CHILDREN MUST
ATTEND SCHOOL
S. B. TOBEY WILL ENFORCE
LAW IMPOSING PENALTY
IF NOT OBSERVED

"All children of school age should
now be in school unless they have
legal excuse for staying out" Supt.
S. B. Tobey declared to Pilot repre-
sentative "The law requires all par
ents or guardians to place their chill
dren of school age in school and keep
them there. A severe penalty is i'm
posed by the law upon all parents or
guardians neglecting to send their
children regularly to school. Several
parents are neglecting to comply with
the law under the wrong impression
that it is unnecessary.
"All children between the ages Of
fourteen and seventeen working I'M
der labor permits must enroll at once
in the Vocational School at the Cen
trail School building. All employers
of labor should insist that every minor
child applying for labor furnish a
labor permit or legal evidence that
he is more than seventeen years or
age. The law imposes triple damages
against the employer for all disabil-
ity arising out of accidents to children
between fourteen and seventeen while
in employment if they have no legal
labor permit"
Evade Duty
In previous years it has been known
that many parents evaded the duty of
seeing that their children registered
and attended the public schools. Per-
mlts are to be issued this year under
rigid observance of legal require
ments.
The enrolment in the public
schools on Monday and Tuesday of
last week has been compiled at the
superintendent Office and as many
children have registered during the
first week as ever before in the his
tory of the city. 1t reached the high
water mark of 3,453, including the
high school, plus an additional 300
enrolled in the Vocational school. The
total is we'll over 300.
Yet there are also more children to
enter. Through illness and other
causes a larger number of school
children have been kept out of school
by their parents for the time being.
When all have entered registration
this year will approximate 1000.
Space Needed
Despite the addition of the Central
school building, the city schools as
whole are going to be cramped. In
the high school particularly are con-
ditions such that students will hardly
have the opportunity to do their best
work. The assembly hall is filled to
maximum capacity and several other
rooms are utilized for freshmen.
The Industrial school with a pres
ent enrolment of 300 is likely to have
many more students when evening
classes commence next week. Inter-
est in its course indicates the in
creasing attention being paid to prac-
teal schooling plus a limited degree
of academic work.
The following is a table of the en-
rollment of children in the various
school buildings:

FILIPINO LEGISLATORS
DEBATE IN ENGLISH,

The English language recently was
used for the first time in the debates
of the Filipino House of Representa-
tives.
The fact was cabled to the United
States Insular Affairs Bureau. The
principal speakers were Messrs. BENZ
tez, De Guzman and. Virata. These
members are graduates from the Uni
versity Of the Philippines.
English is taught exclusively in the
public schools of the Philippines, and
it is announced, will continue to be
if independence is granted. Accord
ing TO an estimate based on the
census just completed, seventy per
cent of the inhabitants of the Philip
pines over 10 years of age are liter
ate. This is higher percentage of
literacy than that of any South Amer
ican country.

SAYS ALL FllIPlNOS
WANT INDEPENDENCE

sit Is frequently said that only the
politicians In the Philippines want in
dependence, but do not think such is
the case," said DR.. D. NJ. Gambler,
superintendent of the California Anti
Saloon League, who has just returned
from the Philippines. 81 have met
all classes of people from various
parts of the islands and all alike seem
to me to desire independence. am
inclined TO think that they have the
ability to govern themselves. We are
developing a social and political con.
science in America and they will de.
velop one there; and I very much
doubt that they will learn as fast
under present conditions as thew
would under complete independence.
Independence In some form is bound
to come and I am inclined to think
that 1t had better come soon."

The following extract indicates
Prof Kerlin'S views:
"The Negroes subscription to the

and the whole list, they quote as
evidence of their patriotism and
spirit in the CountryS time of

are justly proud. They make it
the basis of democratic demands,
quite naturally. OF the valor of
their troops overseas they make the
same argument Those troops
fought with endurance and heroism
at Chateau Thierry and in the Ar
gonne, and mingled their blood
with that of the white soldiers in
the dust Of France. Those troops
labored in the service of Supplies
at Bordeaux and BreSt without

There is another branch of the

SOME FACTS ABOUT
THE PHILIPPINES

The Filipino people number TO-
3jO6lO of which g,Ig5.272 are Chris
lianS, and only nine per cent non
Christians.
They have been Christians for
800 years, and have culture and
refinement that will compare very
favorably with that of other ma
tiunS.
The University of Santo Tomas
is - years older than Harvard.
English is taught exclusively in
the Philippine schools. Two mil
lion natives now speak English flu
entity. and there are 100000 English
speaking children in the public
schools. II is destined to be the
national language.
Seventy per cent of the inhabii-
ants of the Philippines over 10
years OF age, according to census
Just completed, are lilcratc, This
is "A higher percentage of literacy
than that of any South American
country, higher than that Of Spain,
and higher than that of any of the
new republics of Europe whose in
dependence is being guaranteed by
the Allies. "a
The Filipino people are unani-
nous in their desire for independ-
cnce. Whenever they are called
upon to deposit their ballots they
have always ratified this aspiration.
At every session before adjourn
mcnt their representatives in the
Legislature rcilcrate their faith in
the principles Of liberty and the in
dependence of the Filipino people.
There are only 6,GSl japanese in
the Philippines. There are 12i 600
japanese in California alone, or 49,
times as many as in the entire Phil
ippinc archipelago.
A special delegation of Filipinos,
officially representing the Filipino
pcop'c, are attending the two ma
iional conventions, seeking an en-
dorscmcnt of the Filipino desire
for independence in the platforms.
Their arguments, briefly stated, are
as follows:
First: That the American De-
claration of Independence declares
that governments derive their just
powers from the consent of the
governed;
Second: That the American Con-
grcSS, in the Jones law, solemly |
promised the FilipinoS independ-
ence upon the establishment of a !
stable government, and that their
claim that the said stable govern
mcnt is now in existence in the Is
lands has been officially confirmed
by Americas own representatives
there; and
Third: That America went before
the world in the recent war as the
avowed champion of "Self deter
mination," American soldiers hav
lag been told it was one of the
things they were fighting and dying
for.

IA all Of its territory and in states
beyond that might be supposed to
be its territory. There are also
news agencies. The most import
ant of these by far is the Associat-
ed Negro Press. Through special
correspondents in every city Of
the country it gathers the racial
news and sends this out regularly
to its large membership. About
seventy-iive papers receive these
communications directly, but all
get it sooner or later. Nothing ra-

DETROIT, Mich, June 30.-One
thousand Negroes are coming into
Detroit every week. This is the
estimate of Forester b. Washington
who is making a comprehensive
survey of the social and industrial
conditions among the large num-
Der of these people who now are
lodged in this city. Washington's
survey also reveals that the living
conditions in which these emi-
grants are forced to abide are
wretched, in the greater instances,
and constitute a health menance
that should be remided at once. He
advocates the erection of work
mems homes in large numbers as
one of the means of solution.
