Attest OF FAITH

We have frequent occasion to pro-
test against the efforts of Japan to
impose her dominion upon unwilling
peoples, yet we have thus far failed
to eXemplify the ideals which we rec
ommend to Japan. If we should with
draw our sovereignty from the Philip
pines, In accordance with our repeated
promises, we could the more consist
entity ask Japan to follow a similar
course toward Shantung, Manchuria
and Siberia. Our pea would have a
great deal more force if W. could
make it with clean hands. To say that
the Philippines are not ready for in
dependence is merely to express an
arbitrary, %gratuitous opinion. 1t is
perfectly easy to create conditions
in ones W mind-that no people
eve could comply with. Our delay
about respecting our own pledge is a
reflection on our national good faith
and a constant invitation to interna-
tional complications in the far east.

The Filipino has been much misrep-
resented in the United States. This is
largely because the Sunday supple
ments have made a speciality of por-
traying the semi-naked non-Christian
hill tribes as typical" Filipinos, which
is far from the truth.
The total population of the Philip
pines is 1~0,350,640, of which 9,495,272
are Christians and civilized, and have
been so for 300 years, possessing a Gull
ture and refinement that will compare
favorably with that of other countries.
The number of non-Christians is $685.

Chinese Carry Stoves.

Chinese ome wear practically the
same clothes in winter as in summer.
In the most severe weather, however,
they wear heating baskets under their
clOaks.
These baskets are plain wicker ones,
such as We use for trash. Inside the
baskets charcoal warmers are placed.
They will radiate heat for hours. The
charcoal is mixed with chemicals that
generate oxygen, and thus the char
coal will burn constantly eve though
it is sealed in the containers.

drcn's Guardians. who has been en-
gagged about the state for some time

interesting work. She has been par
ticularly busy in examining the chill
dren now in charge of the board. as
to their mental ability, character,
etc, with view Of determining
what is best to be done for their fu-
ture: also checking up their homes
and environments, for the same pur-
pose.
Miss Hall is exceedingly well quail
flied for this work. having had while
with the New York State Board Of
Charities much experience in psy-
chology. passing two or three years
in testing the feeble minded. She
has numerous interesting stories to
tell Of experiences on this recent
trip and speaks with feeling of the
little unfortunate that may be taken
into the care of the board in q con-
dition that appears dull and stupid,
but whom, with proper care and
treatment may develop into a bright
child.
One little boy in particular pre-
sents a problem. His one idea seems
to be on the least or fancied cross
ing Of his will or wish, ito get even"
So far has this developed in the lad
that he braggs in his success in
starting fire in a barn and burning
the building. What to do in this
boys case may mean study of sew
eral years, but the States officials in
this line of work deem no length OF
time too long, If beneficial results
may be expected.
Miss Mary Chadwick Of Brewer,
field agent for the past year in
Washington county. has rendered
her resignation to the board, to take
effect about the middle Of June next
The board regrets that Miss Chad
wick feels required to leave this
service. as her work has been excel
lent and her interest is appreciated.
She leaves to engage in work in a
larger field.
