THE PULLING FILIPINO.

The Philippine mission, consisting of
Gen. Wood and W. Cameron Forbes, is
said to be getting a lot of contradictory
evidence from the natives. At public
hearings the Filipino spokesman almost
invariably declare that their country
wants complete independence, and then
privately they give the commissioners as
surance that it wants and needs the con-
tinued protection of the United States.
Evidently politics has had q good deal
to do with~this two-faced attitude The
Filipino leaders. apparently, make the
public demands for independence for pub
lie effect. Maybe their private statements
are sincere, and maybe they are intended
to curry favor with the American repre-
sentatives. 1t would take a psychology
cal expert of rare perspicacity to tell.
People of Spanish blood are notorious
ly careless with facts and flexible in their
statements. Orientals are VIGOROUSLY
evasive and past finding out. Politicians
of any breed have their devious tricks of
speech and action. When you take a
bunch of men who are a mixture of all
three, as those Filipino leaders are, what
hope has plain, fortnight American
of getting the truth? The upshot of the
matter will probably be that Uncle Sam
will continue to treat those rather troub-
lesome islands and islanders according
to the dictates of his own conscience.

"sURNORMALn SCHOOL WORK..

A remarkable and Illuminating fact Is
revealed in an exhibition of handwork
in the public schools of one of the large
cities The display includes baskets,
stools, wicker lamps, furniture, en-
broidery, rag rugs, rafiia work and many
other articles of household use, pro-
duced by the pupils of the 'subnormal
school," who are the dull boys and
girls selected from the regular schools
for special instruction.
Visitors to that exhibition have all
been amazed at the excellence of the work.
And here is the remarkable fact: Not
only is the handwork of those "subnor-
NAL children excellent in itself, but the
teachers say that it cannot be equalled
by the work of the normal children!
Here. certainly, is food for thought.
Those dull" boys and girls may be dull
at their books, but they are not dull with
their hands. Given almost any kind of
manual work, they show unexpected in
terest, application and ability, and even
artistic talent The other children may
be better at more abstract things like
reading, grammar, dTlIuLLltlLC, SIS', Du'
they are better at practical work.
There is probably less essential differ
ence in amount of ability than in kind, of
ability. Some children are very capable
/ in some things and other children are
very capable in other things. Real edu-
cation consists in getting rid of false es-
Inmates of merit, and valuing children
and adults of different capabilities for
what they are really worth.
1t is not necessary to make a teacher
or lawyer or doctor out of every child.
though the old educational theory and
method seemed to assume that it was.
| The community needs carpenters and
masons and pattern-makers and dress
makers and weavers and other hand
workers. and needs the artists who are
halfway between them and the "profes-
sions," just as much as it needs profess
sional people. Why not assume that all
are equally honorable, and train the
young accordingly?

WOMAN AND SCIENCE.

Scientific research is suggested to the
young woman of today who is looking
for profession. DR.. Simon Flexner, di-
rector of the Rockefeller Institute for
Medical Research, believes it to be a
field for which women are well fitted and
in which they may hope for success.
More women are entering this field
than ever before, and still there is I'M
limited room. The unrevealed secrets of
science are many. The needs of human
ity which science can relieve are unlim-
tied. Fascinating study, travel and re
markable opportunity for association
and service await the students who fol-
lows scientific pursuits. When such
doors stand open, the myth of narrow
life for women fades like fog before the
sun.
1t takes courage, devotion and self-de-
NAL to become a follower of science,
whether the student be man or woman,
but for those who do the reward is sure.

If the special committee on the COM
munity house project decides TO recon-
mend the combined armory soldier memo
rial-community house idea. as now seems
likely, and goes on record further as IA
vOring the provision of the necessary
funds through an issue of town bonds.
the people of Brattlcboro will have an
opportunity to express their opinion. on
the proposition in a definite and deter
mining way It would be necessary. of
course, to secure action through a spe-
cial town meeting, and if work on the
proposed new building is to be started
this season the question must be settled
without delay. There are no doubt a
considerable Aumher of people who doubt
whether an armory anil community house
under the same roof is an ideal arrange
ment, but the question seems to be not
so much whether such an arrangement
is ideal as whether it Il not tie only
way in which the town can expect to Sc
cure any sort of a community house
As the matter now stands there is
available for the combined project ap-
proximately $4,000 including the state
armory appropriation of $4,000, the
war chest balance of $4,000 and the
Main street site, which may be conserva-
lively figured at $4,000. Estimating
that the proposed building in addition to
the lot would cost sos, OOO-aud that is
thought to be liberal estimate in view
of recent reductions in material and Ia
bOr-the balance required would be S4O.-
600 That is considerable sum of
money. to be sure. and yet in what other
way than by taking advantage of the
foregoing funds can the town hope to
secure a community house, soldiers me-
mortal and armory without having to
raise two or three times as much? Not
a few communities little larger than
Brattleboro have spent as much as S4O,-
coo on a soldiers memorial alone and
not considered themselves extravagant.
Then, too. there is to be considered the
need of an armory in any event, and its
cost to the town in case the combination
project were abandoned. The records
will show that an appropriation of S1O,-
600 for an armory site was voted 10 or
IL years ago. If the idea Of commun-
ity house and soldiers memorial is given
up there would be unquestioned need of
this money, since the lot which has been
offered would not be available for an
armory alone. As to the need of suit
able quarters for the local military com
pany it is SO urgent that there is serious
