Philadelphia, March L Secretary of War Taft was the principal speaker last night at the fifteenth annual din ner of the Presbyterian Boclal Union of Philadelphia. He spoke on the "rood which Protectant missions can do and are doing In the Philippines.'' He said he had been agreeably sur prided to And how liberal the country hid bn In accepting the religious j jcatlona in the Islands. "Juatlce de mand." he said, "that we acknowledge Indebtedness to friars and other priests of the Roman Catholic church who have given to the I'nlted States Chris- Han material from which we can make a tlf-e;overnlng people." The secretary briefly reviewed the re ligloua hlatory of the Islands and said thnt he did not think the time was ripe for prM'!ytlng. He believed that more can be. done for the Philippines by send'ng money for hoaplula. schools ard churchea, and above all high class clergymen who could set a standard for the people. Ninety per cent of the population, he said, lives In dense ig norance and until this great percent age of the people has been educated, he added, self-government In the islands must be poatponed. The hygUne of the Philippines, he sitld. Is dreadful. He told of how In fants died becauxe if the lack of knowledge on the part of the iftrenU to properly care for them.

New York, Starch 1 The court of cp. ptala hna decided a cawe of ihe great eat Jmpor'nice to thf- teachers of this tity and one which is bound to create a tremendous stir In educational cir cles. Too case Is thnt of Mrs. Kate Jtf. Murphy agalnot William H. Max well as oity mipTlntendenl of schools. Mrs. Murphy, prior to her marrluge, was a teacher in public school ?0 In Brooklyn, her maiden name being Kate M. Hlckey. After she had succeaafully taught for a period of ten years she was wooed and won by Nicholas S. Murphy, n young and well-to-do com mercial traveler. No sooner had she contracted this matrimonial alliance than the tvard of education declared that her position as school teacher vacant and thereupon appointed ano'her teachej In her place. This was done in pursuance of a by law of the board which provides tha't the marriage of a teacher forfeits her position. In addition to that there is another by-law which reads: "No married woman shall be appointed to any teaching or supervising position In the day public schools." Mra Murphy declined to accept the decision of the board of education as final and consulted Swanstrom & Keyea, of which firm ex-Borough Pres ident J. Edward Swanstrom Is the cnlof partner, ; i . . A writ of mandamus was applied for and granted, requiring the board of education to reinstate the relator, Mrs. Murphy, to her former position. Ihe appellute division, , Juatlct Hooker, writing the opinion, decided that he by-laws was reasonable and that the board of education had a right to re move any teacher who was no forgetful of her position in the teaching force as to enter tbs state of matrimony. Mrs. Murphy's lawyers at once appealed to the court of last resort, which has just handed down a decision reversing the decision of the appellate division and holding that it Is no crime for a teacher to get married. There are a number of similar cases In Mr, Bwaii Strom's office which have been - held In abeyance pending this decision. , Tbs result of the decision will be to restore a number of teachers who have been removed for no ottasr reason than their marriage.
