Washington. Dec. -. While the
Filpinos may not be ready for self

they hu>r made remarkable progress

ippne Islands l. years ago.

As relatively nothing was known
about octual conditions in the Philip

teachers left the shores Of our country
harboring the belief mat the Nilpino
could be taught in the same way as
the average school child i'm the United
states was instructed.

The Lost Art of WALKING

Is walking becoming a lost art-one of those pre-
historic pastimes that we read about and wonder at?
One would almost think so, for it is a rare sight, now
adays, to see people out walking for the pleasure OF
1t. The utomobil and other enervating means OF
conveyance are liable to bring about a legless race
of humans. Biologists tell us that parts not used
will, in time, atrophy and disappear. So, in the course
of evolution, man may yet be excluded from the class
of bipeds.
There are many people who dread to walk three
blocks-the exhaustion is so great. And yet there
is no exercise more beneficial and more exhilarating
than a good, brisk walk. 1t hardens the muscles,
improves the digestion and %brightens the eye. 50,
walk-durn ye!

A Losing Corporation Fight

It must be a losing opposition made by the express
companies to further extensions Of the parcels post
service. Such engagements of that service as the
postmaster general is now proposing are, in all prob
ability, but the precursors of others. The entering
wedge was driven when the service was first inaug-
urated on anything approaching an adequate scale in
this country, only a year or two ago. Not only has
the demand for its extension grown directly out or
the experiment but the demonstration has served to
deprive the express corporations of some of their
most effective allies.
AS the fight against the parcels post was originally
organized, the forces of opposition included far more
than the express companies. They included small
retail dealers within the radii Of parcels post offices,
who feared the destroying competition Of the depart
ment stores. They included, also, a large number OF
commercial travellers, dealing with the retail traded
of smaller towns and cities, who had the same fear.
Some of this opposition remains, but the greater part
of it has disappeared under force OF the demonstrated
fact that the parcels post does not destroy the
retailer in the small towns. As the fight at Washing
ton now stands, it is one almost wholly between the
government, aiming to serve the. people, and the ex-
press corporations, aiming to serve themselves.
The government must win, because its function is
not only 10 serve the people, but to educate them.
Postal communication has become one Of the greatest
educating agencies of the world. The, government
has long recognized this, in the special mail rates it
comedies to anything in the way of printed matter.
There is hardly a piece of mail handled by the postal
service, even to the merest scrawl being sent to the
most illiterate person, which cannot be said to be, in
some way and to some extent, an educative influence.
The parcels post has done much to widen the scope
of educational work through the postal department.,
and will do infinitely nole when its own scope is
widened. The corporations are at war with the
educating spirit of the age, and must lose.
