Philippines Face School Problem
After independence From America

MANILA. P. I-As America pre-
pares TO cut adrift from the Philip
pines, she is trying to plan future
trade with them But she also looks
into the question whether they can
really get along without her.
This has caused President Roosevelt
to constitute what he styles pre-
paratory commission" OF Americans,
headed by John Van Antwerp Mac
Murray.
1t Is evident that one of the islands
first failures in trying to run along
independently of the United States
is going to be with the schools. With
the schools they are failing now, and
without adding centavo to teachers
salaries, ranging from $40 to SIS
month in primary grades. where
salaries are lowest, teachers are being
required to teach two sets of pupils
4 day. one set in the morning, the
other in the afternoon.
In such Il program play and craft
instruction are neglected.
The select few are being educated
in the Philippines and quite well.
The masses are hardly being educated
at all. Nearly million children are
IN the primary grades. only 10000
have gone on into intermediate grades,
and fewer than $4,000 to the final
grade before reaching high school,
while those in high school and junoir
colleges together are fewer than $4,000.
This applies to the less than 36 per
cent that get into school at all. And

Russians Find Counter.Revolution
Lurking in New Soviet Dictionary

MOSCOW, August 28.-"Enemies

have found lurking and plotting in
every branch Of Soviet life, have re-
Gently been discovered in an un-
suspected hiding place-the Russian
dictionary.
This Is . monumental work Of
scholarship, published so far only
in folio form, its small type dis
couraging to all but photographers.
Begun in 1923 by the Academy of
Sciences, it had defined less than
half its way through the Russian
alphabet before its editors were de-
nounced as counter-revolutionist
Consider the evidence. Academician
N. c. Dershavin, editor in chief, needed
an illustration for his definition OF
"materialism." This has been by
no means an uncommon word in
country inhabited largely by argu-
mentative Marxists. But the editor
chose q sentence from short story
by Chekhov:

Austrian Print Dress
Is Popular in Hungary

VIENNA.-The Austrian dirndl or
dress OF colored print with short
pulled muslin sleeves and an apron
has taken Hungary by storm. and all
ages IN Hungary are now sporting this
popular costume. It is even crowding
out the Magyar style of dress and is
being worn by every one from the
maid to the debutante.
Some effort has also been made to
'n'roouce the masculine counterpart
OF the dirndl to Hungary, but leder-
hosen, or leather shorts with fancy
braces, and the befeathered cap which
accompanies them, are not proving
popular.

For an illustration OF "indivisible.
the editor chose this sentence:
The Russian church, in spite of
the political cow ulsions Of TIE R,,s-
sian land, has always been single
and indivisible"
When he came to describe for
Soviet students the institution of
Mongol Damaism-against which Boil
sheviks have fought for 20 years
among the Buryat- -Mongols Of ST.
beria-he selected for question:
1--WE will recreate, strengthen and
rebuild the remains Of Lamaism
among the Mongols."
The sentence was written, according
to the Communist researchers who
have been checking the dictionary, by
reactionary monarchist namsd
Katkov In 1854. Although this con-
stituted its literary passport into
the dictionary Of the Academy Of

to hold the country.
In the event, the proposed solution
will fail to satisfy the Arabs. And it
does not permit the Jews sufficient
elbow room to create a strong enough
state to hold the balance.
Miserable Compromise.
In brief, it is a miserable COM
promise.
The clear~sighted recognize this
Yet the British government is COM
mitted to the attempt of this solution
Matters have been allowed to 20 SO
far that no one in governing authority
is prepared to support either of the
alternatives. That the Zionist leaders
realize this was evidenced by the
character of action taken at the World
Zionist Congress in Zurich on August
IL. Though the congress declared
that the partition scheme was 'un-
acceptable 1t was admitted that the
when better terms could be secured.
They will try to improve matters by
getting larger area for Jewish settle
ment
The Jewish state, as proposed in the
British report, Is to cover approxi-
mately the extreme north Of the terri
tory. including Nazareth and the sea
OF Galilee, with a coastal strip running
from the Syrian frontier to some 80
miles south OF Jaffa. This coastal
strip is only 10 miles wide in parts
and from the military point of view
it is indefensible. The Jews first de-
mand. therefore. will be widening OF
this coastal strip up to the foothills
OF the Judean mountains.
Secondly in the Arab portion is in
cluded the Gutenberg power station
on the River Jordan, which supplies
electricity to the whole country. The
| demand will be made, therefore. to
include this, together with the shores
OF the Dead Sea, where a fourishing
potash industry has grown up.
New City Of Jerusalem.
Thirdly. there is new city OF Jeru-
salem outside the old, predominantly
Arab, city. 1t Is inhabited by 10000
Jews and some thousands of Chris
tians. 1t will be demanded that the
modern municipality should be given
autonomous self-government. 1t con-
tains the great Jewish University.
Fourthly. there is a vast semi
desert region In the south of the coun-
try known as the Negeb. 1t stretches
down to the Red Sea to the port OF
Akaba. Sparsey inhabited by Bedouin
tribes, it could, with Jewish energy
and capital. be fertilized. irrigated
cultivated and made capable Of sup
porting large population. 1t may
sound inhospitable, but it used to be
fertile in years gone by and it repre-
sents veritable paradise in the eyes
of the repressed Jewish minorities in
Poland, Rumania and Germany.

Jewish immigration was restricted;
Arab agitators were leniently dealt
with. One OF the most mischievous
Of these, who had fed from the SEN

armed rebellion, was appointed,
through British influence welded by
Jewish high commissioner (the pres
ent Viscount Samuel. as grand multi,
the official head Of the Moslem re-
ligious bodies. This worthy has been
suspected of plotting and instigating
rebellion ever since.
Such leniency and magnanimity are
misunderstood in the East. They are
put down to weakness. If from the
very beginning it had been made plain
that the British meant to govern in
Palestine and to carry out the terms
of the mandate to the full the present
situation would not. have arisen.
Another great initial mistake was
made when the boundaries of Palestine
were settled. Worried and harassed
at the peace conference, Mr.. Lloyd
George failed to give proper atten-
ton to this question. When his ad-
visers told him that Palestine stretched
from Dan to Beersheba, these were the
boundaries adopted. The fertile empty

Mussolini has declared himself the

have fostered Arab nationalism every

OF war with Italy the Italians would
succeed in rousing the Arabs against
them not only in Palestine but also in
Syria, Arabia and Iraq. We British
felt that we could not spare enough
troops to garrison Palestine in strength
for an indefinite period. There were
two possible remedies for this state Of

4 hunch is lust q thouRht that you

A HUNCH is feeling that some
thing is or isn't so, feeling that
takes possession Of you even when
you have no knowledge Of the facts in
the case. Little people Of the Green
Forest often have lunches, and heed
ing them has saved many lives. Many
times has Reddy Fox had take pos
session of him feeling that there was
danger just ahead, although seeing
nothing and hearing nothing to give
him that feeling. AS result he has
abruptly changed his course and so
escaped cunningly set trap. That
feeling is called hunch.
Il was a wholly different kind Of a
huI1ch that Bobby Coon now had. It
want a feeling that there was un-
seen danger near. No, indeed. 1t was
a feeling that at last the time had
come for feast to which eagerly he
looks forward every year. 1t comes
only at the time that corn is in the
milk. That is the time when the corn
Is big enough yet not ripe, the time
when each kernel is juicy with what
Is called milk because 1t looks like
milk.

strong this feeling that the corn in

It. Bobby hadn't been over to that
cornfield this year. 1t was too far
from the Green Forest and the protec-
tion Of the trees there to visit unless
there was some certainty of finding a
reward worth the risk. Now there
had swept over him without warning
the feeling that that corn was ready
and waiting for him.
Bobby slipped away from Mrs Bobby
and the children. Sure that none was
following him, he made his way to
the edge of the Green Forest. There
he paused. Moonlight made the Green
Meadows almost as light as by day.
To reach that cornfield he would have
to travel quite distance right out in
the open, where any one coming that
way could hardly fail to see him. He
didn't like it. He didn't like it bit.
Perhaps it would be better to wait
for a dark night" thought he. mo
one would see him then. Moonlight is
all right in the Green Forest, because
there are Black Shadows all about,
and it is easy to keep out of sight, but
out there on the Green Meadows there
isn't one Black Shadow, not one"
He lifted his head and tested wan
dering Little Night Breeze that came
wandering from the direction of the
cornfleld It told him nothing. Sup
posing that corn wasn't ready yet.
Supposing it wasn't in the milk. He
didn't want it until it was Perhaps
1t would be better to wait. Bobby half
turned to go back. Then once more
over him swept that feeling of GER
tainty. 1t wasn't to be resisted. He
looked in all directions, to make sure
that no enemy was near. Then he
started out across the Green Meadows,
straight toward the cornfield
"Once I get there I will be all
right" he said to himself. "I'll be
out of sight of any one who may hap
pen along"
A swiftly moving shadow caused
Bobby to look up. Hooty the Owl
swooped low over him, lowering there
an instant, staring down at Bobby, his
great round eyes glaring hungrily.
Bobby paused, drew back his lips,
showing all his teeth, and growled.
Hooty snapped his bill in a threat
ening way with most unpleasant
sound and went on to the Green
Forest. Bobby was too big for him.
He was too big and too strong. Bobby
grinned and went on his way. And
so presently he slipped under the
fence into the cornfield He stood UP
at the first cornstalk he came to and
pulled it over until he could get at an
ear. He tore open the husk. His
hunch had been right-the corn was
Just as he liked it best. Bobby pre-
pared to feast.
