islands. These
young men and women come from III.
hest universities. colleges and normal
schools in almost every section OF the
United States and were selected from
larger eligible list Of candidates than
ever before applied for positions with
the insular brarch Of the government
service.
More than eleven years Of our edu
cational experiment there has demon
strated to those who have investigated
the subject that. as a noted educator
on his return from the orient said.
"the achievements OF the bureau Of
education in the Philippines make as
bright and inspiring a chapter Of his
tory as was ever written" and that our
insular service offers an excellent op-
portunity for honest energetic and well
educated young men to render a most
conspicuous service for the government
and for themselves.
Students and travellers in the orient
in recent years have returned TO the
United States with the report that the
East is to be the center of the greatest
governmental activities of the TWEEN
tieth century ard our position in the
Philippines has made it possible for
those on the ground to get an insight
into these problems and take a very
active part in their solution insofar as
the participation by the UaiteJ States
government is concerned.
The development of the American
public school system in the Philippines
modified to meet loccl conditions has
been a most remarkable one during the
past ten years. yet the opportunity for
further growth Is very great. The or
sanization is still in its primitive period
and these hundred young men and wo-
men who have Just sailed from San
Francisco TO add their training and ex-
perience TO the nine thousand Ameri-
can and Filipino teachers already on
the ground and familiar with the To-
cal situation. will result in a very ma
tcrial advance in the performance of

blanching the hair, so when the false

OF the reasons for this is that hair dye

many shades. So dyed hair frames

cost approximately $50,000. The water
will be brought from Upper Maukeag
lake, the summit of Maukeag hill. and
will supply the entire town.
The gift relieves the town from i'm
pending embarrassment The present
water system is out of date and has
been rapidly declining in efficiency for
several years The town, however. has
not felt that 1t could afford a new sys-

few years there has been much dis
satisfaction and complaint. 1t is un.

will begin at once,
Ivers w. Adams was born at Ash
burnham on May 20, 1888. son of
Walter and Sarah Whitney Adams.
Both the Adams and Whitney families
have been known in that town since
