ments favorably on suggestion OF
President j. w. Crabtree, Of the River
Falls Normal School, that there should

Pupils have a right to chew gum,
President Crabtree is quoted as say
ing. Teachers do it, but they know
when, where and how Why not teach
these conventionalities to the pupils:
But what will the poor child do with
his gum while in the recitation or as

mouth he will forget himself and be-
fore he is aware Of 1t will be chewing
at Lively rate.

The Clarke amendment to the bill as
1t passed the senate provides for the
liberation Of the Philippines from two
to four years after the passage Of the

self government than now exists in

his approval to the amendment, and
his refusal to oppose 1t was one of
the reasons for the resignation of Sec

The democratic ma ajority Of the

that the United States could not hope
TO defend the Philippines from foreign
aggression save at colossal military
expense. ,..S<.'slss- -
