Record Loss in Fees.
Referring to tho fees collected by his
Office, Mr.. Hacker states that they
amounted to $26,417.71, as compared with
$4,000 collected during the preceding
year. The expenses Of the Office last
year amounted to $34,664s5. It was the
first year this branch of the local gov
eminent has not been self-suporting.
Mr.. Hacker asserts that he would not
be in favor OF increasing the present
fees for permits, as they are generally
considered to be as high as may equitably
be demanded, and that it would be i'm
practicable to reduce the expenses Of the
Office and render in inspection value re-
ceived from fees. Besides, the building
inspector points out that he considers
1913 an off year, and believes that con-
ditions will improve SO that the Office
bay again become self-supporting.
Attached to Mr.. Hackers report are
reports of the civil engineers and COM
puters, the fire escape inspector. the
elevator inspectors and the several as
sistant building inspectors, which show
the details of work covered by the
Office. 1t is stated in the computers'
report that there has been an increase
in the number of cheap amusement
places Of large capacity. There was q
total of 482 elevators inspected DUR
ing the year. while twenty-eight ap-
plicants for elevator operator licenses
failed in examination.

INDICATES AN ADVANCE
IN HIGHER STANDARDS
Report on Progress of English
Teaching in the Filipino
Schools.

I The thirteenth annual report of the
I, director of education of the Philippines
y has Just reached the bureau of tnsular
!. Affairs at Washington and covers the
y activities of the bureau OF education
- for the year 1s12-13. The director re-
ports that q steady and encouraging
- advance is shown in the higher stand
ard of the instruction I'm English, In
the better school buildings and grounds
: becoming available. in the sounder
= basis on which industrial instruction
has been organized, in the further and
: marked Improvement in the American
and Filipino personnel connected with
the work of the bureau, in the notable
improvement In the efficiency of the
administrative side of the work and
--in the effectiveness with which the pro-
!. gram for the physical training of the
pupils enrolled in the public schools
e is becoming operative.
% Unable to Meet Demand.
c Owing to constantly increasing de-
r1and upon appropriations, the changed
conditions resulting from the contin-
Hally charging scope OF industrial in
struction. and the organization OF
higher Institutions of learning with no
corresponding increase in the total
s.amount OF money available, 1t has not
q been possible TO make provision for
such large enrolment of pupils as
heretofore. This, in the opinion of
the director. is the only feature Of the
work which does not show decided
progress during the past school year.
During the coming school year, how
ever. an allotment of sufficient money
has been made to permit opening 1000
80 new schools in which 1t is expected to
accommodate 100000 additional pupils
The percentage of school attendance
increased from SO to 81 per cent.
Force of Teachers Complimented.
With elimination of teachers whose
services have been unsatisfactory, the
director believes it would be difficult
20 find more efficient force. The
teachers from the United States have
been almost without exception of
splendid character and excellent prep
aration. The quality of the Filipino
teacher has kept pace. Great advance
nent In their attainments and ability
20 teach is shown. Filipino teachers
have been assigned TO positions of
greater responsibility as rapidly as
possible and now 115 are serving as
supervising and assistant supervising
teachers. which number does not in
clude twenty-one Filipino industrial
supervisors.
The course OF study has been slight
ly modified during the past year. The
changes made have been in the direc-
tion OF simplifcation.
Conditions in the Philippines demand
early specialization. In the prescribed
course of study this specialization is
introduced in the first year of the in
