SCHOOL SYSTEMS
Separate Institutions Urged
in Philippines by U. S.
Board of Experts.
Correspondence Of the Associated Press.

MANILA. September 1O.-That a
special system Of instruction is desira
BILE for the non. Christian peoples of
the Philippines, especially for the
Moros who inhabit Mindanao and
Sulu and who are Mohammedans, is
the conclusion of board of American
experts, headed by DIR. Paul Monroe
OF Columbia University, which spent
four months in making a survey of
the educational system of the islands.
Tho board suggested that a special
department OF. the Bureau of Educa
ton be created to take charge and
make close study OF school work
among these peoples. The boards re.
port says:
1.-The non.Christian peoples need a
system Of education that in many es.
sential respects should differ from tha,
developed for the great mass of the
Filipino people. Only by such special
treatment can the non-Christian peo
pies be brought up to the cultural and
economic level OF the Christian popula.
ton. To. give them the same educa-
tion as that OF the Christian peoples
results simply in drawing off a few
OF the ablest of their youth into the
general population
A bill providing Tor separate school.
| for boys and girls in Mindanao and
Sulu. where nearly all the inha abitants
are Mohammedans. has been intro
duced in the House of Representatives

mentary schools of MindanaO has not

NEW FOSSIL GROUP

PEKING. September 19.-The fos-
silized skull of two-horned beast
that probably walked the earth or
cloven hoofs some millions of years
ago, is the latest discovery made by
the third Asiatic expedition.
Roy Chapman Andrews, leader OF
the expedition. and Walter Granger
chief paleontologist of the expedition
have just returned from Mongolia.
The skull was regarded as the most
important find of the season. The
horns are larger at the top than al
the juncture with the skull, suggest
ing that the animal might have be-
longed to the giraffe family.
Two other skulls were found. larger
and suggestive of the rhinocerus. bu,
with teeth like nothing heretofore
known The skulls are being shipped
embedded in the rock in which they
We're found, to the Museum of Ma
tural History in New York.
An important feature Of the finds
Granger said, is the fact that they
suggest new group Of prehistoric
animals in Asia.
The fossil beds in which the explor
erS have been working were described
as so rich in fossils that they were
practically interlacinG in places
Twenty seven jaw bones were exposed
in one small area.

FIND CLIMATE HAS
| EFFECT ON SUICIDE
German Investigators Make
Statistical Survey of Eu-
ropean Countries.
Bv Cable to The Star.

BY Cable to The star
BERLIN. October 10.-One of the
most remarkable statistical surveys
ever made, devoted to all phases of the
subject of suicide, was made public
here tonight. The survey embraces
sll of Europe and is characteristically
exhaustive and detailed.
The German investigators establish
scientifically that climate and suicide
are mathematically related-that coun
tries with variable climate produce the
most suicides, and that these Coun
tries are found between AZ and 81 de.
Erees east longitude and 30 and "a de
sreeS north latitude, which embraces
central Europe.
More I'm Flat Country.
There are more suicides in flat coun
try than in mountainous. For cen,
trail Europe, May and June are the
most productive of self lf-destruction and
the favorite days are Monday and
Tuesday for men and Sunday for
women. Onethird of the suicides are
committed at night. the rest in the
forenoon and afternoon. with Il very
few in the early hours Of the morn
ing.
Twice as many ProteStantS in Ell-
rope ended their lives as did Catho.
lies. Among the Jews suicide is on
the increase, especially among those
who are not orthodox. for in Eastern
Europe, among the pious Jews. practi'
cally no suicides at all are reported
Four men commit suicide in Ger
many for every woman. but more
women between the ages of 20 and 80
Kill themselves than men. Divorce
plays a big role in suicide in the

who commit suicide to | married man.
and ) divorced women to l married
woman.
Prefer Drowning.
1t is established that women prefer
drowning means of death. while
men evince no marked partiality for
any particular method
The investigators insist that the
movies influences suicides. They ana
lyZed $50 pictures and found there
were 81 murders. 81 divorces, 10 rapes
A. suicides and l76 thefts. The investi
gators conclude from this that the
movies have Il harmful effect on those
predispoSed to Self-destruction.
Germany has the highest record fol
child suicide, 10 boys under. l6 and ]
girls for every million population
while France has 3 boys and girl
for the same number.

FLORIDA WILL GET
.P.0. EMERGENCY AID
McCarI Supports Efforts to
Provide Funds for
Postal Needs.

Postmaster General New has organ
iZed his postal forces to meet the eX-
traordinary situation in Florida,
brought on by the enormous influx of
people from other parts Of the country.
Charles F. Trotter. Deputy First AS
sistant Postmaster General, will leave
early next week for Miami, to take
charge of the situation for time, and
conclude the work begun by First AS
sistant Postmaster General Bartlett.
The Postmaster General has secured
decision from Controller General
McCarl on various phases Of the sit
uation and has ample authority to
make certain expenditures to meet the
abnormal conditions.
What Is Justified.
The controller general, however,
points out that abnormal conditions
at one place do not justify eXpendi-
lures regardless of reasonablenesS or
the need to meet unusual conditions at
other places. Mail handling under alb
normal conditions necessarily must
have lesser collections and deliveries
than under normal conditions or even
unusual conditions, he says, and eA.
traordinary expenditures to make nor
NAL conditions Immediately are not au-
thorized.
The controller general decided that
the Post Office Department might. if
the necessity is shown. procure ma.
terial, equipment and labor, and if
necessary rert ground to locate and
maintain a camp to furnish lodging
for its employees at reasonable
charge Two such camps are being
conducted, one at Miami, the other
at West Palm Beach.
Provision for Lodgings.
Authority was given to rent build
ings or rooms and maintain lodgings
for employees at a reaSona BILE charge
Construction of post offices of a non
permanent character. and the leasing
of land upon which to erect TEN
porary post offices, where ii is i'm
practicable to rent suitable quarters
has been authorized.
Temporary detail or ransfer OF
postal clerks and carriers for a lin
tied period only, after which these
employees must return to their former
stations, il authorized. The depart
ment has found 1t necessary to trans
fer about 200 employees to meet the
situation. Points where extra helI
was found necessary are Miami st
Petersburg. West Palm Beach. Sara
