SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
INCREASES IN PHILIPPINES
Enrolment This Year Is Expected Il
Be 100000, as Against 100000
in 1919.

(From the Christian Science Monitor. }
In 1918 there were 100000 pupils in
the Philippine public schools, all
using English, from the first grade
up. In 1919 there were 100000 pupils
all attending without any legal COM
pulsion. This year there will be 8OO,-
900, due to the 1918 appropriation of
the Philippine legislature, which pro-
vided $15,000,000 additional to the
regular school revenues for the years
1928 as a part of a comprehensive
scheme to provide in the islands no
matter in what part of the archipe-
lago he may live, saps "School Life"
In 1918 there were twenty-five Fill
pino government students in the
United States pursuing post t-graduate
courses at the expense of the Philip
pine government: In 1919 there were
140 such students. This year there
will be IT'S fellowship students, ex-
elusive of several thousand private
students. who are either making their
own way through college in the
United States or whose expenses are
met by their parents.
These increase in voluntary at
tendance of Filipino children in the
Philippine schools and of Filipino
government students in United States
colleges and universities are indicat-
i've of the Filipino trust and depend
ence upon public education for the
maintenance of sound democratic
form of government when the con-
gress of the United States shall have
decided that the time is ripe for
granting an independent form of GO
vernment
The continue spread of English and
its exclusive use in the schools are in
dicative of The Filipino faith in the
English language as the best national
medium for preserving and transmit.
ting ideas of true democracy.
There are now $50 American teach
ers, principals and superintendent
assisting the army of Filipinos en-
ployed in the largest single school
system under the American flag
Americans have right to be proud
of the educational record in the

The owners OF the property had plac-

the bidding was brisk, the figures

and the auctioneer was over pleased
with the g.eat success of the sail
The crowd was treated to fox trots

When the office of the successful

"The total amount of your bid at

BIG BOOZE POURING

Anderson June, 9.-There was u
booze outpouring at the county Jail
this morning. Sheriff King and his
deputies disposed of $5,4OO worth of
whiskey in about Is minutes. A hund-
red and thirty-fve gallons were pour
ed into the cutters the street literally
running with whiskey: After the
whiskey hal been poured into the
street it was set on fire. A five gal
Ion can explode, blowing out the
stopper and the top of the can but it
did not hurt anyone. Most of the whis-
key was in gallons cans, and it was of
all colors and conditions. Sheriff
King said some of the stuff had eaten
through the containers and he was
afraid it would destroy the cement
floors of the cell, it was so powerful
from the chemicals which were in
some of the supposed" corn liqour.

"The case" he said, twas that Of
a colored man named Roberts who

"The case," he said, "was that Of
a colored man named Roberts who
was employed in novelty house on
Broadway. The safe was robbed. The
bureau of identification examined
the safe and found a finger mark, a
right index finger, as it mark, a right
index finger, as it turned out. This
enc mark we photographed and took
to headquarters. 1t looked like an
inside job and so the employees of the
firm were all finger printed. Roberts
right index finger corresponded ex-
actly. But the firm fired him.
Some time later jewelry sales
man named Vogel was found murder
ed in store on Clan street. The body
was down in the cellar, where eviden-
ly preparations had been made to
burn it. Upstairs was found a gold
cigarette case, which was Unidentified
as having belonged to the murdered
Man. On the case was a finger print,
We powdered the print and photo
graphed it. While we were examin-
ing it detective walked into the
bureau.
"You know" he said, that that
colored fellow. Roberts who has turn
ed up in the Broadway safe robbery
worked on the places where Vogel
was killed"
"Well," I said to him, go out and
bring him in; for we've just compared
Roberts finger print with the print
on the cigarette case and both are a
like"
So Roberts was arrested, was in
dicted, tried and convicted of mur-
der. Kuhne says that often myster-
les are cleared up this way. Finger
prints take off a window in a hotel
room where robbery or some other
crime has been committed have led
to the indentlication of the perpetra-
tors.
