Vessel for the Philippines with n Unique Passenner List. If the plans of Secretary Root and Col. Edwards, chief of the insular bureau of the War Department, are carried out, there will soon sail from San Francisco a ship with the most unique passenger list ever recorded. The vessel will carry 1,000 teachers for educational work in the Philippines. Since the Philippine commission has urged 'Secretary Root to send • 1,000 teachers to the Philippines; the insular hureau has been swamped with applications from school teachers. The applicants must be either normal or college graduates; must have several years’ successful experience in school work, and be now engaged in teaching, and must be physically sound and able to withstand a tropical climate, and accept whatever location may be assigned to them by the general superintendent of education for the Philippines. These teachers must also agree to remain three years. The salary will be $75 a month (gold) and traveling expenses from the United States.
