When America took possession of
the Philippines twenty-five years
ago the people were totally without
place on position-the underiings
and slaves of their conquerors
America raised them to the rights OF
manhood and set them en- the path
of selfgovernment. In a country
entirely without educational facili-
ties. save those designed for the sons
of the conquerors, there are today
a million children of the common
people In public schools. where they
are being taught common Ian
guase. Spain had held the Philip
pines for exploitation only and her
selection of rulers had been of those
who would bring results in the
only terms for which absentee in
vestors with interests In the rich
sugar and tobacco lands cared,
namely, money. America. on the
other hand. has worked for civil
cation. Foul cities have been made
clean. Lepers who stalked abroad
without. even the old warning Of
Palestine have been segregated and
taken to the Island OF Culion. where
today is one of the model Fleper
colonies Of the world. Cholera,
hookworm, smallpox, beri-beri. den-
que have been mastered and con-
trolled. IL not obliterated. Slavery
has been eradicated. Painless tropi-
cal jungles have been opened up.
Hills and mountains which for GEN.
turtles had been the strongholds OF
robbers and head hunters have been
connected with civilization by means
of trails. roadways and telephones

done aQong the really savage and

IS Women in German parIiam.rt

The fact that there are thirty I've

not due to the greater intelligence

Parliament, are surely as clever as
we are, nor rs there any lack of wo-
men qualified to serve as legislators
In England or in the United States,
or In any other modern civilized
country. The secret lies in the Ger
man election system. We were en-
franchised, not because of a victory
won by suffragists, for this move
ment. in which 1 have been working
for twenty years, was still rather
weak In 1913. The enfranchisement
or women came as a result Of the
revolution following the military COL
lapse. The first thing the Provision
al Government of those DAYS did in
order TO hand over the full power to
regular government was to call for
q National Assembly, which made
our new Constitution. But without
waiting for the enactment Of the
Constitution, the Provisional Govern
ment granted to men and women
over 20 years old, suffrage on equal
terms. Thus, forty one women were
returned as members of the National
Assembly. Since. 1t is not easy to
take away rights that have once been
granted, adult suffrage was embodied
in the Constitution: When the cleo

kammerer, biologist of the Univer-
sity of Vienna, today flashed on a
scene at City college, pictures of pro-
gressive geological experiments
whereby he asserted he had proved
the Darwinian theory that acquired
characteristics are inherited and had
disproved the Weismann theory that
the germ plasm is continuous from
generation to generation.
DR.. Kammerer showed pictures of
experiments with several varieties of
sea squid, with the proteus newt and
the midwife toad. He asserted he
had succeeded in developing the ru-
dimentary visual organ of the blind
newt into full sized functioning
eye by red illumination to which the
animals were exposed for five years
after birth.
