EDUCATION'S

iterative occupation. There wcro al
ready in the Philippines young women
who had learned embroidery and lace
making in tho convents muter tho
Spanish regime. Furthermore, bocauw
of their great natural aptitude for such
work and because of their patience
and delicacy of execution tho Fili
pino women nro considered among tho
most skillful workers in the world In
these nrts, their products being clasBod
by experts as even superior to thoso of
tho French nnd the Swiss.
The schools nre therefore working on
mire ground In teaching laccmaklng
and embroidery, and they havo ascer
tained that the demand for tho kind
of work their children can turn out Is
practically unlimited. In an effort to
Incroiiso the avallahlo mipply of teach
ers for the work courxes In lacemak
ing and embroidery have been offered
In the Philippine Normal school slnco
1010 and also in the various vacation
assemblies of teachers.
Some Statistics.
The first thing a Filipino girl docs in
the sewing class in school is to mako
for herself a complete outfit of cloth
ing. This work she usually begins in
the second grade, but sometimes In tho
lirst or third. Armed with an em
broidery frame and other apparatus (In
most cases made by the boys in tho
same school), she advances In pro
Hclency through the various grades,
hemming and embroidering cotton
squares, flue linen, handkerchiefs,
waists, and so on. The more expert
girls turn out masterpieces In French
net and embroidery. Iu lace they
maka all varieties of "pillow lace," In
eluding "torchon" (Spanish Ince), Mal
tese, Ceylon or Indian, Irish crochet,
etc. Uattenberg Is also made for lo
cal use, but It Is not encouraged for
export, because the Japanese can mnko
It more cheaply.
An Idea of tho extent of Industrial
education in the Philippines may bo
gained from tho fact that nearly 400,
000 school pupils are engaged In somo
kind of Industrial work. For the past
four years Industrial Instruction has
been prescribed In tho primary course
for both boys nnd girls, and the work
is systematically carried on in an ad
vanced stage In tho Intermediate
schools. Twenty-six well equipped
trade schools have been established In
Manila and the various provinces.
There Is a college of agriculture at Los
Hanos, and n college of engineering
has been added to tho University of
the Philippines.
The Filipinos take to tho educational
program, industrial and otherwise,
quickly and profitably, and the civil
government finds its duties much less
onerous now that the military invasion
of the islands has been superseded by
the educational.

COUNTERFEITING FALLS OFF.
Largely Because of Better Business,
Chief Wilkie Admits.
There has been a marked falling off
In tho counterfeiting of money recent
ly, but government officers charged
with tho detection and suppression of
this form of crirao are willing to con
cede that tho Improved condition is not
due entirely to their activity.
John E. Wllklo, chief of the United
States secret service, said that tho
prosperous state of tho country was
responsible mainly for the decreaso in
tho amount of work thnt the agents
of tho service nro called on to perform.
"Whenever tho country is prosper
ous crirao is less," said Chief Wilklo,
"and this rule, which has been demon
strated by years of experience, applies
as much to counterfeiting as to other
offenses against tho laws. Prosperity
means that work is plentiful and em
ployment easy to obtain. Many per
sons of criminal tendoncles prefer to
gat money honestly."
The decreaso In counterfeiting bo
camo noticeable about eighteen months
ngo, according to Mr. Wllkle. Last
year about -100 cases of counterfeiting
were investigated, whllo this year
there probably will bo less than 800,
nn unusually small number.
NEW GLACIAL PHENOMENON.
Discovered at Fort Fredorick, Near
Crown Point, N. Y.
A phenomenon that Is thought to be
of glacial origin has just been discov
ered on Fort Frederick grounds near
Crown Point, N. Y. It Is an IrainonBO
cavity In a limestone formation that
was apparently bored by tho forces of
naturo centuries ago.
The pit, which Is a hugo bowl in
shape nnd fifteen feet in depth by nlno
feet In diameter, wos first noticed by
workmen In tho employ of Mrs. Frank
S. Wltberbee, who gavo tho grounds to
the state. Tho men wero excavutrag
for a supposed secret tunnel from tho
fort to Lako Champlaln when their at
tention was drawn to tho pit.
Amateur geologists and others who
have seen the phenomenon nro certain
that tho cavity was formed during tho
glacial period. Tho fact that tho hole
is entirely smooth and that at its bot
tom rested a large granite bowlder
until It wns blasted out Is proof, they
say. that tt was not tho work of man.
HOW TO tNGREASE
WORLD'S FOOD
Prof. De Vries Tells of Experi
ments In Mutation of Plants,
MADE DAISIES GROW BIGGER.
Dean of Botanists Belicvos Vhoat and
Rice Can Also Be Intensified to Feed
Futuro Generations Ho Is to Explore
the Wilds of Southern Florida.
Professor Ilugo do Vrles, director ot
the Amsterdam Itotanlcal garden and
the recognized dean of botanists, re
cently lectured nt the New York Ilo
tanlcal gardens on his observations
and experiments In tho mutation of
plants. Many scientists ntteiided tho
lecture and lauded Professor de Vries
as "tho successor to Darwin nnd a
Rivat benefactor to the nations."
Dr. de Vrles, a man of about sixty
years, does not mind being culled a
successor to Darwin, whoso work ho
bus adapted. He would deny, how
ever, that ho hnd not gone further than
D.irwin in his understanding of plant
life. It was exactly the divergence
between Darwin's conclusions and his
own conclusions tltat constituted tho
subject matter of Dr. de Vrles' lecture.
Darwin, It Is recalled, explained tho
origin of new species by the theory of
gradual variation. Dr. do Vrles, on the
other hand, while he admits that thero
arc no cud of gradual variations in
plant life, adds that new species also
como Into being by "leaps and bounds"
In n single day, ns It were.
The Best Illustrations.
The Iwst Illustrations of tho muta
tion of plants Dr. de Vries noted in
such flowers ns the foxglove, daisy,
evening primrose nnd marigold. In his
own experiments, starting with nn or
dinary single daisy and keeping all tho
seed and planting it. he noticed second
j ear daisies having twice as many
petals as they had the first year and at
the exxpense of a diminishing center.
Continuing the selection of tho seed
from the exceptional specimens In each
daisy patch, he, grew wlthlu four years
a daisy which had no center seed pods
whatever and which had increased
Its petals or ray flowers during that
time from 21 to 200. Needless to say,
the now flower did not resemble tho or
dinary daisy nt nil, and it remained In
tact as a distinct species of flora.
This illustration was evidence, Pro
fessor do Vries maintained, of the ne
cessity of increasing the yields of all
plants, so that the Increasing popula
tion of tho future might not want His
optimism in tho development of plan.t
life extends to wheat nnd rice and tho
other grain, nlthough ho said ho was
not yet experimenting In those fields.
Not Rivaling Burbank.
"Dr. do Vrles is not rlvnling our
own Hurbank," said Dr. W. A. Murrlll,
director of tho New York botanical
gardens. "He stands supremo In his
own lino of endeavor, nis experi
ments are purely theoretical. Burbank
tries to develop the biggest plums and
the biggest potatoes, but De Vries tries
to mako two petals grow whero but ono
grew before. Ho is paving tho way for
tho bigger Burbanks of tho futuro.
"Our experimental stations, you
know, are practical, and they seek
practical results In the culture of food
stuffs. But some day that lino of ex
perimental work will bo exhausted
and scientists will ask for something
new. Then somo ono will apply, In a
practical way, tho principles which
Professor do Vrles Is now laying down.
The secret of tho futuro Is to bo ablo
to repeat exactly by agriculture the
mutations as observed now In nature.
That Is the work of science, and that
Is whero the new nnd bigger Burbanks
will have their future."
Tho speclnl occasion which brought
Dr. do Vrlos to this country nt this
tlmo is tho opening of tlio great Itlco
Industrial Institute In Houston, Tex.,
in October. Ho also expects to visit
a county in Alabama whore n variety
of especially largo evening primroses
has long been a great attraction.
Later ho will join an exploring expedi
tion to bo sent by tho Now York bo
tanical gardens to the wilds of south
ern Florida.
INDIANS TO GIVE PAGEANT.
Carlisle to Celebrate 160th Anniversary
of League of Amity,
Superintendent Friedman has an
nounced that tho Carlisle (Pa.) Indian
school will eclcbrato the ono hundred
nnd sixtieth anniversary of the Leaguo
of Amity In October with a pageant
Part of tho celebration will represent
tho first Important Indian council be
tween tho natives of this country nnd
tho whlto man in 1752. A procession
made up of descendants of tribes of
tho original participants will add much
histcr to tlio occasion.
Some of tho costumes and scones!
from tho historical pageant of Phila
delphia will bo loaned by Dr. Ober
holtzer for tho occasion, nnd It is ex
pected that tho affair will bo ono of
tho most interesting historic events
that havo ever been given In America,
New Powders No Better Than Old.
Experiments having demonstrated
that tho now powders used in tho
French navy wero no bettor than tho
old ones, the battleships of tho third
battleship squadron and the first
squadron recently recelvod orders to
put them ashore.
The Problem of Cotantry Life
By CHARLES STELZLE
RURAL decay is ono o tho most stnggerlng problems In American na
tional life. In tho matter of population alono it calls for serious at
tention. Tho percentage of rurnl population in the United Stntcs has
been steadily decreasing as follows: In 1SS0 there lived in the country 70.G
per cent of the total population; in 1S00, C3.D per cent; in 1000, G9.5 per cent;
in 1010, C3.7 per cent
Tho loss of rural population Is duo to economic, social and educational
causes. Hcllglon and religious Institutions nlso play an lmportnnt part In tho
problem. Wo hear much these dnys about the "country life movement." Let
It bo noted that this Is a different proposition from the "back to the land"
movement It may bo said broadly that tho first was Inaugurated for the pur-

poso of benefiting the country, the second for the purpose of benefiting the
city. Unquestionably more will come of the former than of the latter, for the
movement to Improve tho conditions of farm life is In harmony with a normal
desire, while the effort to transplant the city man to tlio country is in violation
of natural law. Just ns the city must work out Its own salvation, so the oun
try will bo compelled to solve its own problems. It must be quite apparent
that good farm laud and profitable farming will not settle the most vital iies
tlons In tho country. Principally, tho leaders In this movement tell us. there
must be a higher idealism among country people. They must have higher
standards of education, of social life, of the moral well being in each com
munity. Tho country Hfo commission appointed by the president said in its
report, "Any consideration of tho problem of rural life that leaves out of ac
count the function and the possibilities of the church nnd of related institu
tions would bo grossly inadequate, because from tho purely so
ciological point of view tho church is fundamentally a necessary Institution In
country life."
