Lolorias in the September Southern Workman, that the Indians could have ever been able to advance any further than wandering over this great land scalping each other, but it is only right and proper that an Indian should, from time to time, repeat the white man's history to the white man; read to him the paragraph which tells that the Indians worked in the copper mines around Lake Superior, that they built mounds in different places in the United States, that they built houses in the cliffs of the southwest, that they built a city in Mexico and mined gold and silver. To-day Casa Grande, one of their buildings, still stands on the arid plains of Arizona, the best preserved and most genuine pre-historic remains of the Indian race. A careful consideration of our history will show us the For a while we loved and respected the white man as Then we made a compromise.

Several causes of the dissatisfaction that has been reported among the teachers in the Philippines are set forth seriatum by one of their number in a recent letter to the Manila Times. These in substance, are as follows: (1) The teachers who went to the Philippines under contracts specifying the salary they were to receive are obliged to suffer the loss of a considerable per cent. of it thru the rates of money exchange, their payments being made in Filipino instead of American money. 2. An attempt has been made to induce the teachers to sign new contracts bearing a later date and agreeing to receive the Spanish money. By this they would lose the time they spent waiting for transportation after signing the old ones. 3. Circulars have been sent them from the department notifying them not to sell school supplies, or to be absent without permission and other commands highly insulting to a self-respecting body of people supposed to be honest and trustworthy. (4) They have been notified that American teachers must not regard themselves as head of the school, but only as teachers of English while a native teacher is to be principal. Other circulars previously received here informed the American teachers that they are to be responsible for the reports of the native teachers and the introduction of the United States educational system. Many teachers are also being paid less for their work in the night schools than was promised them. In view of all this the teachers consider that inasmuch as the government has broken its side of the contract they are justified in resigning and the less patient have done so and returned to the United States. The more patient are waiting developments. The Filininos era ambitious to have more colleges and By W Broo Erasi A the scholarly the study Gover in By Ro M.
