Upon the success or failure OF the Du-

problem which time alone , prove ade-

Public school teaching in the islands
began long before the. organization OF
the bureau of educati by The ciFlI gov

people were instructed in the three s
by soldiers. No sooner did troops estao-
lsh peace in d certain district than their
commanding officer would detail officers
and enlisted men as school teachers.
1t was no uncommon sight In the early
DAYS to see an armed soldier under a
mango tree surrounded by small Drown
urchins whose sole purpose in lie
seemed to be to stumble through the
English alphabet in a loud voice. In all

were strictly taboo and in Manila there
was the famous Santo Tomas University,

The system worked about as follows.
according to Tomas G.. del Rosario, q
member of the superior advisory board
of education of the islands In the last
years of Spanish rule, and during Amer
lean occupation Governor of Bataan
province and a member Of the Philippine
assembly:
The establishment of schools of pri-
mary instruction in the municipalities OF
the Philippine Islands and Of a normal
school in Manila for the education Of
schoolmasters of such schools was not
authorized until December 20, 1858. Be
fore that date public schools were hardly
known in the Philippines, and instruction
was confined solely to the children OF
parents able to pay for it. This should
not be surprising, since before the nine
teenth century education In Spain and
other parts OF Europe was limited to the
children of wealthy parents, and the
Philippines. as a Spanish colony, could
not have more advantages in this respect
| than the mother country. nor could It be
expected that Spain would evince more
interest in educating her colonists than
her own sons.

currency legislation if the rec

tariff, President Wilson has fol-
lowed the same plan of getting
the matter before Congress. He
has delivered his message per-
sonally. Just what the admin
istration plan is it seems difficult
to determine. The ''wise'uns"
don't seem to agree as to what is
really wanted. Some think the
President comes too close to ADD

while others think he is too far
off the Aldrich system to be right.
Guess we will have TO wait and

Divorce.

Freedom of divorce has not
gone far enough. The divorcee
instead of being ostracized and
regarded with suspicion should
be regarded as the savior of the
race.
Standards of marriage must be
raised so that the marriages of
imbeciles is a rarity. What should
be done is the establishment Of
a bureau of pedigrees, and then,
before persons undertake matri-
mony, they can see the records
of their families and tell wheth-
er a marriage would be a good or
a bad thing.
/ certainly believe we should
have more divorces, the church
and the ministry notwithstand-
ing. There should be the great
est freedom in the dissolution of
the marriage vows when the
grounds are legitimate. The
public should most certainly re-
verse it's position towards the
woman who seeks to free herself
from an alliance of this charac-
ter that will compel her to bring
unfit children into the world. -
