Two year? of Mudy have convinced
V, Kverit Macy. millionaire super.n
)endent of the almshoute. triB* the
county should and can do much more
for its dependent poor than provide
bed and board. As a result th? institu?
tion is gradually being transformed
into a school which will turn its gradu?
ates back into the world with the de?
gree of B. S. R. bachelor of self-re?
liance.
When Mr. Macy v.a? elected to the
supenntendency his tir?? mo'e. after
putting the administration of the alms?
house on .*. bj?inens basis, oral to a?k
the dean of Teachers ColUge to recom

many years of good hard work left in
them, are getting a practical training
in the ihil.es of the farmhand, which
within s few montns should restore
them to i Ik* rank? of the vage earner?
"outside.*1
'ir. Macy Bras led to his decision in
regard to vocational training in the
slmshoass h? the discovery that by no
, all or hit charges were too old
ar.d iiecrepit to ?vork. It did not taks
him lon;r to find out. in fact, that the
average age of the almshous? inmate.?

"In slack time? the almshouses fill
up rapidtj with unskilled laborers?who,
losing their jgbs. find no other opening
ii.in which they can fit. It is our plan
to g.- s men of this kind a sort of
auxiliary service f? sell. We w?ll not
to teach trades in their ."-tirety,
but to show the men how to i.old on ti?
the ir independence when hard t.nv
cme.
"For instance, ws can teach them In
h few months BOW to repair locks and
make keys, how to make brooms, how
to repair mid press clothing, how to
do the rougher kind? of plumbing re*
pair work and how to do general ' I
k'Ting.
"At the same time ?he g.'Y COold
be developed into trained house ser
: vants, taught how to sew and how to
cook.
"Besides the farm, we r.ov? have a
'niloring shop in operation. As rapid*
ly as we can we ?hall start the other
?lepartments, in the meantime trying
to add to the 'curriculum.'
"Part of the scheme is to supply a
different soit of food to ?hose who

farm are no?v gettine; runs:-- of hee

??'.though all the food is wholesome.
"There are two roasoai for having

: men v ho are doing a real day's work
sufficient nourishment, Tue otlyr i?
to offer an incentive for working. T?>

?MS I
Washington. Hec. 17 The bill prom
i?ing independence to the Philipp BOl
and granting the Filipinos a greatlj in?
creased share in the g??vernment ?i?
reported in the Senate to-.lay by a
4 ote of 7 to 1 in the Philippines i -,n
mtttee. Only Senator i.ippitt. of Rhode
Island, voted against it. Senators
I iapp and Kenyon voted '*tth the Hem
ocrats. The bill, wi'h a few amend
nients. is the same that was vigorous v
pushed by the administration al the
last session, but died in co.iferer.ee be?
tween the two house.
The present bill, it is understood.
Will have the full backing of the ad
ministration, and the Republican! have
little hope of defeating It, The prin?
cipal tight will be in the Senate, where
the Democrats have a majority of six?
teen, and the report of the committee
to-day shows that at least two Repub?
lican* will vote with them. The HeUOO
leaders are sail to have agreed to ac?
cept the Senate measure unchanged.
The chief change from the Jones bill
of last year li.'s in the preamble, which
promises independence to the island?.
That clause now reaais that complete
independence will be granted "when, in
the judgment Of the Cnited States, it
will be to the permanent interests of
the people of the Philippine Islands,**
instead of when the Filipinos "shall
have shown themselves to be fitted
therefor." This change wa? made to
meet the criticism that the promise of
intlepentler.ee "when fitted therefor*1
tended to stir up agitation and discon?
tent in the islands, since the people
could not be expected to admit that
they were not now fit for self-govern?
ment.
Another important change increases
