The Filipinos Ready
to Try Their Wings

the now famous phrase autonomy of
| nations" he began a movement which
not only tore into shreds the multi
colored pattern of Austria Hungarian
nationality, raveled apart the small
states of the Balkans and patched Po-
land together, but also intensified the
desirse of the people of the Philip
pine Islands for a government of their
own. Now they are unanimous in
asking the United States to give them
the right of autonomous development.
From the recent war arose num-
erous small republics, each swelling
! with hope in proud regeneration. The
Philippines, although not in the snad-
ow of the empires that crumbled, de-
sire the same freedom Of action.
Have not they more the right to
autonomous development, who have
been bred during the last generation
in the ideals and spirit of our Declara-
ton of Independence, than other peO-
pies who have lived always under the
patronage of monarchies, whose in
stincts are not democratic? Such a
question the islanders now propose to
America, not in a spirit of dissatisfac-
ton, even as Ireland is dissatisfied.
but in eagerness to prove themselves
worthy of that which the American
ideals have inspired in them.
We undertook their government, We
said, in order to teach them how to
govern themselves. They were apt
pupils. We scarcely realize how
quickly they have learned the lessons
treat them as if they were dull pu-
pills.
And why should not the Philippines
have their independence? They are
not savages, nor barbarians. OF a
population of 10,500,O0O, only 100000
are un-Christianized; while the per-
centage of literacy today is 20 per
cent, a percentage higher than that
in italy, Greece, Rumania and other
countries whose independence is rec
ognized by the associated powers.
Contrary to popular belief in this
country the Filipinos were not saw
ages when America first hoisted her
flag over their soil. Even before the
Spaniards went to the islands, the
Filipinos had a civilization of their
own which was somewhat compar-
able to that of some of the mountain
peoples of today" according to DR..
James A. Robertson, an American his
torian and scholar.
Then followed three centuries of
Spanish domination which extended
culture in the islands despite its lex
tiles and excesses. In fact, a French
writer in 1897 said Of them, These
people seemed to me no way inferior
to those of Europe; they cultivate the
soil with intelligence; they are car
penters, cabinetmakers, smiths. jew
elers, weavers, masOns, etc. I have
gone through their villages and l
have found them kind, hospitable and
affable".
Moreover, Ferdinand Blumentritt,
an Austrian professor, makes bold to
say that if the civilization Of the diff
ferent peoples of the Philippines were
compared with that of Servia, Ru-
mania, Bulgaria and Greece, that the
Spanish-FilipinO civilization "is great
er and larger extent than that of
those countries" This was written
in 1899.

S PORT
Pikers Have Confidence
Of Winning From Tigers.

That Washington University still
has confidence i'm the ability of her
basketball team to defeat Missouri
was evidenced this morning when Doc
tor Meanwell received letter from
Dick Rutherford, coach at the St
Louis institution, stating that proba-
bly, $50 rooters would make the trip
this weekend to Columbia with the
Piker basketball squad.
The Pikers realize that here in Co
lumbia they will make their last stand
for the Valley title. A win for the
Tigers in either one of these combats
means the championship. On the 9th
er hand, if the Pikers should take both
games, there would be uneasiness in
the Tiger ranks.

morning.
The celebration has so grown IN
size that it is impossible to make all
the preparation the night before.
In fact, the opening of the university
in the fall is the signal for work to
begin for the following March.
Honorary knights are selected each
year from the faculty Of the School OF
Engineering. Among the first to be
knighted were Prof. F. p. Spaulding
and Prof. w. s. Williams. President
A. Ross Hill was knighted in 1912.

of Engineering where the Blarney
stone is, he will tell you he does not
know. If you ask him what it looks
like he will tell you he does not know
In both cases he will be telling the
truth, for very little Is known about
it except that every ST. Patrick's
Day it appears, soon to disappear un-
til the hext year. Every year a few
of the seniors become worried on
finding that no one knows the loca-
tion of it, but the older members of
the class will tell them not to worry,
for it has not failed to appear in
seventeen years. This is the story
told of its origin:
The stone made its first appearance
about 1904. Newspapers of the
United. States and London were dis
cussing who st. Patrick was. One
night two students in the School of
Engineering were sitting in the Ii
brary reading these articles. One of
them suddenly exclaimed that st.
Patrick must have been an engineer
or he could have never performed
the feats that he did in ireland.
Little was thought of the statement
until the following year, when,
while laying the corner stone to the
annex of the Engineering Building
some students found a large stone
deeply inlaid with ancient carvings,
which the engineers translated as
meaning that St. Patrick was an
engineer They then proceeded to
celebrate his birthday. In those days
to celebrate meant to cut all classes
and keep others from going. Con-
sequently the seniors issued an edict
ordering all students in the School of
Engineering to stay off the campus
during the day. To enforce this,
juniors and seniors were placed at
all entrances. Most of the profess
sors took the celebration as a joke.
However, the next year, one profess
sor rebelled and made the announce
ment that any senior who cut a class
on st. Patrick's Day would not be
graduated. 1t is needless to say
that no attempt on the part of the SEN
iors was made to cut The cutting
Of classes was discontinued a few
years later with the making of st.
Patrick's Day holiday for the en-
gineering students.
The kissing of the blarney stone,
which is part of the knighting of an
engineering student derives its orr
gin from the famous blarney stone
which rests in the castle in a small
town of Blarney, Ireland. There is
a time-old superstition among the
Irish that whoever kisses this stone
will be blessed with the ready flow
of language which it is thought all
Irishmen are blessed.
In order to be knight a student
must spend four>years in the school
and do an allotted amount of work
each year in preparation for the
celebration. In the early history of
the celebration the work was never
started until midnight of March 16
and was finished before the next
morning. The entire student body
of the School of Engineering would
meet early in the evening to discuss
plans, call the roll and sleep.
Promptly at II o'clock every man
was ready. Hammers, saws and
wrenches were much in evidence, and
