IF a teacher in a public school in
the Philippines desires to punish a
child, she doesn't have to apply the
ruler. She simply sentences the offend
ing pupil to remain away from school
a few days!
This is the most severe punishment
she can inflict, for Filipino children
take an almost abnormal pleasure in
going to school and acquiring an edu-
cation. The all-1ilipino legislature, in
response to the popular demand for
,,"schools. and still more schools" is
constantly increasing its approprla-
tions for education, but the schools can
scarcely be constructed fast enough to
care for the ever-increasing enrolment.
The school enrolment is now S92, 600
without any compulsory attendance
laws. When Dewey sailed into Manila
Bay there were 2,100 private schools
in the islands. Today there are $500
schools and colleges, with 1900 Fill
Pine teachers and about 1000 other
teachers, 341 of whom are Americans.
The University of the Philippines is
the center of learning of the entire
Orient, and is the pride Of the Fill
pinO people. 1t has an enrolment of
$500 students. Santo Tomas univer
sity of Manila, older than Harvard, is
another famous seat of learning.
The school system includes normal
schools, agricultural colleges, twenty
seven farm schools, nautical school
and a school for the deaf and blind.
The Filipino pupil, in addition to
learning English and in addition to his
regular studies, learns basket making,
embroidery and hat weaving, the
trades peculiar to the islands, as well
as the domestic sciences and pedagogy.
There are more positions than can be
filled by the trade school and com.
mercial college graduates. The trade
and agricultural schools produced ST.
1850 worth of goods in 1919

people take more pride in and that

New Street-Car Idea.

The objections to the so-called
safety cars" which We're introduced
during the last few years, have been
met in Seattle by the invention of
what is called a one-man-two-man
street car. The design of this car per-
mits of its being operated in the
slack hours by one man, while in the
busy hours, with a little rearrange-
ment of the interior. 1t is changed
to make provision for the addition
of a conductor. This Is said to meet
the great criticism of the safety"
in that SO much time was lost in the
stops when the single attendant was
compelled to take the. fares, answer
the questions and attend to the va
rious other matters, with the entrance
of group of passengers.

One night the private car of Presi-

shunted onto siding in the yards at
Altoona and before morning there
came a heavy thunderstorm with in
tensely vivid lightning. Next morn

cleaning the car there was found on
one Of the window panes a very good

but that the scene. in the picture was

look at it, concluded that there had
been thin film of oil on the window,
which in some way became sensitive
to intense light and a flash of light

boat is provided with couple Of UNI
brellas of rubberized fabric, one on

board side, attached to the gunwale
by sort of outrigger. -
When not in use the umbrellas are
collapsed and take up little room, the
outriggers being swung alongside of
the craft, out of the way. But in case
of danger the outrlggers- are hastily
swung outward into position, the UNI
brellas spreading automatically.
