W. Woodworth of the entomological de- | partment of the College of Agriculture. | Professor Woodworth directed the war | with sprays against the tenacious lit- tle insect all of last season in the Pa- jaro Valley and is therefore qualified to tell the orchardists of the State the way out of loss and ruln. | The campaign demonstrated to Pro-| fessor Woodworth one thing and that is | nical sprays are the only real for the codling moth. There- ays considerable stress on this point in his bulletin. Of all the' many suggestions that have been made for | controlling the insect, none but the| arsenical sprays have yielded any re- sults worth mentioning.

But in most of these regions ! others | wanting. | s fessor Woodworth says: | “The amount added to the spraying mixture should be the greater the more | susceptible the trees are to injury. The | ble to injury are those where dews and | fogs are most prevalent. Five or ten| times as much lime as paris green proportion recommended in the moist regions. The amount of paris green commonly used and found very satisfactory is one pound for 150 | | gallons | In the lower portion of the Pajaro | Valley the danger of poisoning the fo- | so great, even when the maxi- mum of lime is added, that we cannot | recommend the use of paris green at all, but suggest the substitution of the lime or lead arsenite.” When and how to spray are questions which Professor Woodworth says must | be answered by the orchardist himself. | California is of such diversified climate that no precise rule will obtain in any two parts of the State at the same Every part requires a different mpaign, differently timed ntly executed.

The second cam- 2ign is timed by the appearance of the moth the spring and requires a method of spray- ing difierent from that of the first cam- paign, the idea being to cover every part of the leaf and fruit with poison. The third campaign i for the later worms and the times of beginning and closing this attack are determined by the production of pupae, from which moths will hatch that geason and lay eggs for another brood of worms. The danger 1o foliage by poison is greatest during this period The aid of orchardists of the State is solicited by the College of Agriculture in the study of the moth, by making observations in their own localities of the facts upon which the timing of the applications in each of these cam- timy | paigns must be based. e ,———— | ALAMEDA UNITARIANS SEEK A NEW MINISTER Extend Call to the Rev.

Now the account is square again. however, in the developments of the day. For on its way across the campus this morning the college population discovered some numerals on the for- bidden Charter Hill. They were the figures '07 in big white letters of lime, visible from every point in Berkeley. The freshmen class had planted them there in the night. That '07 was as a red rag to a mad bull to the sophomores, the traditional enemies of the freshmen, and a band of them charged up the hill. In a lit- tle while, there being no opposition, the sophomores had changed the '07 into 06, life size. When the shades of night lowered over the campus this evening the '06 was still there. This overt act on the part of the sophomores is more than likely to end in another attempt at rushing.

The system of education introduced by the United States Government in the Philippine Islands was explained this afternoon by Professor Bernard Moses, under whose direction the sys- tem was inaugurated in the islands, in a lecture before the Alameda County Teachers' Institute at Hamilton Hall. The topic of Professor Moses' address was ““The Establishment of Publie Schools in the Philippines,” and in his introductory remarks the professor outiined the history of the laws passed { regarding the establishment of schools in ¢he islands, and the division of the archipelago iInto the present school divisions, thirty-six in number, all ex- cept four of which are under the di- rection of a regular division superin- tendent. These superintendents are under a general superintendent ap- pointed by the Government, who is authorized to keep in the service of the insular Government a force of one thousand trained teachers for the primary schools. In addition to these there are a number of teachers in the employ of the various municipalities. Professor Moses pointed out that the work undertaken by the Government through the Department of Public In- struction was new to Americans, and was in some respects different from the course pursued by other natiogs in carrying out their colonial policies. PROBLEM AHEAD. The professor said in part: The work undertaken by the Government in the Philippines involves the problem of one | people educating the members of another, and an allen race, whose thoughts are not our thoughts, and ‘whose motives in conduct it Is not always easy us to understand. There- fore at the foundation of our educational ad- ministration in the Philippines lie the facts relation of one race to another. The government of the Philippine Islands s, therefore. aimed to impart such knowl- edge as would put. the Filipino in touch with the practical ideas and affairs of modern civil- ization. It has believed, moreover, that this might be done without educating him out of | his race. for the Japanese have found a_thor- ough_adoption of Western arts and sclen and Western practical methods quite co ent with an uncompromising retention of their race spirit. They have not lost their essential charactcristics because they build steamships and rallroads and no longer commit hari-kari, and there is much in Japanese history to sup- port the idea that the Philippines may be led to accept many of the arts and practical West, while still retaining many of the distinctive qualities of their race. The educational policy of the Govermment of the Philippine Isiands differs from that fol- lowed by any other European nation in its Oriental dependencies, and this is and must continuye to be the distinguishing feature of American administration of dependencies. Without ft, it might be difflcult to show wherein our government of these dependencles is likely to be superior to that of other na- | tions. Tt is our educational policy that gives us a chance of distinction. and it omght almost be { said that on it hangs the justification of our control of the Philippines.” But if we turn this business over to politicians of the ordinary sort, with their indifference to the &chool teacher and the cultivation he represents we | shall be likely to lose the distinctive feature of the administration that has been established. with very little chance of showing in any other direction a superiority the world will ap- plaud, PURPOSE IN VIEW. Perhaps the most important work under- taken by the government of the Philippines is that designed to provide for the Filipinos an opportunity to learn the English languagze, the knowledge of which it is proposed to con- vey with a_distinetly practical purpose in view. The Spanish policy of preventing the Filipinos in many instances from learning the Spanish language and of looking with distinot disapproval upon the use of this language by the natives is a policy sometimes pursued to make a subject people feel its subordination One of the practical advantages of & knowl- edge of the English language for the!people of the Philippine Islands is that it will supply a common medium of communication where no such medium formerly existed, and in view of What has already been achieved the task of giving the educated part of the people the practical use of a new language appears ncw much less difficult than at first It is as practicable as teaching a community the use of_new tools. During the morning session of the institute a short address was delivered by President David Starr Jordan of Stanford University on “The Broad Mind.” Addresses were also delivered by J. W. McClymonds, S. D. Water- man, F. T. Moore, D. R. Angsberg and Dr. Sarah Shuey. Just before the noon recess the following committee on resolutions was appointed: Miss C. P. Leet, William McDonald, Mrs. Melquiond, N.
