Durant officials claim, is more than just1 another car to fill out a line. If is the result of careful ' planning - and building to produce an unusual -cylinder car 5 in ' the less-than-$liO0O-pr!ce class. ; ? The motor of the newlstar ,fdx is of the "W head type, bore 2 , stroke. 4 34, and develons 40 brake horsepower. It has full forced feed lubrication and silent chain front drive. The chassis has six cross-mem bers, giving it exceptional strength while the kick-up frame permits a low center of gravity,and low hung body. ? - ' I .AH bodies are by Hayes-Huht corporation and are lacquer finish in black and sagebrush green.

That a special sys tem of instruction is, desirable for the Non-Christian people of the Philippines, especially for the Mo ros who inhabits Mindanao and Sulu and who are' Mohammedans, is the conclusion Of a board of American experts, headed by Dr. Paul Monroe of Columbia unlver- city, which spent four months in making -a survey of the educa tional system of the islands. The board suggested that a spe cial department of the bureau of education be created to take charge and make a close study of school work among these peoples. The board's report Uaysry "The Non-Christian, peoples need a system of education that in many essential .. respects should differ from that developed for the great mass of the Filipino people Only by such 'special treatment can .the Nvn-Christian peoples, be brought up to theeultiirai ' and economic level of th Christian population. To give them the same education as that of the Christian peoples results simply in drawing off a few of the ablest of the youth into the general population."
