HAD ODD IDEAS OF BURIAL
Eccentric individuals Disposed OF
After Death According to lnstruc-
tons Left in Their Wills.

A Londoner who died recently, left a
codicil to his will in which he desired
that his remains should be cremated
and mixed with equal portions of &c
ment and sand and buried "in a large
old jam jar which belonged to my
mother"
Ner is this by any means an iso
lated example of the peculiaritieS of
some people in regard to the disposal
of their bodies. Perhaps the most eX-
traOrdinary is that of the great phil
anthropist, Jeremy Bentham, who di
rected that, after his body had been
dissected for the benefit of certain
medical students, the skeleton should
be reassembled. clad after the custom

A certain major desired that his
body should be buried in vertical po-
sition feet upwards, on Box hill. 81

procedure in regard to burial and, it

II 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 daysl
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 al-.Ilipino legislature, In
response to the popular demand for
schools, and still more schools" is
constantly increasing its appropria-
lions 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

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
Pine 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 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 we'll

There are more positions than can be
filled by the trade school and COM
