Ilotarians Are Told U. S. Experiment With Philippines a Success A. E. Bigelow, who spent fifteen years in the Philippines, was a guest -at the Minot Rotary at luncheon Monday and delivered an interesting address. He stated that the U. S. experiment in the Philippines has proved a great success. The old form •of slavery among the Filipinos, prac ticed by the Spanish, is disappearing as the inhabitants increase in intelli gence. According to that system, the laborers become indebted to their em ployers and seldom find a way to get out of debt. Mr. Bigelow furnished the following data: Went to the Islands in 1907 as an appointee of the .American Baptist Foreign Mission Society. Has been principal of the Jaro Industrial School of said mission—school has 60 acres •of land raising sugarcane and rice, carpenter shop where about 30 boys a year are trained to use hand and ma chine tools. School teaches all aca demic work as in States through high school, is to add college work next term. Three hundred boys in atten dance each year to date who have stu dent government handling all matters of school discipline, excepting expul sion, which they recommend to princi pal. School a great agency in the de velopment Qf the people. 7 America's greatest achievement to date is the establishment of her public school system in the Islands. There are approximately, in round numbers, 1,000,000 children in 5,000 primary, 500 intermediate, 50 high schools and 5 colleges, all studying in English the courses of such schools in the States with proper adjustments for the coun try. The building of railroads, thousands of miles of first class gravelled roads and many concrete bridges, \over which run the vehicles of a past age with those of the most advanced, and the improvement of inter-island steamer traffic with careful geodetic surveys has brought the islands close together and made progress possible. Reforestation work and agricultural experiment stations make for a far better condition, especially in the im provement of stock and a diversified crop. Great impetus is given the growth of rice for home consumption and that of copra, hemp and sugar for export. Modern mills send annually many shiploads of fine lumber to this and other countries. Modern hospitals, a growing num ber of thoroughly trained Filipino doc tors and nurses backing up the pro gram of the Governor-General and the work of the public schools is work ing marvels in the handling of many DR.

Vaccination for smallpox and the work for the lepers is most significant and all only await a more thoroughly informed public to make the Islands a delightful place in which to live. Even now the death rate for foreigners in Manila is way ahead of that of the city of New York. "Local self government in munici pality and province and the assembly and senate with many capable heads of departments in the hands of capa ble Filipinos bid fair in the near fu ture to realize the dream of the Is landers for independence. Not that they may not make serious blunders in some phases but that they show real capacity for development, partic ularly if politics can be kept a little more in the background and real high spirited patriotism be brought to the fore as is illustrated by many of the new generation now coming on to the scene of action. That they can in time develop a capacity to carry on their own affairs successfully those of us who .have lived among them and know the inside truth believe. That it will be on somewhat different lines from what we Westerners might think best is also sure, but that must be their privilege and belongs to their own genius as a people. I say, give them every chance to make good." Burt E. Stewart, the secretary, pre sided at the meeting. President Shir ley formally presented to the club a mahogany gavel, the gift of Dr. L. H. Beeler, former president of the Minot Normal. The president urged a rec ord breaking attendance for October. Dr. A. O. Fonkalsrud, superintend ent of the Trinity hospital, gave an interesting talk on what has already been done towards building the new hospital with plans for the future. Within three months after the asso ciation was organized, work had ac tually started on the new structure. One of the best locations in the city has been sccured. A small commit tee at work has already raised $55, 000.0ft, and the big campaign for the remainder of the $240,000.00, the cost of the hospital and site, starts this week. This money is to be raised in Northwestern North Dakota and some points in Canada and of the amount, $150,000.00 has been allotted to Minot. Dr. Fonkalsrud thanked the businessmen of Minot for the part they have already taken in the work and says whatever they do will be ap preciated. He stated that it costs on an average from $2,500 to $5,000 a room for a modern hospital. The new Trinity hospital will have first class equipment such as the best of laundry facilities, kitchen and proper refrigeration with excellent ventila tion. Dr. Fonkalsrud thanked the Asso ciation of Commerce for offering their services in handling the publicity and stated especially that the capable sec retary, James Milloy, has taken hold of the work in good shape. Several members of the Rotary are prominent on committee work. W. L. Prosser, son of Dr. Chas. Prosser, at the head of the Dunwoodie Institute, St. Paul, who has come to Minot to learn the railroad business from the ground up, was a guest at the luncheon. He stated that while in Belgium two years ago, a car load of frozen jackrabbits, shipped from Mi not, were received. Some Minot man had heard that the King of Belgium likes rabbits and sent 14 tons of froxen rabbits. The Belgians have a law forbidding the importation of hares as that is one of their principal industries and an investigation re sulted. Young Prosser was interest ed in the investigation which lasted for several weeks. A curator was given one of the rabbits and he took it home and ate it, so he could testify as to the difference between a North Dakota jack rabbit and a Belgian hare. The rabbit made him sick and he was ill for three days. Mr. Prosser did not give the name of the Minot man who shipped the car load of jack rab bits to the King of Belgium, but un derstands that he gets his mail at the Grand Hotel. Dr. Keyes, of Victoria, B. C., a member of the Rotary club of that city, was a guest of the Rotary. He was a pioneer physician of Sherwood, N. D., leaving that city in 1915, after spending some time in Europe spe cializing on the eye, ear, nose and throat. Pauling Says Lincoln Highway Is Rough Huntington, Ind. Ward County Independent: You would perhaps be interested in my trip from North Dakota to Indi ana. I left my old home east of Mi not Monday, Sept. 11, going south to Bismarck. Here I took the Red trail to Jamestown and stopped with Sol ien Bros, a few minutes. They are doing fine and like the city well. Here I took the Sunshine trail south thru Aberdeen, S. D., and on to Mitchell and at Canton crossed into Iowa. I pounded out a connecting rod and was laid up 5 hours and at Waverly I picked up a tack and had to change a tire. At Charles City I hit the Red Ball trail thru Waterloo into Cedar Rapids. 'Here I hit the Lincoln high way. Now we have heard lots about this road, but in some places it is so rough I couldn't drive off from a walk, and had to detour quite a little on ac count of road building. I crossed the Mississippi at Clinton, la. This road is paved from about 25 miles west of Clinton all the way across Illinois. At Joliet I had to stop and clean a spark plug and after crossing the Indiana line, had to detour five miles north. I arrived at Akron, Ind., on Monday, Sept. 18 at 11 a. m. Stopped with some of the wife's people and pulled into Huntington, Ind., on Tuesday evening at 5 a distance of 1,360 miles and with Dakota air in three tires, and was not so very tired. Can you beat it? The Ford brot me thru. F. W. Pauling?" Dr. Keyes, formerly of Sherwood, is spending the week in Minot, visit ing with his old friend, Dr. A..D. Mc Cannel. He attended the American Academy for eye, ear and throat spe cialists in Minneapolis recently and is enroute to his home in Victoria, B. C.f where he has built up a very extensive practice.
