the intellectual mind. And he extend
ed the welcome of the State to Mr..
Owsley, and stated that the people
would be glad to follow him in the
new phase of work making possible a
finer citizenship.
"Your welcome is a great plea sure
to me-" said Mr.. Owsloy in opening his
discourse. He said that he had not
come to give advice but to learn from
those in attendance.
Speaking of the World War and
Americas participation, he said that
the sending of some of these Amerl-
can boys to France was a colossal
crime-some of those boys learned
to fire their rifles on their way to the
front. One man out OF every five
in the United States troops could
not read, write or speak the English
language.
The racial problems in various
parts of the United States were dis

thing that she noticed was the fact
that they had not the same sense of
right and wrong as relates to proper
ty that we have and that they had to
be taught not to take what did not
belong to them.
Although, as has already been
said, the school started with but one
pupil, the class had increased to
nearly so by the end of the term and
it has been found necessary to hire
an assistant. Some speak not a word
of English, but they have still
learned enough so that they were
sorry when the school closed for the
season.
Mrs. Lawrence pointed out that
the Christians of this country had
gloried in the independence of the
church here, but that they some
times need reminding that it is up to
the church to supply in the life of
the people that which the State does
not provide.
She then told of the growth of our
race from the time that Rome con-
quered the larger part of Europe in
% Il. c. At that time there were
people in what is now part of Hol-
land governing themselves with a
constitution which provided that
they should be free as long as the
wind blows out the clouds and the
world stands" The descendants of
these same people came afterwards
to this country and, they retained
this idea.
We are apparently the most COM
PLEASANT PEOPLE on the earth and are
apt to forget things which we should
remember. While foreign complica-
tions still and probably will exist for
a long time. we should educate the
aliens who take advantage Of our
progress to love tire country and to
love it enough to fight for it if
necessary.

Claims Church Statement of q. S.
Expenses Is Correct.

To the Editor Of The Star:
There appeared in The Star recent
y an article entitled Church and
Federal Tables of United States Ex-
penses Disagree" by Junius B. Wood.
The inference that one draws from
perusing the article Is that the pub
lished statements of the Federal
Council Of the Churches of Christ Of
tionally so. The tabulation for 1920
of the Federal Council Of Churches
was undoubtedly taken from the
ANALYSIS of the late DIR. E. b. Rosa.
which was published in the Trans
ciety Of Mechanicai Engineers. Ref
erence to this article will show that
the statement Of the churches is
correct. -;
are based on the same premises. The
Post Of1ce Department was not in
cluded in the computations OF DIR.
Rosa. as 1t is self-supporting in
stitution when considered over a
period Of years. This item was in
War Department and. hence. the sew
eral percentages enumerated in the
tables were lowered proportionately.
A comparison Of percentages does
light. as a disproportionate change
from year to year in a single item
will affect the entire list of per-.
centages. The real comparison lies
in the fact that for the twelve years
1900 to 1921-the average yearly
net expenditures (not appropria-
tions) for all civil departments were
$212 100000. The amount for any
year did not vary from this figure,
even during the war period. more
than 10 per cent. This compares
favorably with the appropriation for
1922 ne S2A2 Onf.OOO and the budget
estimate for 1928 Of S222,0O0. 200. The
average expenditures of the Army
and Navy departments for the period
1909 to 1916 were $c63,000,000, where
as the appropriation for the Army
and Navy departments for 1929 is
$762.500.000 and the budget estimate
for 1923 is $72S,900,00O. If the- civil
departments with an expenditure Of
$240.000,000 this year are extravagant
they must have been extravagant in
1910, when they spent $207,000,000,
but we heard very little about it
then. CHAS. E. CAKES.

Seeks Philippine Emancipation.

To the Editor Of The Star:
have your editorial Of the 18th
instant under the heading. Back to

of the Philippine senate, you stated
that:
'This may probably be accepted as
a confession that the movement for

administration. has been characteriz-
ed as remarkable" by the missions s
report. and Gov: Wood and Mr..
self-government) the Filipinos are
happy, peaceful and in the main
prosperous" A study Of the statisti-
cal figures of 1913 and 1920 will show
that in all lines Of progress the coun-
try has advanced from two to ten
times in 1920 as in 1913. School en-
rollment increased over 100 per cent,
foreign trade 800 percent, sales tax
revenues Il per cent of gross busi-
ness) $50 per cent, money orders is
sued and postage receipts over 200
per cent, etc. The total resources Of
commercial banks rose from S31, 1,000,-
900 in 1913 to $215.0oo,00o in 1920.
The Filipino people feel that this
is the most opportune time for the
United States to make good their
promise to give the islands inde-
pendence. as stable government is
already established. A thorough
reading of the missions report will
show that there Is in existence and
in efficient operation q stable govern
ment. required by the Jones act as a
precedent to our emancipation. There

Suggests Archives Building Site.
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
The Stars admirable editorial on "An
Archives Building" Tuesday, January
II, will suggest to many persons en-
gagged In serious research along his
torical, legal. scientific and other lines
the following questions:
Should not the site Of this proposed
building be contiguous to the Library Of
Congress? Inevitably. any worker who
searches archives must consult many
rare books; FREQUENT trips tnrough
streets to and from the buildings men
toned would WORK much extra hardship
upon q class whose members seldom
own automobiles. Early In life the ma
jority Of these members acquired the
impovershing habit Of buying books in
stead of vehicles.
anship of the priceless contents Of an
archives building be entrusted to the
Library of Congress- whose guardian
ship Of manuscripts and books Is with
out reproach even as was its past
under that prince Of scholars, Ainsworth
Sponordz The research worker must
often seek the help of skilled librarians.
Much Of the talk about the proposed
archives building has been unintelli-
gent. In and out Of Congress sites
have been proposed for q hail Of
archives far removed from its neces-
Sarily concomitant building, the LII
brary of Congress. The proverbial
man from Mars, listening to these dis
cussions. would infer that an archives
building was nothing more than a COL
lection Of flreproof safety deposit boxes
Safety-yes, Of course. The secure
preservation OF archives is a national
duty. The use Of archives. by properly
accredited scholars, is a national asset
