MANILA. August THE annual
report of Vie Gov. Eugene A. Gil
more, ex-off1cio secretary of public In
struction. shows that the Philippine
government spent 1886. 900 for pub
lie schools during 1924, an increase of
S115.00 over the previous year
There was a total enrolment OF
1,126,736 in the 7.746 schools in the
Philippines, the males numbering
1892 and the females 452 ,5o4. Dur
ing the year 26, 6,339 teachers were en-
ployed, Including 326 Americans Dis
cussing the private schools Of the
Philippines, the report gays:
Much remains to be accomplished
in the improvement of the education
offered by private schools. The in
structfon is too academic in character.
Industrial education, although 1t has
received greater attention than here
tofore by the authorities Of the private
schools, still needs development. 1t
may be stated that one half OF the
schools do satisfactory Industrial
work. one+fourth do the work fairly,
and the other fourth do nothing at all
'One of the problems of the private
schools is found in the teaching staff
Many excellent teachers are being EN-
ployed, but the majority do not pos
sess qualifications needed for effective
instruction, due to the low salaries and
temporary employment and the fact
that the ma jority of such teachers are
employed in other places"

Instinct of Bees.
tho Outlook Magazine

From tho Outlook Magazine
Bees are remarkable for the posses
sion of instructive qualities that fit
them for almost every emergency OF
their lives, but in some circumstances
their instinct fails to protect them. A
writer In an agricultural paper says
that in northern Massac sachusetts there
Is more loss of bees from flying IN
chilly weather than from any other
cause. Bees that fly in freezing tenn
perature, or when 1t is too cold for
them to fly except for a short dis
tance, seldom survive to get back to
the hive. he says. His remedy to dis
courage the bees from going out when
the weather is cold or snow is on the
ground is TO shade the hive from the
direct rays Of the srn. Unless this
Is done they apparently think Sum
mer is coming and it Is time for them

n vivid but not pleasing chap
N ter in the story of public af-
fairs in this State, the central
scene of which was Augusta,
the capital, is that describing what
was commonly termed 1.-THE count
out. Had certain influences failed in
that time of emergency it might I'M,
happily have become entitled the
civil war of Maine, with many chap
tiers required for the telling, a blot
on the fair escutcheon of the State.
Aside from its historical value the
story should be read by the people
OF this State. From it may be had
understanding of purpose in the
minds of Maine people to be law
abiding, to exercise. Self control, to
insist on maintaining peace under the
law, to recognize sane counsel.
Those who would read the story
best not confine themselves to one
account, not alone to the report of
the joint select committee to inquire
into the condition of the election re-
turns of September 8. 1879, which
was made in 1880 to the 59th Legis-
lature of Maine, but they should at
least supplement it from the account
in volume II of Maine History, and
from another view point from the
account of the days when Gen.
Joshua l.. Chamberlain was in COM
mand of the situation at the State
Capitol. In the preface of the latter
account the writer makes this COM
mont: 1T is q somewhat remarkab BILE
circumstance that in the investiga-
ton of the count out matters at
Augusta, among numerous witnesses
summoned the General should be the
one not called. That writer also
thinks it worth mentioning that some
OF the most interesting" papers have
been taken from the archives. In
deed comprehension of the situation
will need careful reading Of the var
ious authorities, and then the reader
may conclude it desirable to read be-
tween the lines. There are, how
ever, certain features of prominence,
which should not be overlooked.
The political situation was intense
One writer's comment is: "In truth.
political methods had got to
strange pass at that period. The in
tense greed-not to say need--of get
ting possession of the government
!, led to practices not contemplated by
the Constitution, nor accordant with
truth and right. Orders came, as in
war times: Win at all costs!' Hence
distrust was easily Weakened. and
charges readily framed" There is
evidence in plenty that distrust pre-
vailed widely, that opposing views
were honestly had. to say nothing OF
views evidently not, honest. The
reading of the report OF the investi-
eating committee will leave no OPP
portunity to doubt that, although we

may conclude not all the evidence Of
dishonesty is there disclosed. Includ-
ed in this report are interesting ex-
hibits of election returns and of the
treatment to which they We're sub
jected. for instance that of Somer-
vile, of which the committee says:
IN the original return from Somer-
vile the name of Andrew r. G..
Smith, the Republican candidate for
senator, was properly inserted, while
Ill the second return 1t was written
Andrew A. r. Smith, whereby An
drew Z. G. Smith lost the vote and
was counted out. In all these cases
tho original and true returns have
been suppressed and the substituted
returns have been tabulated and
counted, whereby the Fusion candi-
dates have been in every instance
counted In, and the Republican can
didates have been counted out"
Yet the account in the life of Gen.
eral Chamberlain has this: THAT the
Governor and Council claimed, and
doubtless believed. that they were
within their legal rights in certify
ing members who, in their opinion,
appeared to be elected; while on the
other hand, the candidates and COM
munities so over-ruled believed they
were defrauded of their constitution
al rights
Briefly. the history shows that al
though there was in 1879 no election
of Governor by the people, it was
assumed that the Legislature was
Republican. The vote for Governor
was: for Davis, Republican, 6S,967;
for Smith. Greenback, 47.643; for
Garcelon, Democrat. 21,S51. The
Greenbackers and Democrats gener-
ally acted together. but held separate
State conventions for nomination of
candidates for Governor Here one
finds interesting reading of exciting
conditions and diversities of opinion.
The paper money doctrine was at its
height in Maine, although receding
in other parts Of the country. 1t was
said that Eben F. Pillsbury of Au-
gusta, a leader among the Democrats
had agreed to favor the Greenback
candidate for Governor with assur-
ance Of the latter's support of his
candidacy for the United States Sen
ate. This senatorship was a very
important pawn in the game, with
conditions throughout the country
being what they We're.
Democrats generally accepted the
opinion that President Hayes had
been wrongfully accorded election
two years before, so it is easy to
understand that habitually honest
men among them were inclined to
excuse sharp practice by way of re-
taliation, and history reports that one
OF their leaders told a Republican:
'Xou cheated US in the count for
President, but we have the returning
board here in Maine" Moreover.
the Democratic leaders convinced
heir followers that the Republicans
had resorted to iniquity in the cleo
ton and should not be permitted any
reward from it.
1t was decided that the Governor
