To Fight tuberculosis il
and Infant Mortality. =

the work done on cholera, plague and
smallpox is regarded by some of the more
enthusiastic Americans as a mere pre-
liminary. The great work, they say,
is still to be done in fighting tuber-
culosis, which is fearfully prevalent,
and in fighting the infant mortality.
Half the Philippine babies die before
they are a year old.
This is due partly to lack of stamina,
on account Of early marriages, and partly
child of twelve-year-old mother and
a fifteen-year-old father cannot be ex-
pected to have much of a constitution.
When the mother feeds him boiled rice
when he is two weeks old it does not
help much.
The health service. working hand-in-
hand with the bureau of education, has
made some progress in correcting such
conditions, but there is a great deal still
to be done. The work among the wild
men still calls for infinite tact and pa
thence. Now and again the tribe is
stampeded by some superstitious fear, or
takes up some miraculous healer of its
own who is a good deal worse than use
less. One such healer. the celebrated
Queen Of Taytay, started a cholera cpl

PHILIPPINE PROBLEMS
II.-Teaching and Clean
ing Up.
By Frederic J.: Haskin.

Affairs in the Philippines are going
through a critical period. The COM
pick system of education and admins
tration that we built up is getting Its
final test. We know that the organi-
cation is eficient; that it will work.
We have still to find out what effect
its workings have on the mass of the
Philippine people-in how far they are
willing or capable of receiving its
benefits.
There is the question of the English
language, for instance. The whole
school system Of the islands has been
making every effort since its incep-
ton to teach its little brown pupils
the tongue Of their new country. Eng
lish today is more generally UNDER
stood than Spanish ever was, though
Spain held the Philippines for CEN
turtles. You can get about the islands
more easily speaking English than
with any one of the Filipino dialects.
1t would seem that the English-teach-
ing campaign has been great success,
and this Is undoubtedly the case to a
great extent. Yet there are intelligent
Americans who believe that the lower
grade school work should be carried
on in the native dialects.
X
They say that the many thousands of
Filipino children Of the poorer classes
go to school

Any Native Dialect. rbey .nend
most of that time learning the new
language. Then they go home, take
get what English they knew. Accord
ing to this theory, 1t would be better
to take them for the limited time at
the teachers disposal and give them
as much solid, general instruction as
possible in their own tongue. Thus
they could get something out of the
school that they would retain.
The weight of opinion in the islands
is against such course. There Is no
Filipino dialect. There are none of
the works of information, or books on
how to do things, in which English is
rich. In word, the English language
as tool is incomparably superior to
any HdllVc uIdlcCls anu even IL the
majority never make use of it any
step toward establishing it is a step
in the right direction. But the mere
fact that such a dispute exists shows
that the school question is not solved.
Admitting this. there is no doubt as
to the remarkable work done by the
bureau of education. 1t Is the bureau
nearest the people. Many of the other
bureaus have to work through it, It
teaches over half a million pupils and
employs nine thousand Filipino teach
ers 1t has done more. perhaps, to es-
tablish friendship and confidence be-
tween the people and the government
than any other single influence. Yet
we cannot regard its work as done;
its future as a mere matter of routine
The permanence of its results has
yet to be established. The present
school system cannot accommodate
more than half of all the children of
school age In the islands.
The education Of the hill tribes is
just beginning. They present prob

Filipino. Shy, savage, superstitious,
they have to be humored and coaxed
with infinite patience and tolerance. If
the Filipinos are given charge of the
government of the islands, one of the
surest tests Of their spirit and their
| ability will be the way they carry on
the education of the Ifugaos and the
| Mangyans.
| The Filipino himself often displays
keen appetite for knowledge. There
are two higher schools at Manila. with
| a combined enrolment of over 200,
ais we'll as the University of the Philip
| pines. The latter institution is very
| popular, but most Of the young Fill
| pino college men take courses In let
ters and the fine arts. In the present
| 1t would be much better il they cared
more for the sciences and engineering.
| In the lower schools, very success.
| full feature Is the work In manual
or less Of a mere novelty, as it Is in
the United States. An old Spanish
friar many years ago said that the
| brains of the Filipinos are in their
most delicate operations to a high de-
gree Hence the manual training work
produces some fine results. with true
professional finish, unlike the patiently
! amateurish products usually turned
! out by such departments. In these
manual training rooms may be founded
| new Industries for the islands. The
. lace-making work has been greatly
stimulated.
One Of the most important works Of
| the bureau of education has been the
| way it spread the propaganda OF the
bureau Of health. The health bureau
work in the Philippines is as fundamen-
tally important as the same work in
the Canal Zone. and the results achieved
lands in a state of almost unbeliev-
able uncleanlinoss, swept periodically
by all the plaques OF Egypt, and every
stop forward was made against forces
Of Ignorance and superstition. There
were q few educated and intelligent
natives who realised that conditions
needed lettering. but that was about
as far as they got.

Chasing a Rainbow.

NC OuotuCoo mCh Va ~0~s
Springs recently raised $ll7.OO
for crawling the road between
the bridge and Lowell, they are
now digging up for the same
improvements on the cemetery
road. Business men of Baxter
are just now going down in their
pockets 10 order to bring the
Chautauqua here SO that people
may have some high class enter
taippent; business men contribute
regularly to the churches; If a
man is hard up and needs mer-
chandise for his family the local
merchants give him credit; If he
has a misfortune and is out of
money the merchants dig up to
help defray funeral expense.
The merchant is giving up part
of his earnings all the time for
the good of the town and country.
Surely a town wouldn't amount
to muchif it wasn't for the BUSH
ness men. Then again, unless
a farm is located near a good
town, affordiug good markets,
good schooling and good enter
tainment, such land is not worth
much, be it ever so productive.
So, if one stops to think about it,
he can see that we all owe a
good deal to the business man.
Now, on the other hand, let US
consider the mail order house.
The one for instance, that only
recently sent you a catalogue
full of gaudy pictures and oily
words.
Does the mail order house con-
tribute anything towards the
upbuilding and upkeep of your
roads? Not on your life.
Does said mail order house
give you credit when your crops
fail and you are hard up? Well,
hardly.
Does it head the subscription
list when it is passed around, to
help a poor citizen. to build a
church, a telephone line, or some
other good cause? What a funny
question. Of course not.
Did it ever do anything fol
your town. Never.
Then you see, you don't owe a
thing to the mail order house.
Look little deeper and you will
see that in sending your money
away you actually cause yourself
an injury in the long run. fol
you are depreciating the value Of
your own property.
You sure are chasing a rain
bow when you send away your
money thinking you are saving
a little.
