A RUSH lO THE ALTAR
Teachers for Philippines Greafly
Embarrass Uncle Sam.
Washington, Aug. 8.?The rush
la the nuptial altar and the rush
far the Spanish grammar are two
of the distinctive feature* of the
wholesale appointment of teach
ers for the Philippines as devel
oped by the correspondence lie
tween the appointees and the
Insular Division of the War De
partment. Thenumberof talent
ed youngcollege graduates whose
first act after receiving their ap
pointments was to enter the
matrimonial state and forward
to the department requests for
transportation for wives was al
most appalling.
The accommodations on board
the transports were strained to
their capacity when thepassenger
-list of teachers alone were made
up. Ingeniously worded letters
began to come in, however, di
rectly after the appointments
were sent out, the newly made
teachers set,ting forth that in
view of their expected long ab
sence ui a foreiga country they
had concluded to marry the
young women to whom they were
engaged, and desired to have
their wives accompany them to
their new posts. The regulation
in this regard is that the person
directly dependent upon the
teacher may he furnished pass
age upon the transport only if
practicable. In Spite of thestraits
to which this new condition re
duced the service, none of the
brides was left at home or com
jM'lIed to cross the Pacific 011 other
than a Government vessel.
Nearly every appointee wrote
to Col. Clarence 11. Kdwards,
chief of the Insular bureau, to
ask If a knowledge of the Spanish
language was imperative as a
qualification for a teacher in the
Philippines. All were informed,
that it was desirable, but not ab
solutely a necessary requisite.
The ambition of the teachers has
led them to engage most indus
triously in the study of the lan
f uags, however, and reports from
lonoiulu state that one trans
port loaded with teachers sailed
into that port en route to Manila
with notices posted in every cabin
to the effect that conversation in
"Spanish except upon the forward
deck would be regarded as mutiny
and punished with confinement
in tbfi ship's brig.
Prof. Kdrqund 11. Ilriggs, of the
Catholic Pniverslty of America,
has been appointed a division I
superintendent of schools in the
Philippines, and, togt ther with
six or eight teachers, will sail
from New York for Manila by the
Sue* canal route 011 Saturday
next*, Augm* 10. Two other
divisional superintendents and n
Targe number of teachers will sail'
from San Francisco about Sep
tember 1st.
