by Filipinos, and under the American
rule they were given many of the
higher offices. This has given them 6
good foundation and their assertion
IS based largely upon this.
During the Philippine committee
hearing before the Senate in 1914, Mr.
Taft, who had been civil governor OF
the islands, said that the Filipinos
were better prepared for self-govern-
ment than the Cubans. Economic
conditions were favorable. Repre-
sentatives of the American govern
ment say that there is now stable
government in the Philippines.
The Philippine Islands are 1000
square miles larger than Great Bri-
tain. The total population is 10,500,-
600 and of this number 1,75O,000 males
are qualified voters. There are 400
schools having 675,OO0 pupils. DR..
Paul Monroe of Columbia University
one of the best authorities on the his
tory of education, after an investiga-
ton of education in the Philippines,
said that greater progress in educa-
ton had been made in the Philippine
Islands in the last twelve years than
in any other place in similar period
in the history of education. Seventy
per cent of those above 10 years old
can read and write. Ninety-six per
cent of the farms are owned by indi-
vidual Filipinos.
During the war the Philippines Of
fered division of $4,000 men to the
United States. Six thousand are now
serving voluntarily in the American
navy. Every Liberty Loan was over
subscribed. This expresses admira-
bly, Filipino loyalty.
Theodore Roosevelt said in 1915:
"The time will come when it will be
wise to take their own judgment as to
whether they wish to continue their
associations with America or not"
"They have expressed their desire
for independence and have based their
assertions on facts that no one can ig-
more. They feel confident of steering
the ship of state. Let us turn the
wheel over to them

HILLS AND VALLEYS

Some men live in a pleasant valley
while others live on the wind-swept
height.
The men of the Hill are the restless
spirits of the age. They are filled with
an inmate longing to do. They are
pioneers of powerful vision who are
blessed, or cursed, with the spirit OF
the world. They are the lonely think
ers, who, because of their attainments,
must bear the cross of civilization
upon their shoulders.
The dwellers in the Valley are the
satisfied, contented community men.
They walk freely in the sunshine with
laughing wife and children. They are
burdenless. They need not think. 1t
is joy and ease only to follow the
laughing river of life. 1t is only an
occasional storm cloud that frets
them, while the lighting streaks play
over the Hills.
o, people of the Valley, who cruci-
fed the Christ, stoned Stephen to
death and burned Joan of Arc at the
stake, be merciful to the men of the
Hill! Theirs is not a pleasant life;
nor is it a life of their own choice.
They are the ordained trail blazers
who must mark the way. Be just
and kind Do not add to their bur-
dens; do not cruelty them.

THE WORLDS HOPE

AT recent ceremonies held at St
Andrews, Scotland, when the Univer,
sity of St Andrews conferred hon
orary degrees upon several distin-
guished men, including Pershing
Clemenceau and King Albert, Si1
Douglas Haig made an address in
which he said:
'The Christian religion, backed by
a united Christendom and church
as daring and leading on spiritual
lines as the army on military lines
is the one hope of the world and OF
the solution of the great problems
teeming with possible mighty wars"
What makes this statement signifi-
cant is the person who uttered it. AL
through the war we have heard il
iterated and reiterated by preachers
from the pulpit, but, coming from
them, the thought was taken more or
less as professional idea, losing
muCu VI IT'S eueCllNeueSS lueTeUs. IlO
hear the chief of Great Br.tain's army
say that not in military strength but
in spiritual strength lies the one hope
of the world should and will create a
profound impression.
The great war came not in spite of
the precepts of Christianity; it came
because Christianity was held in the
remote background, as an unmportant
factor in the scheme of life of so-called
Christian countries.
The Christian church must come out
of its dormancy and become a daring,
earnest leader of affairs, taking the
place which is just being abandoned
by the military leadership. The church
cannot do this un-united. Already eff
forts are being made to unite under a
league of churches all denominations
of Christendom. 1t is a stupendous
undertaking, but it is necessary and
can be accomplished.

paid fine tribute to his father, the
late Jay H. Neff, prominent in the
profession of journalism, and also car
ried out his own good wishes for the
School of Journalism, from which he
was graduated in 1913.
Mr.. Neff's generous gift to the school
has been keenly appreciated by alumni
everywhere and all others interested
in the school. Naturally he has re-
ceived many letters of appreciation
from the graduates and friends of the
institution. But his act has done more
than that. 1t has stimulated a desire
on the part of other graduates to do
something practical for the success of
the school when it enters its new
building with greater facilities and a
broader program of service. A move
ment among the alumni and former
students to give further material as
sistance to the school is now evident.
One hundred and ninety-three men
and women have been graduated from
INV NhioSooii oShooi VI JOuTudllSm
since 1909. BY far the largest per-
centage of these are actively and sue
cessfully following the profession for
which they were trained. Many have
risen to positions of remarkable
prominence. Many are owning and
operating newspapers of their own. A
number are teachers in other schools
of journalism, which they have been
instrumental in organizing. Graduates
of the Missouri School are in news
paper work in China, Japan, the Phil
ippine Islands and other places abroad.
No other school of journalism in the
world has sent its graduates into so
wide field of service.

PHILIPPINE INDEpENDENCE

The recent Philippine Mission to
the United States reported that there
exists in the Philippine Islands the
conditions of order and government
which America has required in all
cases in which she recognized indie
pendence of a country or the estab-
lishment of a new government. This
statement is borne out by facts.
Under the Spanish regime most of

THE NEW BOOKS
Reconstruction and National Life,

Reconstruction and National Life =
Reconstruction and National Life
by Cecil F. Lavell, Phi. D., associate
professor of history in Grinnell Col
lege gives an historical approach to
the reconstruction problem of Europe.
Professor Lavell thinks that it is up
to each people to work out it's own
salvation along lines suggested by its
own peculiar type of history, charac-
ter and attitude toward life. So he
gives study of the evolution of these
qualities in the existence of France,
Germany, Russia and Great Britain to
show that reconstruction is not so
much an external process as 1t is the
expression of a dynamic national life.

With Handicaps Of 8 Years Start Oi

By United Press.
PARIS, July 1 (by maiD Just who
won the war is still live question of
debate, but there is no argument as
to which nations warriors come off
best in matrimonial contests in
France. The Yanks won.
A typical example of how complete
ly the American doughhoys in France
outclassed their British, Belgian and
other rivals is furnished by the mar
riage bureau of La Rochelle, a small
seaport down on the coast between
Bordeaux and st. Nazaire.
The Americans started with a Sc
we're handicap. The other Allies had
had three years and more to entice
away the girls of La Rochelle before
the doughboys had even learned to
say Bon jour-"
But the figures tell best the story
of ultimate triumph. A total of sixty
three girls of the seaport town mar
ried foreign soldiers during the course
of the war. Twenty-three of them
were won by Americans. Belgium
came in second best. carrying off
nineteen brides.
Other armies were represented in
the following proportions: Italians,
five; English, three; Swiss, three;
Russians, three. Spanish, two; Danes,
one; Poland, Greece, Cuba and Tur-
key each scored one.
Throughout France the story of La
Rochelle was repeated.

Ward A. Neff of Kansas City, is COM
pleted. Work on the building has al
ready begun. The building IS expected
to be completed by January 1. 1920,
and ready for formal dedication at the
annual Journalism Week in May.
The building is planned after pres
ent day modern newspaper plants. 1t
will be more than school building.
1t will be an ideal newspaper plant.
In the basement will be the press and
composition rooms, photo-engraving

floor will be the business office. the
offices of the dean and other faculty
members. the city room or news room
of the school, the copy reading room,
the library, reading room and morgue.
A spacious auditorium and lecture
room will be on the second floor.
Any commercial, educational or civ
ic organization IN order to succeed
must first sell itself to its promoters.
In other words, it must impress its
real worth upon those who are allied
with it. The success of the Missouri
School of Journalism at Columbia may
be attributed in large measure to the
fact that it has sold ITSELF to it's
alumni. The young men and women
